Here's a story for you. DH plays the lotto 2X a week. One week he misplaced his punchcard and ended up not playing.
Well, wouldn't you know, all 6 numbers hit that night.
We would have won a minimum of $1000/wk for life.
OK, so after being thoroughly depressed for several weeks...we have accepted this and moved on. However, it made us think. If we had won, would we have told anyone? We have some family members that would feel entitled and want us to bail them out of their messed up lives indefinitely (they already try this, and we've "paid" them off by giving them enough $$ that they know better than to come to the well again).
Just curious how others would handle this, if it happened to them.
And, words of sympathy much appreciated for our "loss". Yikes.
