The Raffle Man

Image
Addis Ababa Ethiopia African Youth Athletic Championship  This a picture of a man selling raffles at Addis Ababa Stadium which I took the liberty to name The Raffle Man. Wearing the Ethiopian national team shirt The Raffle Man is selling raffle tickets to the crowd who came to watch the African Youth Athletic Championship like he always does before major soccer matches held at the stadium. Regular stadium attendees know him well and buy from him tickets to win the prize of the day. Every time a big match is scheduled at the stadium The Raffle Man comes early and advertises the day's special prize to be won by a lucky ticket holder then he proceeds to sell raffle tickets from one corner of the stadium to another corner until the match is about to end. This is the time that The Raffle Man makes the draw and announce the winner. He had to again shout and call the winning number until he finds the lucky winner which he immediately hands the prize to in front of the crowd.  By
