Fate told me that if I kept my ticket, I would be in Los Angeles right now, making millions as America's Sweetheart on the big screen... However, if I lost my ticket, it told me I would gain something so much more valuable. I lost my ticket, lost the $300 that I had spent to get me from Seattle to LA. I lost my chance at fame and fortune and making my mother proud, but I gained friendships that have gotten me through the toughest moments and trials of life. I got Tony out of that one lost ticket, and he's worth more than all the fame and fortune in the world.
