Oh, the dream!

What would you do if you won the lottery?

Understand, I don’t play the lottery or gamble all that much. I know that the odds of winning a good sum of money from the lottery are really bad, and I maybe gamble once or twice a year at a casino, and it’s been small amounts that I can part with.

I know that I can get out of control with gambling, but I think over time, I’m out 200$ between my lifetime winnings and losses. The most I ever won was over 400$ in Las Vegas, and I bowed out and paid bills soon after.

However, if I did win a jackpot or even 100,000$, I would pay off any debt, give gifts to my family and friends. Maybe 2000$-$5000 each, depending on the winning amount. I would donate to some charities and the underdog political party of my choice, and then buy a ticket to The Netherlands or a Caribbean region country, get an investment visa, and try to live a comfortable and peaceful middle class lifestyle for the rest of my life. Invest and save a sum if I have any money left over. Of course, pay any necessary taxes.

Of course I’d buy stuff, and I have my eye on some pricy items. No house or car though.

Oh, and if I ever did ever win the big jackpot, I’m choosing the installment pay option. I don’t want to get too stupid with a large amount of money.

And the dream bubble popped! Back to a humble existence. ~H
