Winning in a lottery

Winning in a lottery especially a very, very big amount is what most people dream of. Of course lottery is a form of gambling. If you really wanted to win, you need to gamble your money to buy a lot of tickets and this can cause you to be “short” or in other words run out of money. But of course there are really people who are risky and no matter what happens, they hope to win so they would spend all their money to buy lottery tickets even though they know that there could be a probability that they would not win or they would win that big amount. Well, it just depends on luck and who knows someday you might become an instant millionaire.

But of course, who wouldn’t be happy if a time will come when you would win in a lottery. What would you do with the money? If I am the one given the chance to win in a lottery, the first thing that I would do is to build a house for my family. Not really as big, as fabulous or as magnificent as the other houses but a house that has enough rooms for all of us since we are several in the family with of course some guest rooms and a music room. I don’t care if it is a two-storey or a three-storey house as long as it is well-designed, it is enough for all of us and it looks nice and elegant. Secondly, the remaining money would be for the payment of our debts. I admit it, we do have a lot of debts and until now, some were still not paid and I really wanted to help my family specifically my parents and aunts so I wanted to share my money with them for paying our debts. Thirdly, the money remaining would be for our educational finances. Nowadays, the school tuitions are already increasing and only a few are given the chance of becoming a scholar. Of course, my brothers and I wanted to go to school and finish our studies that is why I wanted to finance myself and my brothers. Just like what my aunt told me who is a choir member, if ever she may win a big amount of money in a game show, a contest or in a lottery, she wanted to donate some of it for the church in our province. I, myself also wanted to do the same thing. I also wanted to help some charities or orphanage too. If there is still some remaining money, it would not only be for me but I wanted to share it with my family. Maybe some would be spent for our personal necessities and some would be deposited in the bank.

Lottery is a form of gambling and some people just don’t care what would be the effect of gambling a big amount of your money in the lottery as long as they have tried because we cannot predict what would happen in the future. Who knows you might get rich someday and only God knows. What is important is just pray to the Creator above and being rich is not a hindrance in life not to be happy, successful and pursuing your dreams in life. God has plans for us and there are really people who are just lucky enough to win in a lottery and other contests, raffles, etc. but for the others who are hoping to win in it, just try and try until you succeed but of course gambling is not good but if you have the guts and you believe you would really win, then go for it.
