Number 4 (Unsure on what to do)

I am in Boston, Massachutes just leaving my Grandma behind in the hospital as she flew away to heaven. As i walk out of the hospital teary eyed and emotional a ticket blows in front of me, landing in the palm of my hand. I turn the bent cornered ticket over and i read 10 million, 10 million, 10 million scratched out three times. I rub my trembling hands on my eyes and take another glance. I have just wont 10 million dollars. Not knowing wethere to keep crying or jump in excitement i turn towards my mother. Mom i've won 10 million dollars, she replies " not now Trey this is a very serious time, we don't need this right now". But mom i really just won 10 million dollars, but she continues walking down the potholed, and decreped streets of Boston. It is around negative three degrees outside and im in shorts with a 10 million dollar winning ticket. As i walk, i'm in a mood that i will never feel again. My grandma who was extremely close to me just passed away, but i just won 10 million dollars. A couple days have passed now and since my parents didn't believe me the first time i decide to keep it a secret. It is the day of my Grandmothers funeral and i'm in a very sad place. This will be the last time i ever see the woman i loved so much, and enjoyed spending every moment with her. So as i walked up to the casket to see her one final time, i place the winning ticket in her hand. Giving her one last kiss on the cheek, i look towards the heavens. "Grandma your worth every penny of it, and i will never forget you. Even this day i keep a picture of her in my room, telling her how much i miss her everytime i get a chance. She was worth much more than 10 million dollars to me, she was priceless.
