Greed, Anger, & Remorse (or Dammit Mom)
Saturday last
picking various numbers with some current significance
as playing the Mega Millions Lottery (estimated Jackpot,
$999,000,000)
won a measly $10,000
for picking 4/5 plus the Mega Ball
If only I'd been born one day later
Tonight's Jackpot, $1,600.000,000
Be careful what you wish for........

Author's Note
Just pondering my thoughts if I were one of the 8 people who won $10,000.

After reading only half of the article you referenced, I edited the piece to place the last sentence in bold print.
I knew you'd understand the meaning right away, but wanted to possibly assist others as to how important it's message is.
Now I'll go back and finish reading it.
Thank You, brother

Such a pleasant poetic comment, thank you, Ely
Yes, I have been absent of late in welcoming new arrivals to the site, something I'm attempting to correct. Fortunately you and others have taken time to do so.
As to the money, well just doing some deep thinking as to how winning or coming so close in doing so could alter my perspectives and values. Can you truly imagine that happening? It's actually quite scary when you think about it, changing one set of worries for another.
As they say; Money can't make you happy, just comfortable in your miseries.

Sorrowfully I shall need to keep my day job, and await another drawing to find my answers to these questions. :-)
Thank you poetess.

I won $3,000 once. It coincided with repairs needed on my car that I had no way to pay for, so it was a very practical experience.

Anytime they talk of money it's bullcrap...no one ever sees it. Or has accessed it....
