If I Won in a...

Winning in a lottery is what everybody is dreaming about because in a lottery, they give out large amount of money and I know that everybody has been dreaming of that fortune especially those who really dependent on this kind of game. However, a question would probably just come unexpectedly when I think of that good fate and a question here is how would I be spending such big amount? Helping somebody would be a very realistic thing to do so that when someday you need help, they will help you also. Another thing is by saving because I do not know what will happen in the future of my existence here on earth.

Now, if I were given a chance to have that money, I would probably give out a fraction to our parish because that is one of the many ways that I can thank the Lord above for giving me such a great luck. I would also save in a bank and earn interest in it. That is a way of how I can expound my money. Because I know that someday, I would need the savings of mine in some future instances. Moreover, I know that the savings would also be needed in my brothers and sisters schooling. This amount of money would also be very helpful to my mother and relatives because to admit it, I belong to a big family. With this money, I would also fulfill my dreams. Just like to refurnish our old house and to make it a lot better for us to really fit and feel comfortable in our house. Another thing that I am thinking of is spending some for those street children who really beg for money for food but there was this Anti-Mendicancy Law and I would not be able to give money while I am on the street but instead I would probably spend for a feeding program to help them. I am also thinking of helping those illegal settlers to build their houses because I really do not know why the government would let them suffer so much. I know that there must be some way to help them and I believe that if somebody who wins in lotto helps them, I think that they would not suffer that much. However, this help that I want to offer is not to the extent that they will become dependent on the help from another person and not working for themselves at all.

Going back to the lotto, I will not also depend on it because if one would rely on it always, then I think that nothing would happen. Because I believe that in this kind of game, fortune is the main driver. Because I believe that it is luck if ever one would win in such a game.

As I have observed to some people, some would count the benefits they are going to get if ever they have the money. However, my grandmother would always tell me that do not count your blessings before they come into reality. What I want to stress here, is that one should not count what he would have in the future if ever they win because something might happen and his dreams would not come true anymore.
