I have this routine of shelling out P60 every other week for  6/45 Lotto tickets. Hey, you’ll never know right? Who cares if the odds are impossible.

I remember back in high school, we would pass around an empty Selecta ice cream can once a week. One of my classmates would then use the money we gathered for Lotto tickets. Any winnings we would get from this exercise  would then be used for the purchase of a “Dboys” compound. That’s just how close we all are. Pretty soon we all got tired of it and turned it into a “Piso para kay Cuervo” donation can. Anyway…

I think winning the Lotto is always on top of the list when it comes to all those what ifs. After placing another bet just this Sunday, I thought of coming up with a list of what I would immediately spend the money on if I won a hundred million bucks.

I would immediately spend on the following:

Family

  1. A new townhouse or condo for my parents - Why? Because our house is just too damn big for all of us. I would get them a place near our current place, just so they won’t miss any of their friends here.
  2. A new Mitsubishi Pajero for my dad - When I was in 3rd year college, our Pajero got stolen near church. Since then, we’ve sworn off getting any “hot” vehicles. It would be great to surprise him with some car keys.
  3. An around the world trip for the whole family - Even including my immediate family in the US. I don’t even remember when we last did this. I’d make the trip a month long. With outlet store shopping on every stop. And videogames.
  4. A Jollibee or McDonalds - So no one from my family will ever have to work again. Nuff said.

Part II of this post tomorrow (that post will include all the toys).
