    Ivan reads the lottery numbers to his wife Masha, telling her the series is correct but mistakenly says the last number is 26 instead of 46. Masha believes they have won and dreams of their new life. When Ivan realizes his mistake, he dreads having to shatter her dreams. They argue, and Ivan checks the newspaper again, finding the series is right but the number is actually 46, not 26, destroying their hopes and dreams. The theme is the destructive nature of envy and desire for material possessions.
