Such was my dilemma. Until I played the Grand Lotto 6/55.
Everyone's been talking about it. A chance to become 333.5 million richer. Wow! I can't even begin to 'budget' that amount of money. How much should I keep for me? How much should I give a relative? How much should I give a long lost relative that suddenly appeared out of nowhere? And how much should I give to the poor? (I had to write that one in so that I sound more deserving).
Oh, the anticipation. It made me smile just thinking about it. Imagine having to buy all the stuff you want. Should I put it in the bank? Start a business? Or should I just blow it all away? Another wow and a sigh to go with that.
Try betting on the lottery. Just do it. Spend, say, 20 bucks and go to the nearest lotto outlet. Tell me honestly that you, even in the slightest bit, didn't 'half'-expect that your numbers will bedrawn and make you oh-so-rich? That your mind didn't do a little 'oh that's the number' affirmation while you picked your numbers one by one? Oh come on!
Everyone's got that little (stupid) dreamer inside of us that looks forward and says a (stupid) little prayer in the hopes of winning the lottery after buying the (stupid) ticket.
If it's any consolation, it gives us something to look forward to. The hours seem a bit more 'hopeful' compared to the usual dreariness of not becoming a millionaire anytime soon. The sweet possiblity of being a (stupid) socialite seemed to be right 'round the corner.
I did bet last Sunday night in the Grand Lotto 6/55 in the hopes of winning the ever-growing 333.5 million jackpot. I don't know if that's more embarrassing than the fact that I'm writing this thing while getting my toe nails done.
At least, I've got something to look forward to. So what if I didn't win? Well, at least I was hopeful for a day and a half.
But right now, I only have beautiful clean nails that I can truly look forward to.
