The winning lottery ticket! It was clutched tightly in Mariaโ€™s hand, the numbers blurring through her tears. Tears of happiness. Finally, her dreams were about to come true. She'd immediately thought of sharing the news with Chris. He was the most wonderful man she had ever met, and she couldn't wait to tell him. They'd been talking about a future together for months.

She rushed over to his apartment, the ticket still clutched in her hand. She burst through the door, ready to declare her joy, only to stop dead. Another woman was there, laughing and kissing him. The ticket felt heavy in her hand now, like a useless stone.
