Forged Lottery Tickets

In a game of chance where winner takes all
Won one million pounds on the last ball,
To celebrate my win
Marriage gave way to sin,
The Judge demands a national recall.

Are you trying to say that money corrupts? I could stand a little more corruption then - I guess. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish
