I won the Mega Lottery!! or the dreams of an unemployed 60 year old Father

I have been unemployed now for six months and as I start the new year (2010) I thought I'd start to write this blog. One it gives me something to start my day with and two, who knows maybe some will read it.

Being unemployed at 60 is a frustrating process. I can meet requirements of many positions but I can see the employer is looking for someone younger. Of course they never say that, but having been in sales for most of my career, I can read someone's face quickly.

I like the dream of winning the Mega Lotto, so I buy two tickets a week. It gives me a few days to dream of what I'd do with the money. I enjoy seeing the TV shows of Lotto winners and what they have done with their money and many times I see how they lost it. I wouldn't lose it!!??

I have asked family members what they would do if they won a large lottery and my thoughts are that if I won, I would know what they are expecting and I wouldn't feel guilty for not meeting their expectations. Of course, this would mean I won the BIG money, because if I won a small lotto amount I have to cover my own bills first.

I think about the process of managing the money instead of just giving it away. A gift like that is one that could go on for generations if managed right.

What would you do with the money?
