Lottery

Mood: wanting to win a lottery

So a man in Ireland won the big European jackpot of over a 100 million euros today. Just by winning this lottery, he became the 72nd richest person in the UK BEFORE the Beckhams! ( the Beckhams are currently estimated to be worth a cool 130 million dollars American but are projected to  be worth a billion in 10 years). HOW UNFAIR IS THIS!? Mani played the lottery for the first time at my behest because HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN IF HE WON THAT MUCH MONEY!!!! He said he'd buy me all the jewelry, bags, shoes, cosmetics and clothes that I wanted. :D Oh and he would fly me to every Radiohead concert when they tour ( or maybe I'm just being presumptuous :P)

The best part would be that he could finally come to Canada :D

The Lottery is such a funny thing. A little piece of paper with numbers on it and it can change the course of your life FOREVER! I think if I had that much money I'd buy property all over the world so that I could go wherever I wanted to relax. But most likely I would probably give it to my parents and donate more money monthly to Amnesty International. As well I'd buy my sisters all the designer handbags they desired!

They say not to worry so much about getting attacked by sharks in the ocean because the chances are 1 in 30 000 000. I still wouldn't risk it, but if the lottery were sharks, how bad would it be to continually not be attacked even though you willingly plunge into the ocean with so many others to be that one lucky bastard to walk away richer than Posh Spice? ( well, being able to snag Becks puts her that much farther ahead than this irish dude)

What would you do with 100 million Euros?

Ours is with four or five other states. I\'d like to get in on the New York lottery. I think theirs one time got to 280 million. I would LOVE to win that. I am not sure who won that one! Good luck to you if you ever buy a ticket!!! 35 million is 35 million!!!
