Landon had just left for his 12-hour shift, so his call surprised Brittany. “What’s wrong?” she whispered, not wanting to wake the month-old twins. “Nothing, babe,” he assured her excitedly, asking if she could check Saturday’s lottery numbers online. “The ticket was in my coat pocket. I forgot about it until I saw the winner was sold at our Shell station.”
He read her the numbers on their ticket. “My, God, Lan, they’re there. Only one winner — $3.75 million!” She started laughing. “Come home! Can you tell them you don’t feel well?”
“I don’t,” he joked. “My heart’s pounding. We’re freakin’ millionaires!”

A classic answer: “I don’t.”
Nope, he wouldn’t be lying at all if he told them he didn’t feel well.

That was a fun read, really enjoyed it. In all my enthusiasm for the happy, young couple, I forgot to mention that. Which doubly shows what a great read it was!

Woo hoo! I won a meager $400 once and you’d think I won millions for how excited I was… lol.
