Hello again!
Hi guys! I just got back from slipping across the state line and getting my lottery tickets for this week. No I am not an addicted gambler. I spend each week about the same as someone would for a "super size meal" at a fast food joint. I also get the tickets for my office's pool tickets. In addition to just the daydream of winning a huge jackpot, the daydreaming about what to do with the money is pure escapeism that I love. Yes if I ever hit it "big" I have plans for family, friends, trust funds, scholarships, charities, etc. But as I was driving back home I began to have trouble with my daydreaming. I mean in the past the scope of my daydreams involved what I would do with a million or so, possibly up to the forty or fifty million range. But now with the lottery jackpot up to 300 million (clear abot 100 million after lump sum payout and taxes) I was at a loss. I mean how do you spend a 100 million dollars? Spending up to fifty million is a fantasy daydream, and in theory possible. But a 100 million seems so unreal. Yes, I know it is a problem that the odds say I will *never* have. And yes, I do know that I could give each of you some! (lol) I guess the real thing I am wondering about is, is my imagination that limited? I mean am I so provincial that I can't dream on that gran a scale?
I just wonder if anyone else has thought abot this?
