Its the ultimate dream, right?
Sitting on the couch, that small slip of paper clutched tight in your sticky hand. The music, the fanfare, the spectacle, the hope flowing from the TV. The machine churning, spinning, mixing all the balls.
The host, his California smile and effortless commentary. The hostess, inpossibly beautiful, impeccably dressed. The tension, the lights, the colours, the countdown.....
5.....4....3...2..1. The first ball is out.
Hang on... you have that number!
The second ball is the last number you selected.
The third ball is, is, is...... on your ticket.
Please, please, please, gimme the fourth. Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
I promise Lord I will be good. The fifth, the fifth, the fifth, THE FIFTH.
The final ball. You can't breathe. This is the difference between confortable and crazy. The difference between Buick and Bentley. The difference between living in the city or retiring by the sea.
Can't look. Eyes closed. Fingers in your ears. The only sights, stars swimming in front of your eyelids. The only sounds, the thump of your heart.
Take a peak, the only number you need is 7. Just peek through one eye. Open your mouth with a huge 'O'. Open the other eye. Stop breathing. It is 7. Check. Recheck. Check again.
Jump, shout, scream, run up the stairs, chase the dog, kiss the kids. You have done it. Won It. All of it. The JACKPOT.
Your new life begins......
I can't guarantee you will win. But we will keep you posted with winning numbers. Winning strategies. Winning stories. Go get your ticket and dare to dream. But come back soon and share in the fun.
