A Little Greed

Today one of my colleague, Alice asked me if I am interested to join in the Lucky Draw Group. I think there were about 25 of us grouping together to buy about 200 tickets. Well, we know the chances of striking it lucky is minimal but even with a glimmer of hope, who is drawn by the lure of striking it rich. Although the share from the loot will not make us millionaire, any amount should we strike lucky will be most welcomed.All of us live on hopes and dreams that are near impossible to achieve......yet we still cling to them. For many times already we have bought the tickets, but so far no luck. It is usually the .......one day we will strike lucky....that keeps us from giving up.
Heaven's luck of striking it rich has not been on my side so far. The best I did was I won about RM100 in Magnum. So far, not so good. The numbers that I bought for the so many times didnt even come near. But once in a while I still bought either Toto or Magnum. Greed la.......Just imagine the things that can be done with the money should one strike a few millions. Wow.....no more worries about money anymore. Even if it is a few hundred thousands.....the money will come in useful.
I don't think it is against my religion to be a bit greedy. I am not hurting anyone or causing anyone problems. Just the thought of striking it rich only. Not cheating or stealing money from someone. Just pay some money to buy the tickets.............if strike, good. If not, enriching already rich businessman.
Well, I don't think I am the only one who have plans on what to do with the money should one strike lucky. Imagination really runs wild ........all sorts of things come to the head. The first is of course share the happiness with other members of the family by distributing some to them. The comes donating to charity....all the favourite charities that one could only spare a bit now and then.On course one would also pamper oneself with the winnings...............have a spa, make-over, delicious food and also a well-deserved holiday. Nice dreams, isn't it? Winning a lot of money also means that one has to keep a low profile. One cannot go around displaying one's newly acquired wealth. It would be asking for trouble............the criminal kind. One would not want to be a target of kidnappers and extortionists.Better to keep it quiet for a while so that one would not be cheated.
Alas............all dreams. Well, may be one day.............................
