Lottery Winner Hides Identity, Starts Over
Mega MillionsThe Lucky Ticket
In the small town of Willow Creek, life was simple and predictable—until one fateful Friday the 13th.
Ethan Carter, a struggling mechanic, had always played the same lottery numbers: his late father’s birthdate (7-14-23), his own age (32), and the year his parents got married (1989). He’d buy a single Mega Millions ticket every week, more out of habit than hope.
That evening, as the drawing aired on TV, Ethan absentmindedly checked his numbers against the screen.
7… 14… 23… 32… 45… Mega Ball: 9.
His heart stopped. The first four numbers matched. Then the fifth. And finally—the Mega Ball.
$540 million.
Ethan’s hands shook. He double-checked, triple-checked. It was real.
But instead of joy, a cold dread settled in. His ex-wife would come knocking. His estranged brother, who’d borrowed (and never repaid) thousands, would suddenly reappear. And strangers—oh, the strangers—would crawl out of the woodwork with sob stories and lawsuits.
So Ethan did the unthinkable. He hid the ticket in an old toolbox and told no one. Not his coworkers, not his best friend, not even his dog.
For two weeks, he carried the secret like a bomb. Then, on the morning of the claim deadline, he drove to the lottery office—only to see a news van parked outside. Reporters lurked, hungry for a winner’s face.
Panicked, Ethan turned his truck around. He couldn’t do it. Not yet.
That night, he dreamt of his father, who’d always said, 'Money doesn’t change you—it reveals you.'
The next morning, Ethan claimed his prize anonymously through a lawyer. He paid off his mother’s mortgage, donated a third to charity, and quietly moved to a lakeside cabin—still fixing cars, just for fun.
And every Friday, he still bought one ticket.
Same numbers.
Just in case lightning did strike twice.
THE END.
