This is a captivating read, draws the reader in and even, ultimately has a 'happy ending' which is not often the case these days!! Wonder what happened next ?

Well, I wondered where your story was going in the beginning with all the nausea which, I must admit, left me feeling quite ill!! But well expressed and quite amusing as well as she tried to read the letter. As the story developed the implications of the inheritance became ever clearer and, while, at first, pretty untenable, the fact that the two women had so much in common clinched the deal. This story was well structured within a very readable word count with a message that, with sufficient support and incentive, we can turn our lives around to help, not just ourselves, but also others. Well done and good luck! Debbie

That's me on the rare occasion I drink, which is why I don't now, lol.
I liked your interpretation of the scenario. The conditions of the will actually came from a positive place, which I found charming.
It's a good thing that I want to know what happens next. A sign of good writing.
The F word doesn't need a capital letter.
Good luck in the contest

This is a new version of From Rags to Riches or Out of the Sewer and into the Mansion. I hope it works, and she kicks the habit and helps others. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

This work has reached the exceptional level

If this could only be every addicts salvation, with 5.6 billion the character could open a rehab center and help other addicts, great story for the prompt.

"She had class, while all I had was a self-destructive addiction to bad boys, alcohol, and abuse."

Ouch! I felt this. At least I used to. Good imagery. I enjoyed the read.

It's sad to think that so many women may even need help. Equity over equality. That's the American way. That's the way of the world. Let's not even mention gender equality. Good story.

Wow, this is so good, and so deserving of six stars, but they are all gone. All I want to do now, is read more about this young woman. Is there more to read, an entire novel perhaps. I believe this story has enormous potential, both in print form and as a tear-jerking movie.
Judging on this, Ms Sullivan, you are one talented writer.

Very well written, engaging and engrossing. I am sure she will turn her own life around, as well as the lives of many others. You handled the prompt very effectively and I wish you good luck for the contest.

Well written.
Heck, I'd stop bingeing ice cream for five DOLLARS, let alone five billion. (Oh, BTW 'billion' and 'dollars' do not require caps)
She didn't want me to tell... - needs opening quotes
Do you think this is something you can do?" -m needs opening quotes
Tearfully, I answered, It would be my honor - lower case 'it'
Best wishes.
