I've written one called "The Ticket". Basic outline: A young man named Simon (in his 20s) buys a lottery ticket and, while he doesn't win the huge prize, wins "I'll never have to work again if I don't want to" money. He and his wife are keeping it a secret until they finish making plans, but his wife mentions it to her mother.
Simon's mother-in-law is a piece of work. One who threatened her daughter with a spanking on her wedding day. Who is... well, she's not nice. Suddenly she needs money and the only person she can turn to is her daughter, who points out that the ticket was only in Simon's name, and Simon wants his pound of flesh before he'll give his mother-in-law the money she needs. |
