It definitely looked like he had missed a few meals and had a hard life. While she could not do much to help, she decided that she could at least buy him lunch.

As Roxy got into line, she pulled out her phone. She was going to post his photo on Facebook and see if anyone could help him. As she finished posting the photo, she noticed an advertisement for a casino. It offered 133 spins for a small deposit. Roxy hesitated for a moment. Then, she clicked the button. If she could afford to spend $10 on Pops' lunch, she could easily afford the small deposit.

She continued to play the game as she waited in line, but it did not take long for something amazing to happen. After just six spins, she hit the progressive jackpot. When she realized that she had won, she could not believe her eyes. Immediately, she thought about all of the things that she could do with the money. Then, she remembered seeing Pops sobbing earlier. She decided that she had to do something amazing with the money. When she returned to the table, she told Pops to meet her at the Burger King the next
