I Have To Spend $1,000,000 In 24 Hours

Welcome to the channel. Here is my story. I'm Mateo. Lately, my dad was having a hard time paying our bills. I started working part-time in a grocery store to contribute to the family economy. One day, while I was returning home from work, I received a phone call. The person on the other end of the line said, "I'm very sorry to bother you at this hour. I'm a lawyer and I represent his paternal grandfather." My grandfather was gone when my dad was little. They never saw each other again. My family never talks about my grandfather because my dad is still angry with him. "Is it possible for you to come to my office tomorrow at eight?

I need to talk to you about something important. It is imperative that you do not tell your parents about this." I thought about that phone call all night. I had a hard time deciding what to do. I was afraid my dad would find out, but I was too curious. After much thought, I headed to the address the lawyer provided me. Two lawyers accompanied me to a large meeting room. The younger of the two had a neat appearance; the oldest was the lawyer who called me. "Thank you for coming. Your grandfather was hoping to meet you in person.

But, due to the agreement he made with your father, he was unable to contact you directly," he said. "What kind of agreement? My grandfather hasn't even seen him since my dad was a little boy!" I said surprised. "Six years ago, your father and your grandfather met in this very room. That day was the first time they had seen each other in a long time. Unfortunately, your father refused to forgive his father. "I came here to tell you. "Let him stay away from my family and me," his father told him. His grandfather felt guilty, so he accepted his father's request not to cause more harm. "Then why does my grandfather want to see me despite his agreement?" I asked. "You'll find out soon enough," he replied.

The second lawyer turned on the computer. An old man appeared on the screen in a hospital bed. "Hey Mateo, I'm your grandfather. If you're watching this video it means I'm no longer alive. I would

have

liked to meet you, but I couldn't break the promise I made to you." "Your father. I've always regretted missing out on seeing you grow up or playing with you, so I've prepared a little game you can play after I die." Meanwhile, the lawyer's assistant placed a large briefcase on the table. "There is a million dollars in that briefcase. If you can

spend

that money in twenty-four

hours

, then my entire fortune - which amounts to a hundred million dollars - will be yours.

If you refuse or

spend

one penny less, my lawyers will donate the money to you. to charity. It's your choice." The assistant opened the briefcase. Sure enough, it was full of money! "These are the rules, Mateo. You can't buy a house, a car, or a business. You must get a receipt for every purchase you make. You can't give it away or donate it to anyone. You can only spend it on yourself. Also, you can't use your phone or go online for 24

hours

. Finally, keep this little game of ours a secret “Of course, it won't be easy to decide how to spend a million dollars on something like this.

But if you succeed, you will

have

learned to spend wisely. when you receive your entire inheritance. That is the goal of the game. Goodbye, my dear grandson. The lawyer stood up. "Your grandfather left it to us to determine when your 24 hours begin. It is now 8:30 am. The game starts in thirty minutes, at exactly 9:00 am." "What? How am I supposed to spend money today? Why?" "Because you're not supposed to prepare. Everything has to be spontaneous," the older lawyer replied. "Arthur... Sorry, I forgot again... Justin will accompany you. He will take care of all the payments and collect all the receipts for you." Within half an hour I was out with Justin.

As we walked, I thought carefully about how I could spend the money. At that moment I saw a car rental company right in front of me. Of course! They didn't allow me to buy a car, but I could rent whatever I wanted. I ran to their office. "Do you have a private car service?" I asked the lady at the counter. What's the most expensive car you have? Do you have a Ferrari?" "We don't have a Ferrari," she said, surprised, "but we do have a Rolls-Royce." "How much?" "Seven thousand dollars a day," she replied. Justin took seven thousand dollars out of the briefcase and said, "Here's your money." Could you give us a receipt, please?" My first purchase.

Only nine hundred and ninety-three thousand dollars were missing. We immediately got into the Rolls-Royce. "Your destination, sir?" asked the driver. A light bulb went on. "Take us to the most expensive hotel in town... please!" We leave and head straight to the hotel reception, "We'll take the most expensive room you have." It's very, very expensive, young man. May I suggest a more affordable room option? Although I doubt you can afford a deposit." What happened to this guy's attitude? "We want the Royal Suite! Just tell me what the price is," I demanded. With a condescending look on his face, the man responded, "One hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars a night, plus the deposit and room service fees." Justin took out the money and put it on the table. the desk: "Your cooperation is appreciated." I'll take the receipt, please." The guy was surprised, “Let’s… Let’s get your room ready immediately, sir.” It was almost eleven in the morning.

