Well, I don't want to go out again today, so I'll miss this week.
If it isn't won tonight, I may buy one later in the week for next week's episode.
I'm not a gambler at heart. I wish those well who try to win them, but somehow, I know
too much about money and that it really doesn't bring happiness so I don't rely on the
lottery "hopefulness". I know you'll laugh at the reasoning of that, but it is true that
most people who are vastly wealthy will tell you that they are not necessarily happy
people.
Just a million or two would be nice, though, wouldn't it? I don't think that would
"damage" my happiness that much! How about you? How much would you be
willing to accept as a winner?

200,000 so I can hire a lawyer to help protect my daughter from her dad (long story, he has a high priced attorney, absent dad 10 of her 11 years, wants everything his way...off topic). Then fly my mom to NY & put her up in a fancy hotel (she loves NY, we're natives) and give chunks of money to my kids. Also pay off my student loans, my car & some other financial obligations with just a little left over. I don't like owing. That's what I'd love to be able to do.
What would you do?
Have you ever watched the stories of people who have won super big? Most have tragic endings or stories.
Money doesn't buy happiness, but I'd just like a little more security.
