Martin Perez takes a bottle of holy water out of his pocket and sprinkles it on the table at the C.C. Bingo Hall on Corpus Christi’s Westside.
He explains that other players envious of his good fortune in bingo may have thrown salt on his table to dampen his luck.
“They do it on days that I don’t come. They know where I sit. Before I sit down, I throw holy water and that kills everything, if you have faith,” he says.
