Aileen Love · Answer 1

At the end of Colin Linder's "Lucky Charm", Jesse Larkin tells the story of how his father (Little Willie) who loved playing poker - but is continuously on a bad luck streak - has an awesome night at the tables one Saturday that he chose to take Jesse to Black-Eyed Petes' Pool and Arcade Emporium. Then after 15 years of no playing (he called voluntary banning), "Little Willie" convinces Jesse to go one more time, and on that Saturday, the father has a great night, emerging victorious against "The Marlboro Man" only to pass away in sleep in the night.

Therefore the answer is option B) Willie wins big and then dies that night.
