Chapter 1: Prologue

Act 1: Holy Shit, I Won the lottery!

"Hey dude, it looks like you've won the lottery."

"Really? How much the prize?"

"Hmm...About 10 Billion bucks."

"Holy shit. I need to collect this shit."

I immediately grabbed the lottery ticket from the store clerk and ran to the nearby bank. My brain is already filled with things I should buy. Ferrari's. Yachts. Diamonds. Diamond Yachts. Shit, that'll be awesome.

I shout "I won the fucking lottery!" inside the bank hysterically. The prize is already inside my account in a blink of an eye. I grabbed twenty thousand dollars and threw each thousand on the street. People are crowding the streets to collect each dollar. The police even came, not for the money though. I ran away to my apartment from the police.

There was one downside of winning the lottery though. You'll get a call from like, everybody. I got some from my brother and also wannabe brother. I decided to get out of the country. I bought an island in the pacific and booked a flight in the next morning.

"Please fasten your seatbelt."

Little did I know, that was the last thing I would hear in my life. The plane crashes into a mountain. Or at least that's what I thought.

Act 2: Not so

I remembered that I can use Instant Order to 'buy' stuff. I grabbed my phone and opened Instant Order. I clicked water bottle and a bottle of water pops to my hand. I opened it and drank it. While drinking it, something just flew above me. I looked up in hope that it was a rescue plane, it's not. It was a dragon. A huge green dragon with the size of a tank scouring the sky just now. I quickly pocketed my phone and ran away from the tree. It feels like the dragon is following me. I decided to play dead. I dropped to the ground with my hand covering my head. The sound of the dragon is instead replaced by the sound of footsteps. I peeked through my arm and saw someone's leg. I looked up and saw that I kicked earlier. Did he save me from that

    Once the lottery players becomes a lottery winner, they will supposedly continue to play the lottery based on Durkheim’s theory. The winners will also not feel as content in life and will also be obsessed with buying things they would not have considered buying as a lottery player. Based on Durkheim’s theory, it is expected to already see differences in the wants of lottery players from low-economic and middle-class backgrounds. Only because the middle-class already has more money to start with, so they strive for more and can be less content in life than low-economic…

    There are several experiences in my life where I have felt that I was treated in an unfair manner, but the most recent of those experiences is the one that occurred to me only months prior to this application. Up until the beginning of November of this year, I used to believe that being a great and successful student would be the most rewarding accomplishment of my senior high career. As a result of this, I unwisely assumed that the most important thing in my life was how well I could do on the next test. I spent a meager amount of my time involved in anything else aside from my homework or studying; expecting to be fairly remunerated for a majority of my hard work. Earlier this year, I was indeed rewarded with an application to National Honors…

    So before I left to go on this trip, I entered the lottery for this miniature junior high called dutcher that is difficult to get into. We had entered before we had officially decided to go on the cross country trip, so I wasn't going to be able to go to dutcher. The odd thing was; I didn't show up to the drawing because I just figured that I wouldn't make it in, but the next day when I went to elementary school a friend of mine told me that I had made it in. This had surprised me, because normally I don't make it into these things. My elementary was a lottery school, and I only got into it because my brother got pulled.…

    “A handful of moments I wished I could change, but I was carried away,” are the lyrics that remind a lot about myself. Growing up, and even about two years ago, I was insanely shy and did not talk much around people, friends, or family. The way I talked to people was in a timid, soft spoken way, which looking back, was awfully embarrassing. My friends and family would laugh at me because I could not talk well, and when I did talk, they acted as if I were a baby who just said its first words. With all of that nonsense going on, their idiotic response kind of made me not want to say anything anymore.…

Even though we lost, that game showed us what hard work and teamwork truly feels like.…
