The machine in front of me began to flash its indicator lights: "Congratulations, you have won the First Prize. Please take your lottery ticket to the designated location to claim your prize."
I froze, my mind going blank as I stared at those words, a single voice echoing in my head: "I won the jackpot! One hundred million!"

My fingers tightened around the thin lottery ticket, as if it were the key to a new life.
Joy surged within me like a flood; I desperately told myself to stay calm, but the overwhelming excitement was about to spill over.
Following the instructions for claiming my prize, I rushed to the nearest lottery center.
All the way there, my heart raced so fast I could barely calm it down.
As I entered the prize claim hall, my hands were cold, and my mind was racing with various possibilities—terrified that it might all be a misunderstanding while hoping that this incredible surprise truly belonged to me.
After verifying my ticket, the staff smiled and said to me, "Congratulations, you have won the First Prize."
My breath caught for a moment, and tears welled up uncontrollably, spilling over.
The staff comforted me while teasing, "Others come to claim their prizes happily; why is it that you, little girl, are crying from excitement?"
I shook my head at him, too overwhelmed to speak.
Having been adored like a star since childhood, I suddenly faced a huge change; everyone around me wore a different expression. Though I appeared calm on the surface, only I knew the bitterness and pain inside me.
At that moment, all the pressure, helplessness, and resentment were completely washed away by this immense joy.
"I have money now!" I shouted in my heart.
The process of claiming my prize felt like a dream; when the staff handed me the Check, I finally believed that it was all real.
Stepping out of the lottery center, sunlight poured through the clouds outside as if blessing my new life.
I gripped the Check tightly in my hand, filled with indescribable excitement and anticipation.
I could finally be that carefree version of myself again!
With this money, I could help my parents pay off their debts and let them start anew!
And I could continue pursuing my dreams and live the life I wanted!
I couldn't stop cheering inside.
"Ding dong!"
A ringtone suddenly interrupted my thoughts. It was a message from Zhao Ke.
"Hey babe, what are you up to? It's been a while since we last met. Let's get together."
Seeing this message, I couldn't help but sneer.
Flattery with no ulterior motive is either deceitful or predatory.
I didn't understand this before, but now I truly do!
Zhao Ke is a smart person; he knows my family's situation and is aware of my current predicament. By inviting me out at this time, he must be looking to see my misfortune or hoping to gain something from me.
In the past, I might have agreed to any of his requests without hesitation, but not anymore.
It really proves that saying: "Only after experiencing a disaster can one see clearly who around them is genuine or deceitful!"
I am no longer the naive, innocent, and lovely Lin Xinran; I am now the Lin Xinran who won a hundred million in the lottery!
I took a deep breath to calm my emotions and then slowly replied, "Sure, let's meet tomorrow afternoon at our usual place."
After sending the message, I turned on Do Not Disturb mode, not wanting to see his reply.
Zhao Ke, I wonder what your expression would be if you knew about my current situation?
