Renya Kagurazaka’s bad luck bottomed out when he tried his hand at his local mall’s lottery machine stand. He only did it because he
was told to by the cute girl running the stand.
He spun it, expecting nothing, but ended up getting the golden ball, winning the grand prize!
“Congratulations, Mister Winner! You have won the grand prize!”
