Meaning Is a Retrospective Thing

Thought experiment.
You have two tickets
For two lotteries
Bought for the same price
At the same kiosk.

It’s a windy day.
You walk out the door
Of the bodega,
Tickets in pocket,
And both blow away.

You try to chase them.
One of them you find
Face down in the mud.
The other’s just gone.
You give up and go.

Two tickets, the same
Numbers, your favorite
Numbers, but for two
Different lotteries.
Your numbers come in.

What if they come in
On the lost ticket?
What if they come in
On the one you found?
Which outcome means more?
