My dollar, my dream
My dollar, my dream
Yes, I play the lottery.
I play it anytime the payout goes above 70 million dollars. AND THEN… I play it a lot!
Kashei mocks me, of course (she is very, very mean) and my friends from college call it the “stupid tax,” as in a tax on the stupid. The lovely lefties call it the “poor tax.”
But the lottery, to me, is none of those things. It’s (thankfully) just a game. Not just the number picking and ticket checking, but the daydreaming about what I’d do with the money (a month long stay in Canyon Ranch tops the list!) or where’d I go (or where I’d tell the mean bossman to go.) It’s an exercise in hope and promise with just a little bit of superstition rolled in. For a little while I imagine me as my best self, free of the worry and uncertainity of a wall street professional with a crap load of debt in a sputtering economy who lives with her mom just west of the ghetto.
So, although Yolanda Vega may not call out my numbers on TV during the news, I still win everytime I play.
That…. or I’m an addict in denial.
No, I’m not.

Oh boo hoo. Poor, poor corporate lawyer. We really, really feel for you. And Canyon Ranch? You’d hate it and want to come home. I would bet on that.

Playing occasionally is one of my dirty pleasures too. I only play a buck though. I look at it this way, playing a buck increases my chances of winning infinitely over not playing at all, but playing extra tickets barely increases my chance of winning. I also feel less dumb when I waste a buck than if I wasted 10.
