Mr Smith of the local newsagents sells hundreds of lottery tickets every week. It was on one particular week that he happened to sell to a few big winners one of which was me. I Veronica. I put my ticket in a coat pocket and for a few weeks I forgot about it. On the particular week in question Veronica had so much on that she was rushing everywhere and she had no chance to check her ticket until on the news it said that fifty million had not been claimed. She had no idea that her ticket was the remaining ticket, she could not believe her eyes when she heard about the unclaimed money. The big question was what had she done with the ticket as she had moved it several times since that fateful day? Veronica searched all the usual places she put things but the ticket was not there.
Veronica needed to find the ticket fast and soon or she would not be able to obtain the vast fortune she deserved and it would not be fair on the others who shared her ticket they would want their cut.
Veronica set out for work, she walked down the street as she did so she saw a lottery ticket floating and landing at people’s feet but every time she got close to picking it up to see if it was hers it kept being blown or moving on. It was like where it stops no one knows. Time was running out for her and she had big plans for the money. Luckily eventually the ticket rested and she picked it up and indeed it was her ticket. However this was not the best thing to have happened because her siblings wanted a share all the people she knew harassed her and wanted to be her friend.
People who had ignored her became interested in her this was all unwanted attention. (You get the picture)
What would the future hold for her? She pondered this was not the outcome she had dreamed of.
As the days and weeks passed things slowly settled and got back to normal for Veronica the harassing decreased and she was able to enjoy spending her money she had numerous shopping trips to the city she met a nice bloke who became her boyfriend they went for meals and to the theatre and bowling. The win changed things for Veronica but not in the way she expected she had a new life.
