What would you do if you won the lottery?

Bloganuary 2024

I’ve never gambled and never will. I have no money to either. My dad used to buy lottery tickets, but he never won anything significant. Maybe small amounts, but there is no point in spending money on that. You need to have luck to win by chance. That’s what it is. I would only win in a dream world. I would use my concentration on something more likely. I don’t know what I would do if I won the lottery. You don’t know before you win.

I have no mortgage to pay or something I need money for. If I close my eyes and concentrate, I can probably imagine what I would do if I won the lottery. It depends on how much I have won. Some of it I would use for travel and for living. Then, I would give some to my dad. The rest I would give to charity. You know what they say: mo money, mo problems. Or it’s actually Notorious B.I.G. sang it. Money doesn’t make you happy; it only gives you people you don’t want to have around.

In a way, I already won the lottery, being born in a peaceful country where you can express your opinion without fear of consequences. Winning is more than having money, you know.

Bloganuary: A billion dream

Blogaunuary: If you had a billion US dollars, how would you spend it?

In my case, it’s in Euros. But money doesn’t make you happy. Having money is good, but having a billion would be a nightmare. Many problems exist worldwide, so I wonder if a billion is enough. It’s hard to imagine what to do with all of that money. Many homeless people would have homes, that’s for sure. The way people treat poor people is appalling. Greed is a terrible thing. Many problems would be solved if people with lots of money would give something back to society. Now they only use the money for their own amusement. Certain people shouldn’t have all that money.

If I had a billion, I would try to get rid of it as soon as possible. I would keep enough so I wouldn’t need to find work and have no money issues. The rest I would give to different charity organisations. One of them would be for cancer and other deadly disease research. The other would be for saving the whales and other sea creatures. There are so many ways to get rid of that billion. But there is no money, so there is no help. It’s all a billion dream, after all.
