Divorced After the Jackpot,My Mother-in-Law Stole My Winning Ticket

I bit into a lucky dumpling during our New Year's Eve dinner—and my teeth clinked against a coin.

The table erupted in cheers.

Last year, my sister-in-law had won. My in-laws gave her $100,000 to buy a car.

The year before that, my nephew won. He got a computer, a tablet, and a gaming console.

So I sat there, heart racing with anticipation, as my mother-in-law beamed at me and made her announcement.

"This year, we're changing the rules. The winner gives everyone at the table a $50,000 red envelope. That's twenty people."

I froze.

Since when was winning a punishment?
