Novel & Cerita The Lottery Audiobook

One day, half a year later, I went to the town market and passed a lottery shop. It was packed with noise. "Boss, give me ten scratch-offs!" "Ah, so close to the jackpot!" I stopped and quietly looked at those faces gone feverish over a single number. Suddenly, a familiar voice flashed through my mind. "I'm claiming this prize today. If you dare run, we're getting divorced!" I smiled faintly. Then I shook my head and turned away. That five million had once been Daniel Lawson's obsession and my nightmare. But now, it was nothing.

The cops won't do anything. "If it hurts that bad, why don't you jump out a window right now? Maybe you'll beat us to the prize." They strutted out the door and took a cab to the lottery center. Dad marched straight to the counter and shouted, "We're here to claim our prize! We're claiming 100 million dollars!" "What? 100 million dollars?" It was a busy weekend at the grocery store. People were coming and going nonstop. When passersby overheard the commotion, they stopped in their tracks, exclaiming, "100 million dollars? Don't tell me that their family hit today's jackpot?"

Phoebe screamed at the top of her lungs, causing everyone nearby to look over. "Those winning lottery tickets belong to me! That multi-million dollar jackpot is mine! What right do you have to keep it? Give it back to me this instant!" I smiled faintly. "You think it belongs to you? Is your name written on it?" "Why, you!" Phoebe was so furious that she was speechless as she glared at me intently. "Those were rightfully mine to begin with! You shouldn't have taken those winning lottery tickets with you since you've chosen to come back here!"
