two and a half million to the church and other charitable institutions.
a million to each of my seven siblings.
half a million to my dad.
a quarter of a million to my aunt.
a quarter of a million to my parents in law.
a quarter of a million to each of my three brothers in law.
half a million goes to all relatives and friends.
ninety two thousand to all BLOGGING FRIENDS. seriously.

that leaves me and my family with 3.25 million. millions that will be spent to pay off the house, to go on a whole year tour around the world, lifetime budget for a weekly massage and pedicure, savings for the kids’ education, savings for retirement. and lastly, a budget to buy a little paradise like island inhabited by gorgeous, half naked hunks….never mind. i was kidding. about the half naked men, not about the island.

that explains where my share of 15.92 million dollars is going, if we win this 320 dollars plus lotto draw. last night, we all blessed our dollar bills and kissed them good luck.

i won’t divulge the confidentiality of the whole matter by blabbing about what other nurses want to do with their money, but i can attest to the fact that H will buy a personal trainer who would willingly sleep with her every night, or whenever she wants him to. other than that, i’m not telling.

the mood was, to say the least, very festive. on and off, as we all discussed what we will do with our share, it actually made all of us a little giddy. we got dizzy thinking of all the things we will do with OUR money.  since i have never in my entire life bought a lotto ticket, it made me quite anxious. i thought now that i am 38 might be a good time to do this thing for the first time. first times are always exciting.

if you were at work last night, you will definitely feel the undeniable sense of community that drew us all closer together, in a way. for a 12 hour shift period, it seemed like we have known everyone in the unit like we’ve never known each other before. it was indescribable, and it certainly made the night shorter. i have to say, it’s funny how talks about money and how one will spend a large amount of it indirectly reveal one’s inner self. it was also fascinating.

of course everybody out there who knows that this thing is a very long shot from reality, won’t be able to help their cynical selves and will dramatically roll over the floor laughing their you know what out.

please. i beg you,  don’t laugh that loud and let it rain on our parade. not that we really have a parade, what with this scorching heat that can burn even the thickest skin…. but you know what i mean….

instead of drooling in your laughter, why don’t you be a good sport and just tell me what you’ll do with your millions if you eventually win that elusive jackpot?
