What a great day today! I spent the entire day driving around the area enjoying the good weather. Who didn’t? I bet people called off work and even took the day off from school. What’s my story? I don’t work, so I really didn’t have anything else to do. I’d sure love to spend my life talking about the lottery but that’s not really going to pay the bills now will it? Well, if I win the big one and buy air time to talk about it or start my own business, radio station… ok, maybe not, but at least i’d be richer. Where exactly was I driving? Driving around from Dearborn all the way to Ann Arbor day dreaming about houses I can one day buy with my winnings.
Sound crazy? Any sane logical person will think I’m crazy, but I believe that the Michigan Mega Millions is a part of me. A part of me that helps me get through the day. I’m one of hundreds of thousands of people who think they have a shoot. A dollar every drawing not only gives you a chance to win millions and change your life, but it gives you hope. The hope that gets you through the day. The dream that makes that yelling boss and incompetent co-workers go in one ear and out the other. This is what my theory comes down too.
The dollar for a day or 2 of feeling invincible theory.
What exactly is this theory? This theory is that for only a dollar until the next lottery drawing, you can feel as if nothing can touch you. That nothing else matters. Who cares if people yell at you all day at work, if customers treat you like dirt when your forced to put on a smile or lose the job you hate but need, who cares if your boss thinks you are a screw up 24/7 even though he couldn’t do your days work in a month. Who cares about that big credit card bill looming over your head that you needed to pay a crooked mechanic so you can get to the job you hate to pay it off and one day retire. This theory keeps every one of those people that just have a horrible job and a horrible life and gives them hope. They feel that nothing can hurt them because if they win multi-millions, then they can get out of their rut and finally live life in retirement or go to college and find a job you’d love to come in to everyday. You’d have the money to spend a sunny weekday in the summer without a cloud in the sky driving around in your car or on a beach while everybody else is at work. This theory is what I hold to be true to myself. I feel for only a dollar every drawing, my life’s worries go away. That’s not to say I sit there and day dream, i’m still applying for jobs, looking for work and making things stay together, but it’s that dollar that makes it bearable to go day to day.
Just a theory of mine. Most people buy it to retire or just go in on an office pool for fun and never expect anything. Some just don’t bother spending a dime thinking it’s a waste of time. To a lot, that’s true. To me, it’s life. Not an addictive life, more of a hobby. To try out all the lottery games that are offered in Michigan. Ok, I think I may of went overboard with the millionaire raffle, that was a problem!! Big problem. But now I can only not do it again and just hope I win.
In other news, I finally picked up my 3rd losing Red Wings scratch and win ticket. Send 3 in and you can be entered in a drawing to win a chance at a dream trip grand prize or 47″ LCD TV grand prize. I’m currently going to stuff it in the envelope and hope I get something out of the drawing.
The drawing tonight is for 19 million. So get your dollars handy and go out and buy a mega millions ticket today!! The pot will grow the more tickets we buy. A waste you say? Well pfft on you guys then! What kind of lottery fanatics are you sitting there and not helping the pot raise up higher? 19 mill is a lot of money still!! If you need at least 300 million dollars to think about spending a dollar then I almost question …..how fast you’d blow through a small jackpot of 19 million?
