This is for the Microfiction Magic Challenge. You can read about it in The Link. The Prompt: Write a micro-fiction story in just 50 to 100 words
What should they do?
This was a dilemma.
Should they tell people or keep a secret?
They had never had this dilemma before and it had only happened because they had been so desperate and just picked up what they thought was a note in the street.
It wasn't.
This was life-changing but it was not theirs.
Someone had lost it, and they had it?
The dilemma was whether to ring and claim the winning lottery ticket or to tell them they had just found it.
What should they do?

How do they propose the original owner(s) be located?
Woah, I love that. It takes the moral dilemma of picking up money from the street and blows it up to massive proportion!
I would definitely tell someone I found the lottery ticket...
hmmm, quite the dilemma. Well done.
Hmmm, what a choice! Great story, loved the creativity and the ending :)
intriguing piece!
Something to ponder! Great story, Mike!
Now there is a thought provoking idea. What would we do?
The longer I ponder your story the more endings present themselves. None will end well, great story!
I wish this would happen to me! Obviously you can tell my answer to the dilemma π
Great job β¨ππ
