WINNING LOTTO:
Right from the beginning, I just want to let you know I have
NOT won lotto..... yet. I’m a planner, one of those people that budgets every
last cent every week, writes lists for everything and looks at the future more
than I look at the present. I feel content when I put plans into place, but
sometimes when the plan doesn’t work out or circumstances change I get
stressed. This is exactly what happened tonight at 8.00pm, when the NZ Lotto
was drawn. Let me take you back about to about 5pm where I saw that the
powerball had was at 32 mllion dollars and I was pretty sure if I bought a ticket
that I would win it. So I jumped online and bought a ticket with the last
$18.00 sitting in my account. For the next two hours I planned all the great
things I was going to do for people with it. I started to plan,
Here are some of the ideas I had come up with:
- - I was going to donate 50% to charity (World Vision, Plunket, Salvation Army)
- - Start up a successful, profitable business that would create jobs for people in my community
- - Build a SPCA type zoo that people could come to for free and adopt the animals they liked, while the animals had a place to their liking and comfort
- - Help to repair the hole in the Ozone layer
- - Volunteer in a mission overseas
- - Put $1 million away in a trust fund for my daughter, Summer and future kids I may have
- - Buy a house in Melbourne for my sister and gift her an OE that she has always dreamt of
- - Buy a house for my family in a comfortable location
Well for all you cynics out there, you will have guessed
what happened next. I won....... $33. (Fifth division). I didn’t make the 32
million dollars that I had PLANNED for. Instead of feeling disappointed, I felt
elated, motivated and driven because I realised I didn’t need this money, I
could help and share and become a better person without winning lotto. So I
will keep buying Lotto tickets every week and until I win, I will spend my spare time helping to
accomplish everything I planned to do. I’m writing this blog to take everyone
through my journey. You may think I’m a dreamer, maybe I am but I enjoy
dreaming because without hope there is no point in living. I want to have
personal achievements that show that one person can help the world become a
better place.
Things I want to do (BIG AND SMALL):
- - See “WICKED” on stage
- - EVERYTHING on the list above
- - Raise my daughter with a great moral standing
- - Embrace life and all its benefits
- - Inspire Others
- - Help Others
- - Write a novel
- - Make additions to my list
Where to start? The million dollar (or 32 million dollar)
question. Who knows what tomorrow may bring? J
I currently run an “Employment Consultancy” which helps struggling unemployed
people find work. I write CVs, Cover letters and applications, organise them
for interviews (and drive them there) all for no cost. This week I might
concentrate on this. Put my $33.00 in the bank to good use. Wish me luck!
