The driver then sent a follow-up message stating, “I am on my way. Please wait for me”.

After a few minutes, the driver sent another message, asking the customer if they could wait five minutes.

Before the customer could respond, the driver replied,

I go buy 4D.

Unamused by the driver’s request, the customer stated that they were in a hurry and advised the driver not to buy a lottery ticket after accepting a passenger’s reques

It is unclear if the ride was cancelled after the conversation.
