Dream a Little Dream - by KT Chen

The mega-millions jackpot is over a billion.  I can’t even fathom that kind of money.  Someone, against impossible odds, is going to win it.  This week, next week, next month … at some point … someone, or a group of someones, will become very, very rich.
 
I see the billboards across town and daydream, just a little, about what I’d do if I won.  Of course, you have to play to win, and I don’t play, but all that aside, I still think of what I’d do with a chunk of money, should I become suddenly rich, as unlikely as that would be.
 
My spouse and I have some small student loans, so they’d get paid off post-haste.  We also have an 11-year-old car that we call Esmerelda.  She’s been wonderful but gets cranky in cold weather.  Since she isn’t as reliable as she used to be, she should probably be retired.  I would want upgrade my wardrobe and buy some new socks.  (With all few t-shirts and cold weather gear exceptions, most of my clothing is almost as old as our car).  My spouse would probably want to move into a bigger apartment or house.  Nothing crazy.  Just middle-class dreams for middle-class people.
 
To be honest, I hope the jackpot is won by a pool of people.  Maybe some custodians and secretaries in an office somewhere that got together and won a life-changing amount of money each.  Or some maids and cook staff at a hotel.  Or some waitresses and busboys.  I would be very happy for them.  I would hope they would use their money wisely. 
 
Until then, I guess we can all dream a little about how we’d use the money.
 
Best of luck to those playing.  I hope you win!

I'll be writing.  Maybe someday, I'll get "discovered," and I, too, will make some serious money.  Maybe.  We all have our dreams.

Go forth and write!

    I write about writing, working out, my dog, being deaf, and anything else I find of interest.

    I post on Mondays, before 9 AM.
