The former Republican, who is now going to serve in Congress as a Democrat representing Florida, drew the worst number in the lottery system that determines who gets what office on the Hill. That probably wasn’t the reaction he wanted from his colleagues as they erupted in a roar of laughter and applause.
And lucky number 50 — Member Elect Charlie Crist (D-FL) draws the worst number for selecting his House office #ouch pic.twitter.com/wNrs5G2h5b

Democrat Lou Correa of California drew the coveted number one ticket and got first pick of offices.
Congressman Lou Correa crossed himself, looked to the heavens and drew number-1… The CA rep will get first pick at available offices

Crist, an attorney who was Florida’s Republican governor from 2007 to 2011, lost a bid for the Senate in 2010 to Marco Rubio in the primary. He then switched parties, and lost in the general election running as an independent.

Not ready to hang up his hat, Crist switched parties once again, becoming a Democrat. But his run for Florida governor was not a success and he lost to Rick Scott in 2014.
Twitter users found Crist’s dose of karma quite entertaining.

@AlexNBCNews @byrdinator He’s a career politician. All he’s ever done. Switched parties 3 times to stay employed. Serves him right.
