I’m sure
you’ve already heard about it –
Unless,
of course, you happen to live in a cave… or California.
Yeah, I’m
talking about that gazillion dollar Powerball jackpot.
Okay,
okay, I’m exaggerating – it’s worth a mere 500 million. Chump change, I know.
But I
must admit that it has tempted even me.
I
actually parted with TWO WHOLE DOLLARS
for a chance at it.
Because,
what the heck – two bucks is a small price to pay for a day of what ifs.
And what ifs do wonders for creative
thinking, you know.
What if you had that kind of dough?
Did you
know that you could give away a $100 bill every single day for the rest of your
life, and yet… you’d barely touch the interest you’d be making off the
money?
Can you
imagine spreading that kind of giddy good fortune every twenty-four hours?
Alternatively,
you could rake all the cash into a big pile and dive in à la Scrooge McDuck.
Ah, the
possibilities are such delicious fun to ponder, aren’t they?
And yes,
deep down inside, we all know that money won’t buy happiness.
But hey,
we also want to check it out for ourselves…
just to
be sure.
PROMPT: What would you do with that kind of
cash? What would your story’s main character do? A windfall can make for an interesting
plot twist. Is it a big time blessing or crushing curse? YOU get to decide.
