A story that clearly illustrates the saying Do not count your chickens before they are hatched

I walked into the gas station, my palms are sweaty. I used my last 10$ on a scratch off ticket. Nervously anticipating the results, I borrowed a coin from the cashier. Bazinga! I had won 1 million dollars! I immediately rushed out and bought the fanciest car I could think of! I also bought tickets for a vacation, and a house! The next day I drove to the center to get my money and I realized that after tax I would only have 700k. I had already spent the "1 million" I thought I was getting. I was -300k in debt. What do I do now?
