If you're are like me you are at your local
convenience store, grocery store or gas station twice every week
with your lucky numbers in hand. I have been religiously playing
the same numbers for two years now. Although I know, the odds are
something like one in a billion of actually winning, its very
therapeutic to take a few minutes to day dream about what I
would do with the money, how my life would change and
who I would help.
First things first. Family. I would call to order a family meeting.
I have played it out a few times in my head and decided that I
would ask everyone to take some aspirin before I broke the
news. I wouldn't want to ruin the best family meeting of
my life with someone having a heart attack. I would break the news
by making a Jeopardy knock off game and give the answer "They
are the richest family in Tucson ." Obviously,
the question would be "My family" and then I would
tell them why. It may never happen, but as I said, it is very
therapeutic.
After the family is informed and the check is cashed, it's time
for my first good deed. I have given it some thought and I would
give one thousand people one thousand dollars. I would ask for
referrals from schools, churches and other community driven
organizations to refer one thousand people in need and I would give
them a thousand dollars anonymously. Although $1000 isn't a
million dollars, I know it would help. I have personally been in
situations in my life when $1000 would have fixed a lot or just
gave me a chance to get ahead instead of living paycheck to
paycheck. In fact, I could really use $1000 now. That's why I
know it would help.
I am still working on "Good Deed #2." What would
your good deed be?

Report AbuseI've thought about this one as well. First, I would buy a huge plot of land, and build a house on it for everyone that I know(everyone gets to live there rent free forever). This property would come w/ all of the perks (swimming pools, gym, basketball court, bar, club etc. etc.) Next I would buy a bunch of bikes, cars, boats, jet skis, etc. for everyone to play w/. We'd bbq everyday, and everyone could quit there jobs. I better win big huh???
