Instant Wealth
So, Philippine Lottery called Ultralotto is currently making a buzz in the country. Why? because of the potted jackpot prize of whopping Php 835 000 000.00 or USD 16 000 000. So the line in every lotto outlet is never-ending, as everyone, including me, trying our luck to pocket that amount. That if it will fit on our pocket.
Honestly speaking, I personally do not want to win all of that money, because I can't think of the things that I can do with that amount. A car, house, dream guitar? that is still too much. With that amount, I can even buy those things multiple times. Why not?
Seriously, everytime I try my luck to hit the jackpot, I just wish to win a part of it, I am praying that I wish to win with some other people with it. I am praying some other people would bet the same six numbers I bet.
Wishful Thinking
Everyone of us dreams to be wealthy. I'm sure. That is the most common reason we came into Steemit.com and other cryptocurrencies. Because of the wishful thinking of instant "jackpot". We all pray and wish that each of our hodling coins shoot up to the moon and enjoy the ease of living.
So do I. So everytime I am lining up with the rest of the bettors, I daydream, dreaming of holding several zeros of an amount in my bank account. I told my self to not tell it to anyone for me and family's safety. But I said to myself to prioritize things where to spend the money.
Come and Dream With Me
First, I will have my parents' house fixed. I've been the breadwinner of the family since years I forgot. My father has passed away already last July and I still feel a failure for not at least fixing our house. Then, I will help a friend who is still struggling with his expenses for the hospitalization of his daughter that is suffering a heart and lung congenital disease. I wrote about it 8 months ago in here and until today, Thea is still not fully recovered.
Next, I will search for other charities to support. Man, that amount of money is a lot. I'm sure there will still be left for me and my wife. And of course, buy things for my wife and invest for a business, even to cryptocurrencies, especially steem.
Yes, As you all can see, I did not prioritize our own wants and needs. Which every Filipino that trying their luck in hitting the jackpot prize. All the people in line in my photo has the same reason with me, to bring their families a good life and living. Each of the people in line has different struggles that dealing with that needs the bag of wheat. For Php24 of USD0.5 per six different numbers out of 1-58, they will get that 0.0000000001% chance of becoming an instant millionaire.
Anyway, I did not prioritize our own wants and needs because I still can't imagine my self just sitting all-day at home. I still believe in labor working to earn until the age of 40, which my ideal age of retirement. Hopefully, by that age, I can just sit at home while earning for a living through an invested and successful business. Or a lotto winner. Wish me luck!
