If I'm luck, I can read Inachu Ping Pong Club and try the different skills at the same time. Of course I can continue to invest to my art creation.

However, if I win the first prize, would I be an artist anymore?

After word No. 1
At last I only win seven seventh prizes, the prize is totally one hundred and forty dollars. The seven tickets are confiscated so that I lose one hundred and forty dollars ticket prize since I can't cash from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. In fact, nothing has changed on my wealth and my fate.

After word No. 2
When I was holding fifty mark six tickets, I always feel that I would be very lucky and I would win the first prize to get loaded. This gave me confident, the future would be money and pleasure.

After word No. 3
When I decided to be an artist, I always feel that I am special and born to be an artist. This gave me confident, the future would be achievement and fame.
