How to interpret your ticket numbers!

I think the same applies to my lottery tickets

I always say you don't pay the buck for a chance to win, you pay the buck for the opportunity to dream of winning.

All I know is that if I won the lottery it wouldn't change me.
I would be the same person I am today.....

Well... mostly. I mean instead of renting this house I'd buy myself a nice little 40 to 50 acre piece of land...in the ocean with a house on it. But other than that, I would be the same person I am today....

Well....I mean, if I had an island with a house on it, I am sure I would also have some nice resort style houses somewhere on that island. I would let my friends live there for free. The only thing I would require is that they call me, "His Majesty or His Royal Highness." I would also require them to go around saying how great a guy I am and how I am very humble. Perfectly humble, they would say. But other than that, I wouldn't change....

Except...If I had that island I just couldn't see myself living there without having some little guy with a cool accent informing me every time a plane flies overhead. However, I wouldn't make him call me His Majesty. NO, for him I would settle for him calling me Boss. I would have to buy me one of them little men....but really I wouldn't let that change who I am.

Of course, I would have a king sized bed (did I say, "of course?") with 100 dollar bills all over it...just so I could roll around in some of my money. Now, we both know I couldn't sleep in a bed like this, so I would have it in a separate room. Just a room with a bed and lots of money on it....but I mean, that wouldn't change me any.

One who is wealthy needs to be diverse. Not that it would change me any, but I would see placing some of my money into a gold investment. I think a nice bathtub made of solid gold would be a good and wise investment.

Everyone knows that if you have a small island home, you have to have a boat...you know, a small yacht would be quite nice. The only thing is it would have to have a helipad for my helicopter to land on. But none of this would change who I am.

See, I hear all the time how people would let winning the lottery change them. I figure none of them deserve the money if they can't have it without becoming someone they are not. Since the lottery wouldn't change me I figure I deserve to win that money.

It is too bad I don't win, cause we both know it would never change me.

Me neither, I'd be just the same old pain in the butt I am now, but I would be able to scroll saw year round in my gold plated shop on my gold plated ExCaliber or whatever fancy saw costs the most just so every one would envy me.
BS I'd probably spend half of it on fast women and great whiskey and waste the rest. LOL

Hey Gabby, hows about buying a BIGGER HORSE TRAILER with all mod cons cos I'm fed up sitting up front with you. Especially having to share the seat with an EX21 poking me in the ribs.

Oh, well ya...I guess that was just a given. Who in their right mind today wouldn't have a gold plated shop tomorrow if they won the lottery, not that a gold plated shop would change who you are.

Thanks, GB. The pic was sent to my Canadian friends. Didn't want to send it to someone in the US who didn't win, that would be cruel.

Here I was expecting you to recommend the best Scotch,
ya bleedin' Scotchman.

Are we having fun yet folks?

If you devour all that Scotch, that means you would be pretty smashed, so that would mean me having to run after all those B***DY horses. I would then have to use up all my NITRO SPRAY catching the darned things. I 'd probably land on my back.
Possibly with a "TILT IN MA KILT"

You have probably heard the story of the blonde who won th little lottery, only $30 million and went to the office to claim her winning. When told she would recieve her winnings over a large number of years she scream she wanted it now, but of course, to no avail. So in a huff she said.

["OK, JUST GIVE ME MY DOLLAR BACK."
