Short Story Plot

The exposition of my story will be about characters and setting. The characters are Matt, Jane, and their kids James and Sarah. They are a lower middle class family that lives in a very small home. Matt and Jane work seven days a week at there convenience store called, Johnson's Market. On weekends the kids help work at the store bagging and restocking shelves.
The rising action is when the store burns down unfortunately. They are deeply saddened about this and are forced to move into an apartment because their house was foreclosed. But the family never gives up. Matt gets a job at the local butcher shop. And Jane got a job as a cake decorator.
The climax is when one day after work he stopped to get gas and went inside to get a Powerball ticket. Because the jackpot was at 600 million.That night he looked at the winning numbers and he won! His numbers were 3,8,19,25,38,and 18 as the Powerball.
The falling action is that he buys things lavishly. Because he had never been had a lot of money he never had save money before so. He bought a Lamborghini, a Viking yacht, a condo in Florida, and could fit his family. After a couple of years of lavishly spending his bank account became low and ran out of money. So he was forced to sell all of his things that he got and with that money he reopened their store.
The resolution was that he had to pay a very big price for not saving his money. But when he reopened the store he started to save up money for James and Sarah's college fund.
