Bowser Jr.'s Lottery Win
It's a beautiful day at Bowser's Castle where Bowser Jr. is holding a special ticket for a lottery. Bowser came to him and said, "Hey, son. What are you holding?"
"I'm holding a ticket for tonight's lottery drawing," Bowser Jr. replied, "The top prize is 1,000,000 coins and I can't wait to see which numbers the machine will draw tonight. If I win, I'll be a very happy Koopa!"
"I see. Well, I wish you luck in tonight's draw." Bowser said as he left the room.
That night, Bowser Jr. is in his room, waiting for the draw to start on his television. He smiled to himself and said, "Well, this is it! Only one more minute until the lottery starts and I'm just six numbers away from becoming Mushroom Kingdom's newest millionaire. I hope this ticket will give me the win!"
Just then, the Toad announcer came on and said, "Good evening, Mushroom Kingdom! Get out your tickets because it's time for the Mushroom Kingdom Lotto draw and the balls are all mixed up and ready to go. The grand prize for matching all six numbers is 1,000,000 coins and in the next minute, someone could be a millionaire. Good luck! And the winning numbers tonight are..."
"Here we go!" Bowser Jr. said as the draw began with the first number out.
"22..."
Jr. smiled as he got the first number right.
"10..."
His luck continued on as the third number is out.
"4..."
So far, Bowser Jr. has three correct. He is halfway to the money.
"20..."
Now Bowser Jr. has four correct numbers on his ticket. Two more and the grand prize will be his.
"7..."
It all comes down to this. Bowser Jr. is just one away from winning 1,000,000 coins as the machine is ready to draw the deciding number. The room fell silent as the announcer said, "And the final number in tonight's draw is..."
Bowser Jr. looked at the TV very closely as the final number came out of the machine. The announcer looked at it and then...
The number has been revealed.
"1!"
After that, the screen then shows the six winning numbers: 22, 10, 4, 20, 7, and 1. Bowser Jr. checked his ticket and it shows that he has matched all six numbers correctly. Bowser Jr. froze for a moment, took a deep breath and then...
It's official.
"I have all six numbers. I won... I WON!"
Bowser Jr. jumped for joy when he spun in his shell for his victory. Then Bowser came in and said, "What's going on, son?"
"I've won the lottery, dad!" Bowser Jr. replied, "I have the winning ticket!"
Bowser looked at his son's ticket and said, "Wow! That means you've won 1,000,000 coins! Congratulations, son! I think this calls for some fireworks in honor of your victory! Shall we do it?"
"YES!" Bowser Jr. replied with a big smile.
"Then let's go! Fire the Fireworks Cannon, son!"
"With pleasure, dad!" Bowser Jr. said with a thumbs up.
Then he ran to the cannon, pushed the button and then, fireworks came out as the sky is full of beautiful fireworks. What a lucky day for the Koopa Prince.
