Chad lost his mother at an early age. While talking on the phone to his father, chad lost his father in a fatal car accident. They were close, real close! Chad lived in southeast Arizona, his father live in the Missouri Ozarks. Chad became a recluse. The day he lost his father, was the day he lost his smile.

While getting fuel at the gas station in Douglas, Arizona chad bought a lottery ticket. Like many folks chad let the ticket sit in his old truck for several months before he remembered it and had it checked. That was the day that changed his life. His ticket matched all numbers. chad won millions of dollars. his goal was to keep his winnings a secret. He did not want the public beating on the gate of his small ranch in the Cochise valley, begging for money.

Chad began traveling by helicopter to the Tucson airport then taking a private jet to various destinations. He loved rodeos. He landed at the Sikeston Missouri rodeo by helicopter. He volunteered to work at the rodeo doing clean-up. The Jaycee members told chad that there was a rumor that Chad had arrived by helicopter. Chad told the bartender that it must be a mistake, wrong person. They all laughed at the thought of the cleaning man arriving by private helicopter.

It was hard for chad to remember that he was extremely wealthy. He would go to motel 6 and get a room then remember he had won the lotto.

He met a lady who was a bit overweight. Very pretty and personal but the extra weight turned Chad off. She was a construction laborer. She held the stop and go sign on the highway projects. He had not been with a woman for many years. She answered his ad for caretaker on his ranch. Sylvia brought in her RV and truck and lived on the eastern acres of Chad's ranch. After more than a month's absence chad returned to the ranch only to find Sylvia looking slim and trim, well tanned and absolutely beautiful.

The two traveled to key west, Florida. They then took a private sale boat down to panama and on toward San Diego, Ca. Sylvia always wondered how chad could afford the helicopter rides and the private Lear Jet trips. Finally just before they married, Chad told Sylvia that he was not worth four million. It was closer to 400 million..... Lottery III! I hope you enjoy it!
