The story was about a married police officer and a

waitress with blond hair. One day, he had a cup of

coffee at a café across from the lottery shop.

Suddenly, he was asked to hurry back to his office

for a meeting. He didn’t have any change to tip

the waitress. So he told her he would give her half

of the prize if he won the lottery.

Later, the police officer was lucky

這是有關一位已婚警官和一位有著金髮的女服務生的故事。有一天，他在一家彩券行對面的咖啡館喝完咖啡後，接到命令必須趕回他的辦公室去參加一場會議。他沒有任何零錢可以給女服務生小費，所以，他對她說假如他中了彩券的話，他會把獎金的一半給她。 後來，這位警官真的非常幸運地贏得樂透彩，因此他就給了這位女服務生兩百萬元。

然而，警官的妻子非常生氣，並設法要把錢要回來。最後，她不僅要回了所有的錢，而且也離開了她的丈夫。這位警官和女服務生又變窮了。他們很快地愛上彼此，而很多人為他們的故事所感動。世界各地的人寄支票給他們，幫助他們重新開展新事業。
