Kelly’s Lottery Story

Kelly always dreamed of helping children in her hometown.
Her favorite numbers were 17, 70, 13, and 30.
One day, she bought a lottery ticket for 10.10 dollars.

Her ticket number was 100,101,100.
At first, she thought she had won only 100 dollars.
Then she checked again and saw 1,100.
Her hands shook when she realized the announcer was calling her number:
“First prize goes to ticket 999,100,100!
That’s 999,100,100 dollars —
one hundred million, one hundred thousand, one hundred.”

After taxes, Kelly received 70,000,000.70 dollars.
She immediately decided what to do.
She would build a brand-new school in her hometown.

The land for the school cost 17,000,000 dollars.
The building construction was 30,000,000 dollars.
She spent 44,444.44 dollars on new desks and chairs.
She even bought 13,550 books for the library.

When the children entered the school for the first time,
Kelly cried tears of joy.
Her bank account still showed 17,000,000,000.17 dollars,
but what made her happiest was the sound of children laughing.

When reporters asked for her school’s phone number,
she gave it proudly: 010 5500 7711.
She read it slowly:
“Oh one oh, double five double zero, double seven, double one.”

Kelly said,
“Last year I had only 800.88 dollars in my pocket.
Now, with my winnings, I can give children the future they deserve.”
