J
ake kicked. And...yes! He scored the winning shot for the school in the soccer game against another school! All the other soccer players, and some football players too, carried him on their shoulders, cheering.

His teacher came up to him.
"Jake! On top of being a soccer hero, you've got 99% on your test!"
More cheers.

When he got home, his sister, Andrea, ran up to him.
"Jake!! Jake!! You remember that lottery ticket you bought?!? You won $1000.00!!"
"Really?"
"Yeah! You're supposed to go to the Scott's store and show the manager the ticket, and you'll get the money!"
"Wow!!!!!!"

Jake leaped onto his bike, and in half an hour he was back home carrying 50 twenty-dollar bills.
"I must be dreaming! Pinch me, somebody!"
"Okay!" Andrea said.
"OUCH!!!!" and Jake woke up in his bed.
"That Andrea!!!!!!!"
