2 Lucky Snack
Gotta be conservative so I'll get this 1 dollar filling snack.
I walk to the counter and see old fashioned bullet proof glass containing holographic lottery tickets. Might as well try my luck. He see me and says "1 Dollar please."
"Excuse me... I'd like to... buy... one of those... holotickets... as well,... which are available?" I struggle because I am not to certain if I'm even saying what I want to say.
The clerk glances over with a bit of surprise but loses interest quickly and continues reading his holozine. "There is only two kinds, Million dollar lotteries for 2.99$ and Billion dollar lottery for 3.99. Suggest you hurry if your gonna buy one, in an hour they are announcing the numbers."
Holy crap that's almost all my money I'll be left with a single penny, I am so happy taxes do not apply to food and tickets. The million dollar ones only go to 5 million and that won't help me at all. What's left is the billion dollar tickets. Should I risk it? Like the saying goes "low risk low gain, high risk high gain." Okay fine I'll risk it. "Billion"
I purchase my filling snack and ticket leaving me a single penny to my name. I quickly pick the numbers 6.87.99.34.21 because that's what fate tells me to choose, just kidding it's because those were the numbers I found on the snack. The clerk says he'll let me wait in the store until they announce the numbers. I'm happy because it is already dark outside and earth gets cold at night because the crappy naturalist like keeping the earth in its natural weather cycle. I eat my snack and am satisfied with it because it's modified to fill your stomach with a single bar and it comes with two. I sit on a stool that's in the corner in front of a gambling machine. Now that I look around this shop is pretty small. It's like one of those themed for the 21st century. It's interesting. An hour passes with me trying to come up with a way to come up with money. I'm not really counting on the ticket; unfortunately, I just gave in to an impulse that struck me out of nowhere. In the past hour no one has even come in, I guess it's not that busy.
*3rd point of view
Herald, joseph's clerk, is reading his holozine when an alert pops up about lottery numbers. He likes to see the numbers because he hopes to someday find a pattern and predict the winning numbers. He hasn't succeeded yet but he feels he will soon. Herald glances over to the frail looking dude on a stool in the corner "Numbers are about to be announced." He thinks, "No response? Did he not hear me?" Herald stands up from his comfortable spot and changes the channel on the Holotv to the correct channel then walks over to the frail looking young man. He waves his hand in front of his face and yells "Dude! The lottery is on! Do you want to see it or not!"
Joseph jumps a little because Herald came out of nowhere. "Ok" He lifts himself up and walks to the counter and looks at the barely visible HoloTv and waits.
Herald looks at him and thinks "This dude is a bit weird." He shrugs it off and walks behind the counter and turns up the volume.
The HoloTv "Helloooo Earth!" Screams a plain male white anchor. "Today, we will do the lottery in reverse and start with the Billion Dollar Earthan Lottery first! Any applause" Applause come out of nowhere in screen. "Okay earth! Remember they don't have to be in this order! Here are the numbers on the screen to my right!" On a screen appears a number 87. "The first number is 87!" Then another number appears 21"The second number is 21!" The third is 6 and the anchor continues doing his thing. The fourth number is 34. Joseph is staring dumbfoundedly at the screen, his heart is racing so fast it feels like it will jump out of his chest. "And the winning number is! Drum roll please!" The final number appears on the screen and its... "99!" They continue but Herald mutes it because he can just read the numbers of the other ones. His prediction for this one was almost right he got 2 of them right, 6 and 34.
Joseph almost faints he can't believe it. Herald only remembers his last number was 99 so he tells Joseph "Lucky you, you have the winning number 99 it's worth 10 million by itself. The ticket reads your numbers and transfers it to your account if you won anything, you don't have to go anywhere." Herald doesn't attempt to steal the ticket because he knows that a bank account is fingerprint activated and it's already in Joseph's account.
In Joseph's hand the ticket brightens and reads "You have won 1 billion dollars! You are the only winner! Congratulations! Your money has been transferred into a fingerprint account with your name! Spend it well! No taxes apply!"

He yells in his mind "Holy crap! Holy Crap! I won! I fucking won! Take that mutherfuckers! I won a billion dollars!" He walks out the store and pings a flying taxi. A yellow spaceship like vehicle appears 5 minutes later and he boards it. This vehicle can fit ten people but it is for people who can afford it and now he could even have it drive him everywhere for a while. A thousand dollars per day no problem. The ship registers one passenger and says in a robotic voice "Welcome to Interspatial Taxi services. How may we be of help?"
"Take... me... to the bank." He says in a delighted but slow tone. He sits down on one of the seats.
The taxi replies in the same robotic voice "Very well." It takes off at an extremely high speed arriving at the only bank on earth, on the other side of the planet in less than 5 minutes. Luckily, it is so high tech that Joseph cannot feel a single ounce of G force but he wouldn't have felt it anyways considering his condition.
