i will finally be able to build the garage of my audi's dreams...
no more sleeping under the stars,
no more indignities of stray dogs pissing on her tyres,
no more bird crap fouling the sunroof,
no more paparazzi demanding to know who owns such a fine polluter of the atmosphere...
I have a better chance of being struck by lightning.
That, added to the horror stories about what having that kind of money does to a person, and I'm just like "meh, who cares, I don't need it to be happy". So I just don't care to waste money on it. Sure, I'll go to Vegas, but I spend a minimal amount and just to have fun doing it.

I see these people scratching off lottery papers and it looks more like a redneck retirement program.
I saw a comedian, forget her name, but she said, If I won the lottery I would quit in the middle of this joke🙂

Originally posted by @torunnSome fish would be nice but my main interest would be a safe haven for frogs; a big one got trapped inside a stack of plant pots and died but I have one that hangs out in a roll of torn tarpaulin , plus a baby toad that lives under a few old housebricks. I’m looking into starting a reality TV show for children on them. 🙂
