Winning the Lottery Will Change My Life: From a Fresh Start to a Dream Home

Winning the lottery remains elusive to me despite my faithful weekly purchase of a ticket. Even so, in preparedness for that lucky day I know will come; I often indulge in fantasy about my rags to riches life once I do finally win a massive amount of money. Here I share five ways my life will change after winning the lottery.

1 - Lottery Winnings Will Build My Dream Log Cabin

I love the peace of living in the New England woods. No matter how much money I have when I win the lottery, I will not trade my six acres of land for any other place in the world.

However, in a heartbeat, I will gladly pay cash to anyone who brings in a bulldozer and puts my old house out of its misery. The relationship with my frumpy house has been over for a long time.

I confess I have been flirting with a classy, well-built log cabin for 25 years now. Do I feel bad it is going to end this way? No, I have no guilt whatsoever. The house I live in now just does not fit my lottery winning vision. My dream log cabin, however, does. All good things must end!

2 - Winning the Lottery Will Provide For Grandchildren

I want my four grandchildren to understand the concept behind setting goals and working hard for the material things they want in life. Dreaming is but a facet of building a strong foundation; doing is the mortar!

At the same time, winning the lottery will enable me to make sure they have some financial backup for the future, even though I will not let them know this in order that they strive to succeed on their own. Whether they use the money for college, to buy a home or perhaps start a business; winning the lottery will make this security possible.

3 - Rags to Riches - Help Someone Make a Fresh Start

My "winning the lottery" vision includes assisting someone down on their luck. I will help a few people who have always worked hard, but for whatever the reason, are having a bad run in life.

I am a staunch advocate of paying it forward. I received help a few times myself in life, when things were not going so great, so I will take great pleasure in being able to do the same.

4 - Winning the Lottery & Working Less

I have been working since I was 10, but honestly, after all the years I put in as an employee, and the last 17 years of endless hours building the business my husband and I own; I will work a lot less after winning the lottery!

I need to be busy and enjoy working, but the thought of blowing off a day (or three or four) of work to go to the beach is something I am more than ready to do at this point in my life. Heck, if I win enough money from that lucky lottery ticket, I may buy a beach house!

5 - Winning the Lottery Will Be a Guarded Secret

When I win the Massachusetts lottery, no matter what I have to do to keep it a secret, no one is going to know! I have read countless nightmare stories about people winning the lottery that end up stalked by every Tom, Dick and long-lost Aunt Edna walking the planet.

If you are not my daughters, my grandchildren, my sister, my brothers or part of my immediate circle of family and friends--you are not getting a dime of my money! You will have to buy your own ticket and like everyone else who dreams of winning the lottery, I hope you experience your own rags to riches story some day!
