In a dull town outside of Averton city, three people with the name of Velma, Christina and Ashton had all decided to stop at a local 7 eleven at different time periods of the day buying a lottery ticket just for the experience, but also to win.
A small house stood not far from the seven eleven near the gas station with a wood like house with a small green door,along with a window covered by a green curtain over it.
Velma was sitting on her couch with black leather seating flipping through channels until now about the lottery. She had thought for a moment running to grab her ticket hoping the five numbers would pop up.
Ashton however had no belief in lottery tickets, he assumed they were scams for fake counterfeit money and would eventually become broke and that he and his family would live on the streets.
It wasn't until his wife convinced him that he should try it for the experience, just to see how it feels to buy one and have an urge to wait and see if you have the correct numbers.
Ashton had left the store stuffing his packed cigarettes into his pocket of cargo pants and headed to the car. His car was a red Jeep with a sticker on the back that said in black bold "child on board"
That was a while ago, when he and his wife had their first child and she had gone into labor while the two were on vacation. He kept the sticker there to never forget and to also keep people from speeding behind him.
He had gotten in his car as the engine started with a loud roar and the radio turned on blaring the daily news.
Good evening citizens of woodland city! The Mayor had made a great announcement that tomorrow folks the high school students have decided to help the unprivileged in the community buy setting out free foods and household items.With that Aston had set off down the road seeing if the whole lottery thing was even worth it.
Christina lottery ticket for the past 2 hours,as if it was haunted or going to attack her.
"If you keep staring at the thing hon, it will eventually attack you" Her wife said laughing quietly while fixing herself a cup of hot lemon ginger tea in her favorite #1 mom mug planted in red bold right in the center, her beloved twins gave it to her as a birthday gift.
Christina scoffed.
"I'm just waiting, for the channel to come on"
Christina was determined to win the lottery even though she had a million careers it didn't hurt to win 100 grand as a prize.
Her wife had shrugged. "Alright then, what about the bags under your eyes?" Her wife Jackie had asked to sit her mug under the coffee machine adding a tea bag.
"I will not sleep until the channel comes on and the numbers" Christina said grabbing the remote then looking at the time on her phone
Only 3 more minutes she thought to herself.
As soon as the clock hit six she had turned on the Tv hastily racing towards the channel of the lottery ticket show. There were a few people sitting at a machine.
She had grabbed her red flannel blanket wrapping herself around in it desperately excited, she had a huge hope that she would win. but out of a lot of people she had lost some of that hope but decided to keep the positivity.
The numbers she needed were three, one ,five and six in order to win.
The host had greeted the contestants who were not on Tv while standing next to a woman who would be announcing the numbers in a few moments.
Standing there the woman had explained how she'd grab out a few pieces of paper announcing the numbers.
The Burnett haired woman had cleared her throat before picking up a piece of small paper out of the jar preparing to read."Here we go!" she said in a cheerful tone.
I'm prepared...
