I'd have no problem finding productive things to do with a million dollars. I wouldn't sit around wasting away either. If a million dollars fell into my lap, my biggest problem would be maintaining a straight face when everyone rushes to me with a sad story... Don't get me wrong, I'd definitely be charitable, but the hardest part in hanging on to money is preventing yourself from giving most of it away after that point.

That being said, I don't believe in any sense of lottery providing opportunities for winning money. I don't trust the lottery system in any shape or form. And wishes of winning large sums of money only serves to set your ambition back in life, so I generally avoid it, unless powerball/megamils is above 200m, that is a thing worth gambling on.

The first part of this sentence is so true, and the second part so false...


Of course, its added for comedic irony.
