“Ehy Bro!, we just found $20 on the ground! Why not try our luck in the lottery?”

“I don’t know, Nick. You’re more likely to be struck by lightning than to win the lottery. Luck has just not been in our favor lately.”

“I know, but today feels different. Trust me on this one.”

And that’s how it all started, me and my friend. A humble $20 bill we picked up from the street, a quick stop at the tobacconist, and yes get struck by lightning….

…No I’m kidding, but guess what? A few days later, we found out we’d won the lottery. Two million dollars. Jackpot!

Of course, after taxes, it’s not really two million. But hey, it’s still a life-changing amount, right?

So, what is the first thing that comes into two 23-year-old’s minds when they get that amount of money?

• Invest wisely?
• Open up some business?

Nah, too easy. Too boring. Of course we thought, let’s have some fun.

Step One: Vegas, Baby!

Impulse is the spice of life, and so we winged our way from Milan to Las Vegas.
