Tonight is the big ass lottery drawing! Yes, I bought a ticket (2 actually). No, I have no expectation of winning. But it is fun to think about what I would do if I won. Assuming I didn't end up one of those sad sack cases whose life is ruined by the money it would go something like this:
1. Freak out. Freak out some more. Compare my ticket about 150 times to the numbers online. Freak out.
2. Get paranoid... immediately find a safety deposit box and stick that ticket in it... after filling out my name and address on the back.
3. All the technical stuff, financial advisor, lawyer, etc.
4. Collect money, promptly disappear for a while.
5. Make a list of all my friends and family, and give them a million bucks each. Then tell them not to ask me for anything else. :)
6. Buy a car that is reliable.
7. Travel.
8. Chill out.
9. Still write my blog. :)
Yes, this is a boring list... but it's what I would do. My mom used to buy us lottery tickets for Xmas, especially when they would have the big ones... I remember getting a $20 ticket from her once. I always thought it would be cool to win that way. She would have given most of it to her kids, I think... I bet she wouldn't have even moved out of her house into another one.
So that's my boring lottery win. Maybe you'll see me on TV. And you'll think... dammit she's just gonna buy a Honda or something... what a waste! :)
