I think I can safely say that I am among the millions that buy lottery tickets specifically playing the powerball. As the economy slows down and people either lose their jobs or can't find jobs, the more people look to lottery tickets. Wouldn't it be great to say money didn't matter and we would just want to live simply? That is not the case. With each ticket that didn't strike it big, the hope remains that we would have an easier life if only the next would pan out. I can speak for myself that a couple of bucks here or there is worth it. The lottery is a fantasy just something else to keep our mind away from our struggles. It is a pretty fantasy eh?
Points to consider.
How one would manage the winnings?
What about family and friends? They could always change.
Money is a powerful thing and some are not ready to handle that conflict.
Many cannot even budget what they have now let alone millions.
Usually the first thing people do is pay for debts. The lottery is a means to be debt free. At least being able to live without worrying about money.
What about donations to charities?
What about the constant fear of someone not loving or caring about you because of your money?
Would you fear your own mortality with such a large sum attached to you?
Money is a scary powerful thing. Changing lives and destroying lives. This piece of hope can swing either way. Be careful which way the pendulum swings.
