It's time for Chapter 2. Yay! :)
Sorry for the delay. But this will be my update speed from now until June next year. So for everyone who likes this story, remember WRRDA, which means "wait, read, review, digest, and absorb".
There will be another guest star in this chapter, can you guess who it is?
"Coming up right after this break!"
Suddenly, everyone broke the silence at the same time.
"Oh, really?" Ravi started, "I have not feed Mrs. Kipling yet. If she cannot wait, I suggest that she should eat Luke first."
"Oh, dude, for my valuable lessons on sports for you, have some mercy."
Jessie asked Tony, "If we won this $90 million jackpot. What would you do with it? I mean, obviously other than save your grandma. "
Tony thought about it for a while, and finally answered, "Well, the kids are enjoying their summer right now, and you guys haven't had a real vacation before, so I think…"
Zuri interrupted them again, "Everybody quiet, it is starting again!"
"Ladies and gentleman, after the long wait, I proudly announce that today's golden ball number is…"
Everyone was getting tense, especially Luke, because of his sweat for his tension, now he smelled even worse. Everyone had different ideas about how to spend this money, but there was one thing that they all agree on, this jackpot is theirs.
The camera turned focus on the ball, and there was a big "5" on it.
"5! Congratulations to the lucky winner, good night!"
The screening room was quickly filled with the sounds of cheering and laughing, the room is filled with happiness.
"That was great, Tony. You did it at last. Now, use this money to buy some totes handsome clothes."
"Did you hear that, Chubbs? The Rosses are the winner!"
"I have never been this happy since when Mrs. Kipling was born."
"Tony, now Jessie is your lucky lady. I can finally sing this song!"
Jessie stopped Luke's singing immediately, "Everyone has heard it already, and you don't need to sing that twice."
At this instance, Bertram brought seven bowls from the kitchen: "Alright, I made soup for everybody for the victory of this lottery!"
Now there was only one thought going through everyone's mind: Oh god! Bertram made this thing, is that touchable? However, they did not want to hurt Bertram's feelings, so everyone got a bowl and started slurping.
"Presenting my soup a la carte. I put some spinach, tomatoes, sausages, extra rare lamb spines from Chinatown, and some frogs that Mrs. Kipling left in the plate during lunch."
After hearing that, the legendary "soup fountain" collided in the center from every directions.
Monday, the day for the lottery prizes. There is only one 7-Eleven that is close to Central Park area, so it was literally packed with people outside of the door. 8 A.M., people were lining up at the end of the side walk; 11 A.M., everyone was squeezed on the other side of the road; when it was 1 P.M., there were so many people that they need to find a spot outside of Fairfield building.
Jessie and Tony came prepared, they came bright and early at 6 A.M., but they still got stuck inside a half-hour line.
"Everyone please make rooms for each other, I do not want today to be a massacre again." Zack walked outside of the store and shouted to the back. Then, he spotted where Jessie and Tony was, and let them to line up at the front. "Everyone, they are the ones who won the jackpot this time, and we have every reason to let them line up at the front, right?"
When they got in the store, they thanked Zack once again. Zack began, "Do not thank me now, someone wants to see you in here, he will deliver the money right into your hands." As he talked, he led Jessie and Tony to a "secret entrance", he quickly put in the code and let them in.
Inside the gate, there was a strong and young man waiting for them. He was about thirty years old and he dressed very elegantly. He was filled with excitement when he saw Jessie and Tony.
"My name is Zoltan Grundy, one of the famous people in the lottery industry. First I want to congratulate you two, it has been eight months since we hand out this amount of money. Okay, back to business, it is my honor to present to you… your jackpot!"
He put the briefcase that was hidden behind his back on the desk. This briefcase, oddly enough, looked very similar to those used in the banks.
Jessie felt confused, "Where is the rest of the money? It seems like this briefcase only can hold $1 million worth of cash, then there should be 89 boxes left. I even considered about bringing the kids, so they can help with the briefcases."
"Oh, Miss Prescott, looks like you have not won a jackpot for a long time. This is where you get wrong. Mystery will be solved after you open the case."
Jessie and Tony opened the briefcase together, the only thing that they saw was a flash of bright gold. When they came back around, they found out a Visa gold card was lying in the case!
This is not just any Visa Gold card, this is the jackpot card that was developed by our company. It contains the $90 million dollars that you won. When you are traveling, all you need is this card!"
Tony soon found out some problems about this card, so he asked, "Mr. Grundy, this golden card is really going to worth a fortune. But I'm a doorman in the building and I can encounter several robbery within a week. So if this card gets stolen when we are not paying attention, what should we do?"
"Ah, this is the difference between this card and Visa gold card. This card contains an identification layer, it only recognize the finger print of you and your family. If the card pick up some different fingerprints, we would know it very soon after. And then you will receive a text so you can track where your card is! Oh, and one more thing, you do not have to spend every single penny in there, if you feel satisfied, you can call me anytime, then we can discuss about the rest of the money."
"Alright, Mr. Grundy, thanks again." After Jessie and Tony said goodbye to Grundy, they dashed through the oversized crowd and headed straight towards home. They know that, if they add up all the salary in their ENTIRE life, the value of the money is still far away from how much this card has brought to them.
Now, the jackpot issue was finished. The next important question is, other than the fact that it would be used to save Tony's grandma, what else would they do with this jackpot?
Hmm, Zoltan Grundy from A.N.T Farm also runs the lottery? Interesting!
The next chapter will be updated on the first week of November, everyone please WRRDA!