He was so nervous that I started sweating. He had eight hundred and sixty... There were eight thousand dollars left to spend. When we entered the Royal Suite, I was amazed." "So this is the high life? This is not a hotel room; It's a little palace!" I shouted. "What else costs so much?" I had to stop myself from reaching for my phone. Instead, I turned to Justin: "I wish I could search online." "These are your grandfather's rules "Justin replied. "I'm not allowed to give you any clues either." "I got it!" I said, snapping my fingers. "Let's go enjoy a fancy meal!" Our driver took us to the most expensive restaurant in town.

I ordered one of everything on the menu, hoping to spend as much as possible. Each appetizer and main dish looked really great, but I can't say I liked the taste of any of them That is until the dish arrived. The centerpiece was a colossal ice cream topped with more than ten grams of edible gold. It only cost forty-four thousand dollars, one of the ten most expensive desserts in the world! Time was ticking and it was worth seven hundred and ninety-eight thousand dollars. I needed to spend the next 20 hours. The worst part was that I had no idea where to go from there.

Of course, there were many places where I could spend money. I could go to a spa and get a massage. or even rent a yacht or a plane. But the paperwork alone would take hours. I had to think of a place to spend all the remaining money at once. As we continued driving around the city in our rental car, I saw a sign that said "New York Lottery." At that moment I had a fantastic idea. I could buy scratch cards with all my money! I asked the driver, “Can you pull over to the right side? We have to get out of here,” I turned and smiled confidently at Justin, “Get the rest of the money.

We’re spending it all!” Justin looked around, "Really? Where can we do that?" he asked. "You'll see," I replied. As we approached the lottery entrance, Justin knew what he was about to do. "Very interesting! However, you will also have to spend all your winnings within the time limit. You realize that right?" he asked. "I know. I'll make some money on scratch cards, but I'll buy more scratch cards with my winnings. At some point I'll have to run out of money," I replied. "Who owns this place?" I consulted. Five people worked there. An older gentleman came out from behind the counter and said, "Right here." "I want to buy seven hundred ninety-eight thousand dollars worth of scratch cards," I said.

Everyone burst into rude laughter. "Son, find another business to play with. We're too busy to entertain you," the boss laughed sharply. Justin put the briefcase on the desk, opened it, and showed them the money. They gaped in stunned silence. "But I have a request," I said, leaning over the counter. "We need to scratch off every card I buy, here and now. I'll pay you each $10,000 to close the day and help me. Deal?" The boss showed me the boxes full of scratch-off bills. "$10,000? Each? Whatever you say, but it'll take us a long time to cross them all off." Everyone except Justin got to work scratching off the tickets.

Nobody said a word. Only the soft sounds of scratching filled the room. From time to time, someone would break the silence by saying, "I have five hundred dollars" or "I have five thousand dollars here!" Before I knew it, midnight arrived. We were running out of scratch tickets. Up to that point, we had won eighty-five thousand dollars, which I used to buy more scratch cards. I was so close to beating my grandfather's game that before long I would return to the Royal Suite sleeping like a baby. at the lawyer's office at 9 am sharp. And thus, I would inherit my grandfather's hundred million dollar fortune.

Suddenly, I heard the lottery boss shout while he was deep in thought. This is the biggest prize anyone has ever won in my store! One million dollars! You won a million dollars, son!" My heart sank at the worst news I had ever received in my entire life. I was back to square one. I had a million dollars again. I had bought out the store's entire stock of cards. , Even the reservations in the back room. There were none left and I didn't have time to cross them all off. Besides, I couldn't risk winning another big prize with less than 9 hours on the clock?

In my desperation, I collapsed in. the corner of the store. Even Justin looked at me with sad and worried eyes. Fortunately, New York is the city that never sleeps. I'm about to give up yet, but it's better to leave it for the second part. Can I spend it all in one night. ?You will find out the answer to that question next week.
