Meg walked in to Carl's convenience store like she did whenever she needed to get away from her family. That day had been pretty good for her; it was a snow day which meant no school and no abuse from her "friends".
"Hey Carl" Meg greeted.
Carl was unresponsive, reading his comic book.
"Can I have some roll-on deodorant and a pack of Orbit gum" Meg asked as she set the items down on the counter.
"You're kind of fat Meg" insulted Carl, who was still deep in to the comic book.
Meg sighed and looked down.
"That'll be $6.50" Carl mumbled.
"I'm sorry, what" Meg asked, not sure of what Carl had just said.
"That'll be $6.50" Carl repeated, annoyed.
"All I asked for is deodorant and gum" complained Meg.
"Yeah, but business has been slow, so I added an extra few dollars" Carl explained, still staring at his book.
Meg sighed again and handed him the money, grabbed her items and started for the door.
"Hey Meg" called Carl, feeling guilty. "Here's a lottery card, you can scratch the little circles with a quarter"
"Thanks Carl" Meg happily spoke as she took the card and walked away.
"Hey Meg" Carl called again. "You're still fat"
Meg walked home, with her head down the whole way there.
A slew of Quahog residents walked up the street, facing opposite of her. Mort Goldman walked by and greeted her.
"Hello Meg" Mort squeaked "My, what a fantastic mustache you've grown"
"Hi Mister Goldman" Meg answered sadly.
She continued walking down the street, almost in tears.
"Hey there sexy" Herbert said with a whistle, walking up to her. "How would you like me to spot you at the gym?"
"I'm not a guy" Meg cried, running away.
"Damn, she's fugly" Herbert whispered to himself.
Meg run to the Griffin's house, sat on the couch and cried. She felt hated by the world and unloved.
As she wiped the tears away, Lois walked down stairs.
"Boy troubles" Lois asked, upset by how Meg had entered the house.
"No, I went to Carl's convenience store and he said I was ugly, then I walked here and- mom" Meg went on, as Lois walked out of the room.
"What the hell is everyone's problem" Meg yelled.
"I asked you what was wrong, but I lost interest" Lois yelled back.
Meg ran in to the kitchen and grabbed a knife out of the draw. She held it to her wrist, shaking. She looked around the room and saw the lottery card sitting on the couch.
She walked to the couch, still holding the knife and sat down. She held up the lottery card, which was yellow and red in coloring, filled with 45 circles.
Meg took a quarter from her pocket, which was her change from before and scratched off three of the circles. The three circles revealed three numbers. The three numbers were 6, 10 and 22. On the bottom of the card, it told here to visit a website to see the winning numbers of the month and claim her prize.
Since it was the end of December, the grand prize would probably be huge since it was a New Year lottery winning.
Meg rushed to her room to access the site from her laptop. She typed in the corresponding website and numbers that she had seen on her card to see if she was a winner. She had doubt that she had won anything because of her bad luck that had shown upon her recently.
A big window popped up and flashed the letters winner. Meg was so excited that she screamed.
"Are you dying" Lois screamed to her, from Stewie's room.
"No, I just won-"Meg said, before being interrupted.
"I don't care then" Lois shouted back.
Meg didn't care what Lois thought because she was 18 and now had money, but probably not enough to move out. Just as she thought that, another window popped up, shining the number of 15 million dollars.
She had just won an amount that would grant her a house, and the luxury of not working for the rest of her life.
Meg screamed again, even louder and danced around her room.
This was big, soon people would start treating her the way she liked.
