Behind the mask

Are there times when you question what all the efforts you have put into literally everything you have ever done in your life is for?

Lotteries

Once upon a time, I always said 'I am not lucky with lotteries'...

The European Film festival is held annually in May. Everyday, there is a raffle draw and of course a winner would emerge.
