To say the Heck family always seemed to be on the verge of poverty was an understatement. Mike might have an alright job at the quarry, and Frankie helps with the bills as a dental assistant, but with their 3 kids and fragile house, the duo seemed to be in a never ending dept hell.
That was until one faithful day...
"Mom, why did you buy all this garbage?" Axl asked in his usual annoyed toned.
Sue expressed similar sentiments, "Yeah, you could of used the money to buy some more school supplies for us."
"Not to mention that the odds of winning the lottery are 1 in 28,633,528." The ever intelligent Brick added.
"Hey, hey, cut your mother some slack, let's give her the hope of winning big tonight, even if buying ten cards did seem a bit much." Mike interjected.
"Trust me kids, I KNOW I'm going to win, and before you know it, we'll be eating like kings under this roof!" Frankie reassured both her family and herself about her future success.
Later that night, the TV was on, everyone crowded around the small box, Frankie looking at her 10 tickets as they announced the numbers.
The host read out the following: "2, 13, 19, 22, 25, 42. Those are our winning numbers for our incredibly large prize for 300 Million Dollars!"
Frankie looked desperately at her tickets, "Not a winner, not a winner, not a winn-" She couldn't believe, this couldn't be real.
"OH MY GOD!" Frankie screamed, everyone looked at her, until they realize what had happened. Sue screamed with joy, Mike gave his wife a massive bear hug, Axl could find himself laughing, and Brick just stared his mom like his eyes were going to pop out.
Frankie's mind went wild, they could finally repair the house, her kids were guaranteed that they were going to college, but what made the happiest, they could the best meals imaginable! Should not spare a single expense, she wanted to have the grandest, biggest, most delicious meals for everyone, especially herself! She just knew to herself, that winning this ticket would have not a single downside to it at all!
