The Lottery Ticket by Anton Chekhov
A modestly lived couple discover they may hold a winning lottery ticket, and as they indulge in vivid fantasies about sudden wealth each reveals private hopes, petty jealousies and lingering resentments; the prospect of money magnifies their insecurities, exposes the fragility and misunderstandings in their marriage, and makes clear that even the mere possibility of fortune can upend ordinary life and reveal true characters.
