After receiving the $10,000 in my account, I stood up and said to Chase, “Thanks, Chase. That’s the first time you’ve been so generous!”
He looked pained but still spat back, “Good. Don’t ever come looking for me again, loser!
“And don’t ever try to contact me. I’m afraid your bad luck will mess up my fortune.”
I nodded vigorously, making sure he saw me agree.
After Chase left, I told my driver to bring my Bentley around from the garage.
I’m done pretending.
That night, Chase posted on Instagram.
There were two photos: one of the lottery ticket, and another of him taking a selfie at the Maserati dealership. The caption read: “Just focus on two things: working hard and loving yourself. Luck will follow you if you smile enough.
I almost gagged on my dinner.
As I was about to delete him, something about that lottery ticket caught my eye.
The numbers weren’t fully shown, but the draw number was clear: 381.
But… the winning numbers for draw 381 didn’t match those!

I quickly looked up the results online and realized Chase had mistaken the previous draw’s numbers as the winning ones for his ticket.
He probably watched a replay or looked at the wrong draw number, thinking he’d won $20 million!
This was about to get interesting.
I couldn’t wait to see his face when he learned the truth.
