Improvements

The doctors were observing considerable improvements as his treatment continued further. It seemed like he was full of new zeal and wanted to recover as soon as possible. The doctors were too happy with the improvements but they knew something more had to be done in Earl’s case. Earl’s excitement was at the peak when the winners of the lottery were going to be announced. Would his fate favor him now?

Announcements

Soon the winner was to be announced, Earl was experiencing mixed emotions he was excited as well as nervous about whether he would win the lottery or not. The staff always used to encourage him by saying that he was surely going to win. Earl too wished that he would win as he saw people were praying for his wellbeing and victory. But he often used to think if at all he won the prize what would he do with the money, but these thoughts were secondary, he had to win the lottery first of all. Would he be able to win?

Amazed

Finally, the day came when the results had to come out. Everyone was sitting on the edge of their seats when the team was going to announce the name of the winner.  Earl’s heartbeat skipped a beat when the results were going to be announced. For a second everything came to a halt when the result came out. Did Earl win or not?

Good News

The staff and the family jumped with joy when they heard that Earl had won $1,000,000. He was shocked and couldn’t believe that his fate would take such a U-turn when he almost thought that he had lost his chance of buying the lottery. He wasn’t really expecting to win so when he was told he almost fainted but luckily he was already in the hospital.

Luck

Earl was feeling lucky even when he was in the hospital because of this lottery ticket. Neither he would have gone out for that ticket nor he would have ended up like this in the hospital. But everything happened for a reason and he was grateful that the hospital staff had been so kind and thoughtful. He said while thanking everyone: “I want to thank everybody. I appreciate very much and God bless you and have a happy, happy long life,”.

 Unbelievable

He was discharged for a day so that he could enjoy his victory with his friends and family. But when he reached home and broke the news to everyone, the family thought the old man might have lost his mind because of his medication. Because it was unbelievable for everyone that he actually won that lottery. Would they believe him?
