The story centers on a father who, after losing his job and now driving an old Nissan Altima, is offered a chance to win a free Tesla through a simple contest. Though initially skeptical about the odds of winning, his child enthusiastically encourages him to enter. Another younger person excitedly joins in, learning they meet the age requirement for entry. Despite the father's reluctance, the group has a lighthearted exchange before he decides to stay behind to enter the drawing, while the others head off to run errands. The story humorously reflects on the slim chances of winning such contests but also showcases a moment of family bonding and optimism.
