#826 When you didn’t play the lottery and your numbers didn’t come up

Don't play, don't lose

I don’t play the lottery very often, but when I do I’m pretty sure I’m going to win. I take pains to ensure all my family members’ birthdays are evenly covered as I carefully color in all the bubbles and then hand my sheet to the convenience store cashier.

Kicking cigarette butts and sucking on a popsicle while walking home, my mind wanders off and begins wrestling with difficult questions that I assume plague the rich daily. Pool or tennis court? Private jet or yacht? Tall, snooty butler with a thin mustache or fat, clumsy butler with a heart of gold?

And I think about whether I’d donate massive chunks of my riches to people who’ve done small, simple things for me when I was down on my luck. You know, a couple million dollar tip for the coffee shop waitress one day, a new mansion for the guy who slices my cold cuts nice and thin the next. I toy with the idea of stashing my cash in a vault and swimming in it like Scrooge McDuck, traveling around the world by rickshaw, or possibly just buying the Internet.

My mind entertains these wild dreams because being a dreamer is great fun. The thoughts are free, so I enjoy them on my way home, squeezing the ticket in my pocket, and then posting it on the fridge so I don’t forget the big day.

Yes, this little Jackpot Fantasy continues until the numbers are announced. And I don’t win. No, I don’t even have one number right. I’m not even close. I shouldn’t have played. I’m an idiot who just threw three bucks away for no reason.

But I guess that’s why it’s great when I don’t play, and I check my numbers, and sure enough they didn’t come up. Now who’s laughing? Me, the three bucks richer guy.

AWESOME!

If I won the lottery, I'd get massive plastic surgery to look like a duck

      1. I refuse to check the numbers if I didn’t play. I couldn’t imagine seeing my numbers hit milllions of dollars and I didn’t get a ticket.

  1. This post is so me. I always joke that I’ll play the lottery and win, but always forget to buy a ticket. Not much of a gambler, me. But, on the odd, twice yearly occasion I do buy a ticket, I’m certain I’ll win. Such fun to dream!

  2. I’ve always wanted to enter the lottery just to see what would happen, but the way it seems you either win or nothing happens, so I guess I won’t enter. Anyway, if I won the lottery and became rich, I would carve my face on the moon, so the moon would look like my face. Either that, or buy a grizzly bear to ride everywhere.

    1. OK, You have my vote as the next person who SHOULD win the lottery because you’d do something very interesting with the money! Your face on the moon?! LOL! Love it! There’d be a Max-in-the-Moon!
