I missed out on the office lotto pool today. When I got the email, the sceptic in me was like-'Ah, we're not gonna win! What are the chances? I'll just 'save' my dollar...' (Moments later I found myself at the vending machine, but I digress ) Everyone on my team contributed $1 in hopes of winning the big $25 million.
So now, I see people walking around, waving the sheet with the 'winning' numbers and their eyes glimmering with the hopes of winning big. That's what lotto Quebec does- for $1 you can buy a dream. Isn't amazing what a dollar can do? I mean, for the next week, you are dreaming the dream and hoping big and imagining how different and great your life will be when you win (you are definitely thinking positive and thinking-when and not if). When the numbers don't come through, you toss the sheet aside and continue along in your current reality, until next week's draw. There's always the burning question-
'what if?'
Normally, I wouldn't care and wouldn't have thought much about it but because the thought did cross my mind 'what if they do win?', I am starting to think it may be a possiblity and my sceptiscm might just come back and haunt me. No one likes a sceptic, right?
So basically, if in the off chance they do win, looks like I'll be the only one coming in on Monday, while the rest of my
team is off on some cruise or smthg!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I guess this is the anti-lotto dream. And I'm beginning to see how they get you sucked in....................
