Yes, you’ve read it correctly.

He bought the ticket from a local store using a combination bet. The lucky match-up on this ticket was a winning number combination whose digits carried the promise of luck and fortune.

The choice of the microwave as his safe was definitely a play of odds. It might have been an odd choice but it highlighted his concern for keeping the ticket safe more than anything else. After celebrating his victory, he began to worry about the safety of his ticket from his pet who had a bit of a meddling streak, hence the decision to use the microwave as an unlikely protective vault.
