Axl does gamble if you read my first Fictional Axl Rose story. He placed a $3 bet and won $5,000, and walked away with $4,000 in take home winnings!He did a shady deal under the table.
"Axl's money was running low. Axl wondered how he could make some more money quick. He passed by a Convenience store that said it does Lottery. Axl decided to play 1987, the year he was from, 1962, his birthyear, 1997, his fake birthyear, and 2022, the current year. All straight. He went to a movie theater to go see a movie and have some popcorn and a Coke. After the movie, Axl went to a nearby Convenience Store and checked his Lottery tickets. 2022 came up, and it was a $5,000 winner! He was excited! He went to the Lottery Clerk who congratulated him on his big win. Axl thanked him and asked him for the $5,000. The Lottery Clerk pointed out that Lottery wins over $599 were paid at a Lottery Office or mailed in. He would have to mail it to a Lottery office or go to Lottery Office to claim it and wait 30 days to get his money and would most likely pay about $1,600 in taxes. And his identity would need to be verified by The Lottery Officials before he could get any money.
Axl didn't want to wait 30 days for his money. Not did he want to pay about $1600 in taxes. Nor did he want his identity to be verified. He was pretty sure he could land in jail in 2022 if he gave the Lottery Officials a copy of his fake ID. He asked if there was a way he could just sell the ticket itself under the table. The Lottery Clerk told him,"I'll help you out if you promise not to tell anyone what I'm thinking of doing for you." Axl was interested and asked what it was. The Lottery Clerk says,"I'll pay you $4,000 cash for that ticket right now. Please promise to not tell anyone.
Axl was desperate for money, so he promised not to tell anyone. So desperate he was willing to take a $1,000 cut from the $5,000! Still better than paying about $1650 in taxes, he reasoned. He agreed, and he handed the Lottery Clerk the $5,000 ticket and received $4,000. He thanked the Lottery Clerk and was welcomed."
