Chapter 75 - A million dollars

If I were to win a million dollars how would it change my life?

I have been having dreams the last several nights about numbers. I have awakening each morning with a different number burned into my memory. It is as vivid as if I had spent the night memorizing them, a different two digit number each morning. So what do I do with them? I haven’t enough of them for the necessary six numbers of the 6/49 draw. Do I just note them down until I have all six, or do I find a game that requires only three?

Strange you say? Imagine how I feel. Do I take these as a sign? Do I listen to my sub-conscious?

I have never been a lottery-ticket-buyer or someone who buys into get-rich-quick schemes, but you have to admit it is intriguing to say the least. I don’t buy any tickets regularly, and I don’t want to get sucked into the frenzy of being addicted to lotteries. “Oh my god...it’s 8 o’clock and I didn’t buy my ticket yet!” is not a necessary thought for my over-filled brain. It would be just another item to put on my already too long “To Do List”.

But what if I am wrong and the numbers are on the next draw and I haven’t played them? Would I feel cheated, like I had somehow missed the chance of a lifetime?

What would I do if I won millions of dollars?

I know that it wouldn’t change who I am. I would awaken the next morning the same person – only it would afford me the privilege of writing full-time. I don’t even think I would quit my day job – at least not for a couple of weeks. I would love to continue working but have the freedom of saying exactly what I think – no censor. Wouldn’t that be a hoot?! I am sure they wouldn’t allow me to work with that kind of an attitude for much longer than a couple of weeks.

My friends – would my friends change? Not one bit, except that they too would never have to worry about money again. I would share my wealth with those who have shared with me, walked with me, and carried me. Where would be the pleasure in wealth if you could not share? We would have fun…lots of fun…worry-free fun, someplace warm with sand between our toes and umbrellas in our drinks.
