First, I’m not going to win the lottery. I don’t live in the right state. I can’t think of any instance where someone from Virginia won a huge sum of money on either Powerball or Mega Millions. So, that’s a lulz.
And that’s over and above the basic statistics that indicate that even if someone from Virginia wins the ~$1 billion Powerball, it’s not going to be me. But all that hasn’t stopped me from dwelling on what I imagine would be the lead up to me winning.
I think the first sign I might get that something was about to happen would be I couldn’t sleep. I would stay up all night for some strange reason. Then, any number of weird, unexpected things would happen to me in quick succession in the hours leading up to the event.
Then…BAM…life changed.
If I won the lottery, I would change the world with all that money. I would quickly become — for better or worse — one of the best known people in America, if not the world. It’s my nature.
