Wining the Lotto

While frying eggs for my family this morning my mind wandered to the Super Lotto tickets I purchased on Friday. What are the odds of wining such a random gamble? Most people buy a ticket with hopes of monetary relief. If we won, my husband would quit his job first thing in the morning following the holiday. We then would buy a home in an area more affluent where our children would have the best academic advantages. We would throw a big bar-b-cue at our new home for our family and friends to help celebrate our joyous winnings. Then we would tour Europe, visiting all the places we've been longing to absorb in person.

*sighs long and deeply* Ahhhh, if only..... Calling my guys to breakfast I see another wining in front of me. My husband is home on this long holiday weekend filling our home with his musica - mi favorito, Javier Solis (que romantico). Our little casita is filled with the aroma of coffee. Our boys slowly, peacefully moving through the house. After a hectic summer, we finally can enjoy a weekend of bliss.

In statistics I learned that the possibility of wining the lotto is extremely unlikely. It was I believe, a 0.000001 possibility. Geeze, I can't recall how many zeros there were after the decimal point but let me tell you, there were a lot of zeros before that lowly 1. Go ahead, and spend your dollar as you wish but, know that it is Extremely Unlikely that you will win. Kowing this, I still went ahead and bought $2 worth in hopes that I would be lucky enough to win at least enough to get us out of debt. Yup, just as many other fellow Americans we are in debt thanks to our delapitated garage and storage room. Now I find myself in need of a job to help recover our expenses. Finding a job out in good ol' Califor..ni...ia is hard to do in this economy. Especially since I have not worked in nine years. {Hence my purchase of hope}. Fortunately, luck comes in many forms my friends.

Curious to discover if I was that 0.000001 I went on to the net to match as many numbers on my tickets as I could. Javier Solis was singing his lullubys so smoothly and sauve (besaaame...besame muuuuchooo....) I looked at my husband and paused for a while. *takes a deep breath* At that very moment I saw my lottery winnings before me. Winning all that money would be nice but I have everything that is more important to me than any artificial element could ever bring me. Okay, so then I turned my attention to the computer screen, and of course it was a bust - well I had one number. *rolls eyes* Not enough to win $20 million, but enough to bring me back to reality.

This reality I could live on for an entire lifetime and more. The love of my family supports me better than any lotto wining could ever give me. I live for weekends such as this one. So, adios my friends! I'm going to go spend time with my familia before the crazy week begins.
