Winning the Lottery.

In case you haven't heard, the prize for today's draw is whooping P130M! I know the odds of winning in a lotto is one in a million or so(I remember in college, we actually computed for the probability of getting the numbers in Statistics class), but it's the thrill of having that 1 nth chance to win :) I dunno, maybe it's just me. But you know or well maybe in my family, sometimes someone would joke that okay we'll do that or get that once we win in the lotto, but no one actually bets? But once you put your place your 6 digits in that card, you're actually a little step closer to winning the prize money.

After you bet on your numbers, you can now daydream of what to do with the P100++ M, like thinking of giving your parents the money for their house in Lucban, or giving money to your brother so he can go to London, haha, but that's part of the whole lotto experience. For me at least :) And I get excited and giddy, since I rarely do it. I know for me the lotto experience is for fun, but for most people, it's because they need the money.

I've watched a story before, a man won the lottery here in Manila, so from rags to riches, now he's back in the slums because he didn't manage the money well. Sometimes getting a lot of money that you didn't work hard for is not really a solution to alleviate someone from poverty. Hard-earned money is hard to spend, and I know everyone would agree with me on that.

Anyway let's focus on the happy thoughts :) *Positive Energy*

Whether it's really fate or sheer luck, that one in a million winner in tonight's draw will be sure damn lucky! :) Who knows, maybe tomorrow I'm blogging in the airport, on the way to some destination so I can hide from the media. *wink wink*
