The stream’s viewership hit 100,000, with everyone watching this disaster unfold.
My phone rang. It was Chase.
I answered calmly, “What’s up, lucky man?”
He shouted, “You were there when I bought the ticket, right? I won $20 million, didn’t I?”
I replied, “Yeah, I was there. But you bought a ticket for the 381st draw, and the numbers you picked won in the 380th draw.”
“I wanted to tell you, but you told me not to contact you.”
“Oh, by the way, you still owe me $50 for the ticket.”
The chat went wild:
“Wait, he didn’t even pay for the ticket?!”
“Man, if that were me, I’d want to disappear right now.”
“Screwing up the draw is funny, but not paying your ex is next level!”
Suddenly, Chase seemed to realize the truth. He yelled, “You knew the whole time, didn’t you? You just wanted to see me humiliated!”
He threw his phone against the wall, smashing the ticket machine in the process.
Though he ended his stream, others had already started streaming the chaos. In minutes, the video went viral, with over a million views.
Savannah, looking pale, realized her dream of becoming a rich wife was crumbling. She ripped off her veil and slapped Chase.
“You lying scumbag! I only stuck with you because I thought you were rich! Look at you, you’re pathetic!”
Chase’s mom immediately jumped in to defend him.
“You’re the real liar! My son spent so much money on you! Everything you’re wearing right now is what he bought for you!”
And just like that, Savannah and Chase’s mom started a full–on brawl. Chase, of course, sided with his mom.
Savannah screamed, “How could you take your mom’s side? You’re a total mama’s boy!”
“I can’t believe I was stupid enough to believe you won $20 million!”
Her clothes were ripped, and she looked a mess.
It was complete chaos. The lottery clerk demanded Chase pay for the broken ticket machine, the jeweler showed up asking for $100,000 for the custom jewelry that couldn’t be returned, and the Grand Palm Hotel asked him to settle the remaining balance for the engagement party.
Chase? He didn’t have a penny left.
Convinced he’d won $20 million, he’d already blown through his savings and racked up tons of credit card debt.
