I Won The Lottery

Welcome to Fantasy Island A fantasy filled with such vivid
details that I have to share them with you I know that you have
your own lottery fantasies but bear with me, while I reveal mine
Let me set the scene I am at home on a late work-week day I
have put my son to sleep and going through my nightly
“get-ready-for-work” routine I check my wallet to see, if I
have enough cash for the next day and I notice that I have a
lottery ticket from last week that I never checked I decide to
check it, while I am checking my email I bring up the Maryland
lottery website and navigate my way to the Mega Millions winning
numbers section I start checking the numbers
OneTwoThreeFourFiveSix I have hit the jackpot!
Thump This is the sound of me fainting After I wake up, I
wonder, if it was all a dream To my delight, I realize that I
am a multi-millionaire
Here is my plan I go to sleep without uttering a word to my
husband No, this is not for the reason that you think – I want
to surprise him The next morning, I phone the office and ask
for the day off I get dressed, as if I am going to work, kiss
my husband and son I am off
Rather than going to work, I head in the direction of the
Maryland Lottery redemption office in Baltimore I make the long
hour and a half drive with a big smile on my face When I get to
the lottery office, I inquire about where to redeem my ticket
and I am led in the right direction The redemption officer
verifies that I have indeed won $10 million dollars He tells me
when my check will be deposited into my account and asks me, if
I want my name to be released as a lottery winner “Nope” I
state flatly and dash to my car
On my way home, I stop and get a bottle of champagne, Krug 1988,
a very good year Nothing but the best When I get home, I take
a long leisurely bath, sip my champagne and read a tantalizing
issue of Travel and Leisure magazine
After my bath, I call the local luxury car dealership and order
my husband a Ferrari F430 Spider Nice – eh? I present this to
him as a surprise when he gets home from work I also order
first class tickets to Hawaii for a one month stay Of course,
we book only the best hotels Next, comes the one month holiday
to Bora Bora and Fiji After all, we need relaxing vacations to
determine how to share our new found wealth with our family and
friends I will not elaborate on the sharing part because this
is a fantasy not math class By the way, did I mention that I
get a matching Ferrari F430 Spider for myself too?
Ahwhat a life
Alas, reality rears its ugly head and I realize that I have to
go back to work on Monday
Until all our fantasies come true, I wish you good health and
peace Keep your debts low, learn ways to make extra
money and save money I look forward to getting my check in
the mail, when you win the lottery I have no doubt you will let
me know
