For as long as I could remember, it was just me and my mom. My dad left when my mom was pregnant, and I could never forgive him for what he did to my mom. She had to raise me all on her own, and to make matters worse, she had a low-paying job and lived in a really bad part of town. Things were tough. My dad had abandoned me and my mom, and we were really poor. But then something happened that changed everything, and my life was never the same after that.

My mom and I lived in a single bedroom apartment, with mouldy walls and terrible living conditions. It was pretty bad. I remember going to bed on an empty stomach most nights, and for my mom that was even more often since she preferred to give me food rather than eat herself. I went to a nearby school, but the kids were mean and the teachers didn't even care about the students. Plus, I had to wear old uniforms that previous students had left behind cos my mom couldn't afford to buy me a new school uniform.

Life was tough, to say the least. As I grew older, I never really had any hopes of getting a good job, or making a lot of money, because, like they say, the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, right? But I was still going to try.

When I graduated high school, I got a job at a restaurant as a waiter. They paid me next to nothing, and my boss treated me really badly. My colleagues were fine, but I really hated getting up for work each morning. Life was just so boring and so hard.

But then came that fateful day. The day when my life changed forever.

It was a Tuesday evening. I remember, because on a Tuesday we sell tacos at the restaurant, and I was picking up an order of tacos and handing them to the customers. Finally, my shift ended, and I walked home. The restaurant was only a five minute walk from my home, so that wasn't too bad. On the way, I stopped at a convenience store. The cashier greeted me as I walked in.

"Hey there, Adam." said the cashier. We knew each other since I had grown up in this apartment ever since I was a little kid.

"Hey, Tom." I replied. "Got any chocolate nuts?"

"Oh! Sorry, we sold out of those. But listen, there's a lottery going on tonight. They're announcing the winners on TV. You should buy a lottery ticket! You never know - you might win!"

"Oh, I don't know, Tom." I said. "I don't really wanna waste my money. I have little enough as it is."

"Adam, I have a feeling you're gonna be lucky tonight." said Tom. "Tell you what, you can have a lottery ticket on the house."
