A Lottery Ticket That Bought Freedom

On my birthday, my best friend claimed she was a bit short on cash and gave me a lottery ticket as a gift.

I didn't mind at all. In fact, I secretly helped her out financially quite a bit and even introduced her to a new job opportunity.

Later, I discovered the lottery ticket had won three million dollars, and I generously gave all of the winnings to her.

Little did I know, she conspired with my husband. They snuck into my house and stabbed me frantically seven or eight times, all while raving madly.

"If you could give me three million, you must have won much more. How could it possibly be only three million!"

When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day she gave me that birthday gift.
