The Magic of a Lottery ticket

         School! Is what you need to have everything you want! Not cheating your way into having everything you want said Johnny “I mean there’s not any other way, is there? And since I’m in Chicago Illinois I can live my life in the place I love… my hometown.”
         He went to the store to see what he can get to eat, so he can think about things. He’s thinking of cheating his way into getting the things he wants for example, some Jordan shoes, Glasses, Cars, Foods, Clothes, Accessories. “All that kind of stuff is hard to get because you have to work for it,” he said. Instead he just wants something that would maybe help him get everything he wants. He thinks it’s a good way of getting it but then again he wants to earn everything the right way. (Time Passes) He leaves back home, then he sees his friend leaving with a piece of paper. He says “Wassup man, how you been?” His friend Trey answered with, “Wassup man, I’ve been great! I just got me a lottery ticket.”  He looks at him with a confused face, and then he says “A lottery ticket? What is that?” Trey said, “It’s a gambling game where mostly all of the people in the U.S. play, if you get lucky and your number gets called then you get what you wanted mostly in the world.” He stays in shock and say’s bye to his friend trey. (He goes to the store) 
         He’s at the store and asks for a lottery ticket and gives the man the number of 21-44-36-27-11. He goes home and goes to sleep for a while. He wakes up and goes to the living room and the news is on, and his mom is there so they call the lottery ticket number and the numbers are 21-44-36-27… and he looks at his ticket with great suspense and thinks if I win this, I am very lucky. (They say the number) 11. Johnny jumps up with a surprise in his face and tells his mom, “Mom! I won the lottery ticket” (They both scream and act dumb) Before Johnny leaves to get his money ($10,000,000) he tells his mom, to not tell anyone that he won it since he leaves in a poor neighborhood.  The first thing she does is to go and get the telephone to call her “momma”, and tells her “Momma! My boy won the lottery ticket for $10,000,000 isn’t that great?” Her momma gets excited and goes tell some people in the neighborhood since they live in the same place. Johnny’s mother screams and tells everybody, “Hey! Everybody! Come here! Guess what! ‘My little boy won the lottery ticket suckas’”  Alexander was there and heard he won the 10 million dollar lottery, so he had plans on how to take the money away from him for now he went with his girlfriend to take a walk. She tells him, “Alexander I’m seeing someone else now, his name is Johnny” Alexander answers, “What? My brother” She answers with, “yes I’m sorry I hope you can understand. (He stops and thinks) “I’m getting sick and tired of Johnny being more successful than I am, I’m thinking of taking the money away from him, should I? Is it the right thing to do?” Alexander said
         (Meanwhile) Johnny is having the time of his life, getting everything he wants. He thinks he doesn’t need anyone because he is doing just fine without his friends since he has everything he wants. He gets his shoes; he’s food, his accessories, his clothes, or anything he wants. His friends ask him if they can talk or hang out anytime soon, and he doesn’t care because he just wants to get what he wants.  He goes back home and everybody in the apartments were waiting for him till he got back because his mother had to tell him things.  She says, “Johnny, what’s wrong with you now? You’re not the same anymore son.” Johnny says, “Mom, shut up I haven’t changed any bit.” The mom stands in shock and says, “Son did you just tell me to shut up?”  Alexander comes and looks for Johnny to talk to him seriously, but then he sees his brother Johnny and his mother talking and just stands there and looks. There are many people too, so he can watch what was happening . (The neighbors and Alexander what they’re doing) Johnny stands and says, “Yes I did so what? You aren’t going to do nothing anyways.” (He grabs her face and pushes her, making her fall down on the concrete).  It was a scary time at that point, everybody was looking at him with fear, anger, and hate… it was like a terrifying movie where someone gets hurt kind of moment, for his mother and everybody else.  Alexander came and saw his mother get hurt by his brother. He runs to Johnny and asks, “Why are you doing this Johnny?” Johnny responds and says, “Why do you care? You don’t have anything in the world!” Alexander stands with a frowned face and answers, “That is true Johnny, but do you know what I have that you don’t have anymore?” Johnny answers, “What?” Alexander responded, “Unlike you I care about the people I care about even though I don’t have much to give them like you do, but I have a heart and care towards the people I love and would never trade that for money like you did.”  Johnny stands in great thought and thinks about what he has done. Johnny says, “Well… I can’t do anything anymore since everybody probably hates me now for the trouble I gave them.”
         Alexander looks at him and puts his hand on his shoulder and tells him, “It’s never too late to do the right thing Johnny.” He goes to the many people he had told many hurtful things to. He tells everybody “I’m sorry for what I’ve done” (Everybody forgives him for what he’s done) He calls his mom to tell her that he is going give her the money so she can do the whatever she wants with whether the money is for her-self or other people. She decides to keep some of the money so Alexander and Johnny and her can have donates the money to people who really need it, and thinks it’s a good way of using the money.  He goes back home and tells everybody how sorry he is about what he’s done, and goes with the family to enjoy the time they have together since they’re not always going to be there when they need it.
