It all happened in one day. It all happened to fast. The cars. The clothes. The new people. The lost people. The I don't care for you now people. The money. I hit the jackpot. I hit the 90 million dollar jackpot. 

I was reading the news paper in my daily coffee shop, with my daily coffee: straight black. I bought the ticket two nights ago. It was sitting in my purse in a secret pocket I sewed into it because of stupid muggers. Stupid Los Angeles.  The first thing I did was open the paper to the page with the winning numbers, took out my ticket and compared them. 9...9, 4...4, 7...7, 2...2. Holy crap. 12...12, 1...1. Last number. 17...17. "Oh my god" was the first thing that ran through my head. I remember it like it was 2 hours ago, because it was 2 hours ago. I remember I screamed I won jackpot. People stared at me. Many people ran up to me and asked me for money. All I could do was sit there frozen. I got up though and ran for my place that I bought the ticket at. The cashier was shocked. He called his manager and that was when everything changed. 

Here I am now. I just got ahold of my money; however, 60% less because of the taxes. So, I have $36 Million left. Still a lot. Not complaining. I've been thinking about what I want to do with my money. I have no idea. I've been told many things about my self, which I want to perfect. So here's my chance. 

I'm 5'7. I have ugly brown hair. I have an ugly hair cut, home cut of course. No make up because it's so expensive. Ratty shoes because I can't afford new ones. Disgusting hands because I never take care of myself. And terrible, old clothing. 

But now, I can afford it all. It's a huge life changer. People will start talking to me. I'll pay off all my college debt in my second year of college. Most importantly, I'll be a new me.

Tell me how you think it is. 

I'll be uploading up to 5 chapters in the next 2 weeks and I hope to have a lot of fans. Atleast 7. That's enough for me. :P

Stay Beautiful and Handsome!
