The Winnings

As I walked through the casino eager to tell Michelle that I doubled my $20, I hear my name in the distance and little do I know that Michelle only spent $2.50 and ended up winning the amount that would pay for a good used car. It was a surreal moment. The odds were against her, but we didn’t know any better because it was our first time gambling. As the lady handed Michelle 57 hundred dollar bills plus a grouchy (can’t believe you won) smile, and giving her an official player’s club card, our family exited the casino as winners.
