Lottery Ticket

While I waited in a supermarket line this week, I noticed a man walk to the customer service counter. He appeared to be in his early thirties.  He was casually dressed in jeans, tee shirt, sandals, and a cap. He was pleasant, but  his request to the lady at the counter was unusual.
"Is there anything, any work I can do around here to earn a lottery ticket?"
The lady looked puzzled.
He repeated the request.
The lady said, "We don't do that type of thing here at this store."
He replied,"I just thought I'd ask. I just lost my wallet, so..." "Thanks anyway."
Then he walked out. He was still pleasant.
It just seemed odd to me, as well as to the others standing nearby.
Smiles,
