What would you do if you won the lottery?
Hey…
I hope all of you are doing well…!
A cool Wednesday morning it is after we were blessed with on and off showers which also boosted the winds making it a hard to survive climate outside…!
I had a plan to go somewhere but I couldn’t because of the rain and the type of work I was trapped in;
As soon as the rain stopped a little bit I took my two wheeler and ran towards my home;
Thankfully I was able to reach home just before light showers started even after the usual 20 minute drive took me 40 because I had to grab supplies for home…!
Last night was crazy as I had this ringing pain, because I slept late the night before around 3 finishing a movie and even today I feel a little light headed…!
Oh the days of binge watching things are over now,
A sad realisation all of it came with…;
But,
All I need to do is observe myself;
It’s the second day and according to my calculations all of the symptoms like pain in my head and feeling lethargy should go by the third day, without taking any heavy dose of caffeine to jolt me awake…!
All of the above is wrapped in a thin sheet of hope and a promise not to binge watch ever again after midnight…!
Coming back to the prompt
Winning the lottery…!
It is a dream come true right, even if it’s someone like me who has never ever played a single lottery before;
Not knowing how the things work, but a fact is known that the chance of winning a slim;
Next to none if seen from a perspective;
But, on the offset I bought a single ticket and won a sum; I would for sure save it towards a better future..!
The prompt never tells you if you’re winning big or small, does it…?
And when all of us think of winning the lottery we all think about winning big, a sum that’s a few crores, if not at least a few ten lakhs would suffice…!
But winning these expects you to pay a whole lot of the money earned this way in the form of tax (just checked the stats and it’s 30%)
On the offset you win some,
The government wins 30% automatically from you;
No matter if you have been playing it all the time or took a first ticket and won 1 crore for example…!
The government automatically becomes the owner of 30 lakhs from the money that you earned…!
It would be selfish to keep all of the remaining money to yourself unless you thank the factors that forced you to buy the ticket and earn it…!
Maybe donate a portion of the money and keep the rest or make continuous donations of little amount each month which makes you look like a sane person;
Instead of spending it all on riches that you won’t be able to afford the upkeep of later,
Like expensive cars and houses which require recurring maintainance but none of it won’t be possible if you have already depleted all of the source…!
So,
Spend cautiously;
It’s the same as the money earned through illegal activities, a lot is earned and a lot is spent and at the end nothing is left…!
