Had a day off work today, the sun was shining, I did a few chores and went for a walk to the local shops to get some vegetables and saw a sign for the lottery. Tonight there is potentially a huge jackpot. Now I did buy a ticket last week too and didn't get a single number, so why do I do it? Why, because from the moment you take possession of the ticket to the time you check the winning numbers - you can actually allow yourself to dream large as you are IN IT TO WIN IT - you can fantasise about having enough money to lead a different life, help out your loved ones and not have to do tedious work any more.
So if I win I might get what I actually think I want. The business, the lap pool, the dogs. Potential true freedom.
Come on Universe, give a girl a chance! But then every ticket holder is chanting the same thing, but you never know.... despite the fact that the house always wins and the odds are completely stacked against me, I could just conceivably be me! Wouldn't it be lovely. And that is how it sucks you in. Sucker being the operative word - but I am still just a little bit excited...!
