$4 is a Lesson To Be Learned

Remember when I said that I was going to buy a 6/49 ticket on my 19th birthday? Well, I never did because everytime I walked by the 6/49 places, I always hesitated because, well, it's $2, and I'm cheap.

Last Sunday, Hanson brought me to play MJ with a bunch of his friends. Of course, knowing me, I don't like to play with real money. Alex, one of his friends felt really lucky since by the end of all the MJ games because he won almost 100% of what we started out with. He said that we should all buy lotto tickets. So we did. We all pitched in $4 and bought 8 tickets. I only paid $2 that night because I didn't have enough, so I still owe Sarah (another one of Hanson's friend) $2.

On Thursday, after the $32 Million jackpot draw came out, my grandpa told me that nobody won the jackpot. By that time, I wanted to cry. After a while, I was like "Oh well, one of those little prizes isn't too bad." But when I saw the numbers that were drawn, I already know that wasn't possible either. I lost faith. I think a one time loss is enough. $4 is a lesson to be learned.

I can't believe I'm in debt. I owe Sarah money!

No. Live is full of risks. Death is one of those risks. If you are afraid of death, you'll become afraid of living. Hiding from the risks is not living at all.

Life is like a lucky draw. If you don't play, you'll never win
