I couldn't believe I won. Now what?
Jackpot at Hindu Bob's
by T B Botts
What were the odds? I had dropped in to Hindu Bob's Emporium for a soda and decided to get rid of the two Sacagawea dollars that had been lounging in my dresser drawer for years. On a whim I decided to buy a lottery ticket. You can imagine my surprise when the night of the drawing my number was picked. Three hundred and twenty million dollars after taxes. What had I gone and done?

Writing Prompt Can you tell a complete story with just 75 words? That is the challenge of this flash fiction contest. Title not included in word count. |
Winning a large sum of money could be viewed as both a curse and a blessing. Your name would be public knowledge, and everyone who had a cause would be knocking your door down trying to share in your winnings. I've heard that many who have won the lottery wish they had never done so, as it had basically ruined their lives.
