Years ago that has altered the course of my life. God was sending me a blessing and I threw it away. It was a winning contest ticket that I toss and no one ever claimed the prize. It was for a 1 million dollars and I could have avoided bankruptcy kept custody of my kids, bought a house, but instead I live with my mother filed bankruptcy 2 times.
All because some guy told me the contest was over and I didn't realize you still had a year to claim the prize. The last few nights it's all I think about, I can't change it. I ruined my life all because some stranger asshole got involved. I was excited and announced my winning ticket. I don't know what to do to move past these thoughts they are tormenting me. I really threw away a million dollars. I keep wishing I would get blessed like that or better again, but it hasn't happened in 12 years. I wasn't even planning to play that contest which is no longer being held. I happened across it. It was fated and I screwed up fate. I just want the thoughts of what my life would be if I had kept the ticket to go away. I can't change the past. I really would have been able to hire an attorney and keep my kids. My son would still be alive, I might be a grandma. Just so many thoughts all because of 1 huge mistake that led to many other mistakes.

That's really got to be hard to have as a memory.
Just remember that the vast majority of lottery winners end up bankrupt anyway within a few years, and although that money would have changed your life style, you more than likely would be back where you are now, anyway. Money is not the solution to your happiness. Last edited by aberrationBP; Apr 09, 2018 at 01:33 PM. |

Something like that must be hard to swallow. Everything happens for a reason even if we don't like the result. You just have to believe God has a bigger plan for you no matter how hard the struggles can be.

Wow you really did shoot your self in the foot. Missed opportunities can be the worse memories to deal with. The others are right though money is not the magical solution to things, even if having it is fairly nice. You really have no way of knowing how things might be different though.

With all do respect, you learned a good lesson the hard way.
Don't EVER pay attention to what other people say.
