He puts the ticket in a drawer in his desk and thinks no more of it. Ben is in love with Florence Smith, a pretty nurse. He calls on her, proposes and is accepted. From then on, Ben works night and day in order to save up money enough to buy a little home for his bride-to-be. At the end of six months his health is gone and he is unable to work. Florence breaks the engagement, her love being of the shallow kind. She returns the ring and poor Ben's pleadings are in vain. Following the instructions of his family doctor, Ben goes into the country to work on a farm and hires out to James Karker. Slowly he regains his health and eventually finds himself deeply in love with Ione, the farmer's daughter. They become engaged. Sometime later Ben receives a letter apprising him that lottery ticket No. 13 had won one of the grand prizes and he returns to the city for a few days. Following Ben's departure, Ione is taken ill. A nurse is sent for. The nurse turns out to be Florence, Ben's old sweetheart. Florence finds Ben's picture, also the letter telling of his good fortune and the money he will receive. Perhaps Ben loves her yet. She will try to win him at all costs now that he has money. On the day of Ben's return to the Karker home, Florence gets Ione out of the way and is all alone when he comes. Ben lets Florence think he still loves her and as she holds out her finger to receive the ring, Ben squares up the account. Ione gets the ring and a loving husband with a nice bank account, on Lottery Ticket Number 13. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
