I'll never, ever forget this moment...

I had won the lottery :)

I thought

My head spun

Reality begins to kick in

Thin air

Then into

My hand

The prize was in

Five million notes!

I felt sick to the pit of my stomach

They were my numbers

I was certain!

My heart skips several beats

Staring intently at the ticket once more

Confirming each number one by one

YES!

Could I be wrong?

I scrupulously check again

Elation morphs into caution

I laugh nervously

No Way!

It's real!

I'm a Winner!

I'm a winner?

It's real?

No Way!

I laugh nervously

Elation morphs into caution

I scrupulously check again

Could I be wrong!

YES!

Confirming each number one by one

Staring intently at the ticket once more

My heart skips several beats

I was certain

They were my numbers!

I felt sick to the pit of my stomach

Five million notes!

The prize was in

My hand

Then into

Thin air!

Reality begins to kick in

My head spun

I thought

I had won the lottery :(

I'll never, ever forget this moment...
