So yeah, I always told my parents that if I ever won the lotto I'd set them up real nice, pay off there house > buy them lakefront property depending on how much I won.
They take me to the Casino's up in Indian Country every once in a while and If I ever won a jackpot I was planning on giving them at least a third, because I love my parents and know they spend a hell of a lot on me growing up.
So this past weekend my parents go up to the Casino in Northern Michigan, I ask if I can come along, and they don't let me, I just got a nice job making pretty good money and I had a 3 day weekend. "Nope, we aren't coming back until Tuesday, you need to work that day." So I concede, and I'm not driving myself 4hrs up there just to waste $500.
Now, This morning I'm just about to go to bed when my dad gets up for work... and he shows me a picture... a picture I thought was a joke at first. He thought it was a joke when he first saw my Mom too... She hit the jackpot on Carribean Stud, a 5 card Royal Flush. She won $170,000 before taxes, $120,000 take home.
Guess what I get? Nothing lol. My 2k debt I owe them? "You need to learn responsibility." SON OF A *****.
They are actually going to buy my plane ticket to Arizona($400) now, but still... the only reason I'm still living with them right now is because I give them 1/3-1/2 of my paycheck every week so I can't save my own money to move out, which pisses me off to no end because they've already stated they don't want me to move out(Bro on the other side of the country in Arizona with my new nephew may have something to do with that ><)
The fact is, I love my parents and I'd feel like a bad son if I had won that much money and given them 4 times what I hoped to get from them. That is even $5000 to pay off my debt and help me get out on my own and yet I'd plan on giving them well over $20000 if I had won that much.
Also, Son of a ***** refering to how pissed off I am, I am not a literal Son of a *****, my moms great lol. Still a crappy situation
