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.
