My Lottery Dreams

First let it be said that I seldom if ever play the lottery. I seldom, if ever get, to a casino to plunk a few bucks into a slot machine, even though that's one of my favorite money wasting amusements and on occasion I come out even or with a few extra bucks too!

But all that aside, even though I don't gamble much, I still have lottery dreams. I think we all do.

So if the money fairy were to show up and make a huge deposit into my bank account, what would I do?

Well a few years ago, I probably would have said travel around the world, follow a few of my favorite artists/bands and generally live it up.

Well that was then, this is now, as the old song goes.

Now I would find a nice one story house, become a crazier cat lady than I already am and generally become a hermit. I'd take a few trips a year, but mostly I'd huddle up in my nice warm house with my farm of cats and dogs and be left alone.

Yup, that's my dream and I'm sticking to it.

"I still have lottery dreams."

That's the whole point of buying a lottery ticket. And that's why you have to buy one the day after. So you can have a few days to think about how your going to spend the money.

My lotto dream has changed since a few years ago as well. It used to be "buy a bunch of DVD and bullshit, see my favorite bands in concert, and maybe make a movie." Now I've seen most of the bands on my shortlist and am not so concerned with buying every movie I've ever watched. If I had the cash now, I'd move to a nice little 2-bedroom house in Cali with an avocado tree and self-finance a movie. That would have to be a mighty big Powerball jackpot to do both, though.

My lottery dream is to win back all the money I've spent on lottery tickets over the years. I could probably retire on that.

believe it or not, I've never played the lottory. I've done a bit of gambling in casinos, but mostly just enough for a few drink or two... so no real dreams of hitting the big times
