The time when I didn’t win $100 million…

I have to say that apart from that one time in kindergarten where I won the coveted Easter raffle, I have never really had luck on my side. My scratchies never contain any winnings and my horse has NEVER been the winner in our annual family Melbourne Cup sweep. You’d think that having Irish in my blood, things would be different. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case.

 I, along with the rest of Australia, held my breath on Tuesday as I waited for my numbers to pop up in the $100 million lotto draw. Sadly, it wasn’t to be for me that night. However, in anticipation of my win I had already come up with ways that I would spend my money. A girl can dream right?? Here’s how I would’ve spent my money:

·         Paid off my parent’s mortgage (I’m a generous soul really)

·         Bought myself my first home and an investment property

·         Bought my younger sister a little car she can learn to drive in (then she can't use mine)

·         Go on a trip around Europe and shout myself to Business class flights

·         Paid off HECS!!!!

·         Shout my friends to a shopping trip. Would feel so good to say “just put it on my card.”

·         I would probably go sky diving, just because I can

·         I’d donate a decent amount to the Make A Wish Foundation. I honestly would.

Other than that, I have no idea what I would do. It has never really occurred to me that it could actually happen. You really would have to be the luckiest bugger around to see all of your numbers on that lotto screen. I can’t even fathom how amazing that feeling would be…
