With 250 gold left, he bought a few Magic Missile scrolls for 50 gold apiece that he slid in to his belt. While maybe not the most efficient usage of his remaining gold, having additional combat spells he wouldn"t have to spend any of his magic on would be a huge boon.

He was more than a little curious as to what kind of thing he could win, and 100 gold was too little to buy much else of use. He navigated to the lottery screen in the shop, and selected the Copper Lottery Ticket. When he did so, the last 100 gold vanished, and the Terminal screen was replaced by a floating spinning wheel with different things marked on different sections. Most of the sections were marked with different amounts of currency, mostly lower than 100 gold, with a few higher. There were also about a dozen panels marked with different item names, like healing potions or bits of armor, as well as silver and gold panels that were much smaller than the others and showed magic items. The smallest of all was a narrow black sliver that was marked with nothing but a single silver question mark.
Following the prompt next to the wheel, Jack reached out and grabbed onto the wheel, which felt surprisingly solid, and gave it a hard spin. It whirred into a rainbow-colored blur with a rapid clicking sound. It spun for a solid 20 seconds before it began to slow, the clicks coming further and further apart until the disk finally clicked to a halt.
There, right in the center of the tiny black sliver, stood the wheel"s selector needle.
Before Jack could even process if this was a good thing or a bad thing, the Wheel disappeared with a blast of confetti and a blast of trumpets, and was replaced by a small, floating black box that hovered in slow, rhythmic circles above the palm of the Terminal pedestal.
Curious, he walked over and reached out for the small box, which dropped gently into his hands as he did so. The box shook softly, before it popped out with a small fanfare and a jet of colored light.
There, in the bottom of the box, were two rolled up pieces of parchment.The first, when unfurled, indicated it was a free ticket for for the Silver Lottery. The second one, somehow even better than the first, was a ticket for a free random 10 point Attribute increase through the Terminal.
Jack"s jaw dropped. Well. THAT was lucky.
Feeling flush from his sudden unexpected luck, he immediately rushed to the lottery screen again and spent the Silver ticket. A wheel similar to the first popped up, and Jack eagerly grabbed the wheel and gave it a hard spin. To his disappointment, however, it landed on one of the standard magic item prizes. The wheel vanished, leaving a small silver cube resting in the palm of the Terminal pedestal.
Puzzled and more than a little deflated, he picked the small item up, and opened the Inventory Management function to examine it. The menu display told him it was an [Arrow Magnet]. Apparently if he threw out on the ground next to him, it would attract all arrows and other missile projectiles fired in his direction until it was destroyed or a minute elapsed, whichever came first.
It was definitely useful, if a bit situational, he thought. He shrugged and put the cube into one of the leather pouches on his belt. It could certainly get him out of a pinch in the right situation.
