The $100,000 lottery win


Winning the lottery would be exhilarating. I would feel as if I was on top of the world.  I would also feel more confident about my future.  I would feel as if I could do whatever I wanted whenever I want without worrying about the expense.  The resulting confidence would bring a feeling of ease and would reduce some of life’s complications. Winning the lottery would bring all these feelings and emotions of happiness into daily life.

If my family won the lottery we would save most of it for future expenses and expeditions, but would we would use some for fun and excitement now.  Some of the winnings would go towards a college funds for my brothers and I. As well as spending some on vacations, phones, clothes, boats, and an endless myriad of fun exciting activities. My life would be much more stimulating and my days would be filled with more appealing events and have much more variety if my family won the lottery.

Winning the lottery is not always the best thing that could happen to a family though.  It can ruin a life just as easily as it can save one. To begin with, we could all end up fighting about how to spend the money. My brothers would want to spend it on vacations, my parents would want to put it towards savings, and I would want to buy clothes. In addition to the fighting, family friends and neighbors may become jealous and relationships with friends may change.  With jealously comes greed, and greed would lead to being taken advantage of even by the ones that you thought you trusted. Living the life of a lottery winner isn’t the best dream for your life; it comes with many problems that could bring devastating change to the people in your life.
