On the particular week in question Veronica\nhad so much on that she was rushing everywhere and she had no chance to check\nher ticket until on the news it said that fifty million had not been claimed.\nShe had no idea that her ticket was the remaining ticket, she could not believe\nher eyes when she heard about the unclaimed money. The big question was what had\nshe done with the ticket as she had moved it several times since that fateful\nday? Veronica searched all the usual places she put things but the ticket was\nnot there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Veronica needed to find the ticket fast and soon or she would\nnot be able to obtain the vast fortune she deserved and it would not be fair on\nthe others who shared her ticket they would want their cut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Veronica set out for work, she walked down the street as she\ndid so she saw a lottery ticket floating and landing at people\u2019s feet but every\ntime she got close to picking it up to see if it was hers it kept being blown\nor moving on. It was like where it stops no one knows. Time was running out for\nher and she had big plans for the money. Luckily eventually the ticket rested\nand she picked it up and indeed it was her ticket. However this was not the\nbest thing to have happened because her siblings wanted a share all the people\nshe knew harassed her and wanted to be her friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who had ignored her became interested in her this was\nall unwanted attention. (You get the picture) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What would the future hold for her? She pondered this was not\nthe outcome she had dreamed of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the days and weeks passed things slowly settled and got\nback to normal for Veronica the harassing decreased and she was able to enjoy\nspending her money she had numerous shopping trips to the city she met a nice\nbloke who became her boyfriend they went for meals and to the theatre and\nbowling. The win changed things for Veronica but not in the way she expected\nshe had a new life. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mr Smith of the local newsagents sells hundreds of lottery tickets every week.
