Will I be lucky?

First off, I have not blogged in a week for various reasons but I am stealing my time to get at this and hope to keep stealing some time every day to work at this. So, I was browsing the papers this morning looking for some topic to blog on. There is tons of news that is happening or in the making everyday from different parts of the world and so I would never run out of topic to blog on. Everybody reads the paper (at least most of us – right?) and so what is the point in blogging about the news that everyone knows of already? To blog on something that someone knows already and someone is blogging on about somewhere … you see… it becomes outmoded. Some can say, that is the point behind blogging and I agree. It is my space to blog on what I feel is ok or what I can relate to but the key is how to keep the reader interested in what I write even though the news or the article that I am writing on is already known. Well, that is the skill I am working on and I want you all to support me in that by sharing your views.

So for today, I picked up a simple news of how a woman, Kristina Schneider in North Canton, Ohio bought the last lottery ticket on the roll with a $10 bill that she found in the store that she was working for. Kristina, a single mother, was already in debt with nine maxed out credit card and almost $9,000 in debt for her associates degree found a $10 bill in the store she was working and with that money bought the ticket for Magnificent Millions lottery game, last Friday. Her luck favored her and the ticket she got was the winner and she ended up with millions. She did not have to put the seed money to buy the lottery ticket. Anyone will pick up the $10 bill or any dollar bill or coins for that matter, if anyone spots it lying on the ground. There is no argument there. But what you do with the money you picked up is the question. I guess something pushed her to buy that last lottery ticket. I can say with certainty that ‘Force was with her’.

Well, what would I do if I got all that money from woodwork? I can go about saying the usual lines just like others would – give some amount to my parents, give some amount to my family, get a bigger house, buy a great car, and donate some money for a great cause and so on. But apart from that, what else will I do. Will I change to be a different person? Will I start wearing fancy and classy stuff? Will I start being like a royal person? I don’t think so. I will still be the same person as I was before. If I am happy from within already, nothing will and should matter. Well, that is a very heavy statement. I have not even imagined what I would do, if I get that kind of money on hand. First, let the force be with me and let me get the money first and then everything will fall in place automatically. Yes, even before that I sure will make a trip to the store to get my ticket!
