Kashem is a poor rickshaw puller in Dhaka. He drives rickshaw to different areas of the city. One day he saw some men selling lottery tickets enticing the passers-by. Kashem felt tempted and bought a ticket. He knew the date of the draw. He was waiting eagerly for the day. Then the much awaited day came and he purchased a daily newspaper and began to search his ticket number with excitement. To his great surprise, he could easily find out his ticket number. He got the first prize amounting to 20 lac taka. He was overwhelmed with joy and was in a fix thinking what to do. Too many plans and programmes flashed in his mind included buying a ready-made house in Dhaka and marrying a beautiful lady. But with the lottery money he became burdened with so many problems and complains. He got a lot of money but alas! he lost his mental peace.
