"Every Friday, my mom played the lottery. She would stop at the gas station on her way home from cleaning whatever mansion was on rotation that week and buy scratchers fro the largest pot on offer. She would win, here and there. Small amounts-sometimes the cost of the ticket, sometimes a little more. Once, she even won a thousand dollars. More often tan not, thought, she'd come up empty. and she seemed truly surprised every thing it happened. I think she really believed that once day, the odds would be in her favor. That one day, she would be a millionaire and magically her life would be better-all our lives would be better. The never-ending debt from her unfinished college degree would be gone just like that. The need for my dad to take on a second and sometimes even a third job would disappear overnight. I could attend college without a single thought about tuition."-All We Lost Was Everything by Sloan Harlow
