Shellys Lucky Break

Shelly had a lucky break once She won thirty thousand dollars at a casino in Nebraska. It was not enough. A prime to her pump. She has been trying to do it again for the past fifty years. Shelly has never had enough money to buy a house. She has never bought a car. She lives with her daughter and her grandsons. She leased a car for a while. One week at a time, but she lost it. Where did the thirty thousand dollars go? She lost it to the casino the same week she won it.
