You Have to Work For It!

Very sweet of your Mom.

You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than winning the lottery! But that still doesn't stop us all from playing! Good luck to your mum on winning the lottery!

@marlina I agree! If I ever won the lottery, I would use most of it towards helping my kids in the future!

So it's not just the United States that's becoming a nation of handouts!

@saulgoodman Thee are many in our country who are pushing for that here too.

@moffittjc No. We even do free healthcare for everyone

@moffittjc If you do win please send me the ticket so it can be verified truly did win.

@Bluedoll Oh absolutely! And I'll make sure and not sign the back of the ticket until after you have had a chance to verify it!

Well...it works for some people! Somebody has to win the lottery each week, right? Might as well be me!

@moffittjc Nooo, tooo bad, I was ready to jump on a plane and come with a bottle of Champagne to celebrate.

@LadyDuck You're welcome to still jump on that plane and come with a bottle of champagne...I need some consoling since I didn't win!

Well, the fact that I'm still here on myLot today earning pennies is pretty indicative of my success in winning the lottery last night! hahaha

@moffittjc And all the while living in their parents' homes....free most likely.

In defense of today's generation, many of them still know the value of hard work. Most of my staff are college students, and they are good workers for the most part. I think the big difference between yesterday's generation and today's generation is that kids nowadays want instant gratification, instead of having to work for it over time. Why can't they be the CEO of the company straight out of college? Why can't they live in a 3,000 sf home in their 20's? Why can't they drive a BMW when they're 18?

@CoralLevang One of the questions I ask when interviewing for new positions is: Where do you see yourself in five years? The young kids will look me in the eye and tell me flat out that in five years they will be in my position. I just laugh...it's taken me 25 years to get to my position. I'm pretty sure they're still going to be sweeping floors and scrubbing toilets in five years! lol

I'm not just giving you guys free handouts! You have to work hard for it, just like I did! lol

@moffittjc HAHAHAHAHA well ain't you a sweetheart!!

@Happy2BeMe Okay, flattery does work for me! You just moved up to the top of the list!

@moffittjc we can think of the oddest things at weird times

The things I think of late at night...

@dodo19 And usually when you're least expecting it!

@moffittjc ..I wish I could believe you...I saw the entire lottery amount missing there, I am going to the police..

@moffittjc .. The incriminating evidence is all here. Whatever is needed that is...pack your bags, you are leaving for prison.

@vandana7 I have ensured that none of that money is traceable! It's all sitting in an off-shore bank account in Bermuda. Or is it? {evil, maniacal laugh}

@moffittjc Haha! :) Are you quite the regular for lottery or once in a while

@infatuatedbby I don't ever play the lottery! I just like joking about it! lol

I'm still here this morning on myLot. That's probably a pretty good indicator of how well I did in the lottery last night!

@moffittjc indeed, my money is not working hard enough hahahaha... the trip is going ok.. man I want to go home

@Drosophila You mean you haven't found you a handsome Chinese man over there to take good care of you?

I not only expect it, I demand it! And not only do I put other people to work for me, I also put my money to work for me. Many people don't realize that our money can work hard for us too, if we know what to do with it! Hope the trip is going well for you! Are you working hard over there?

The working hard part, or the winning the lottery part?

@JamesHxstatic Can I borrow 10 bucks if you win?

@moffittjc Well, winning of course! I will be checking my tickets today.

I think I can spare a few bucks to buy you lunch!

@DianneN We'll just make it a fancy restaurant!

@moffittjc Lol! Thanks!

If by "win" you mean I now have a piece of paper that I can use as toilet paper to wipe my butt with, then yes I'm a winner! LOL {I apologize if that left a bad image in your head!}

@moffittjc

Sounds to me like you know exactly what you want! You want to be HAPPY! That's an admirable goal. And you don't need to win the lottery to achieve that goal either!

@moffittjc interesting, because I'm actually listening to audio book right now called "The Attractor Factor" which is sort of like the secret. And it says one of the keys to attracting what you want into your life is being happy now... not that I have that mastered.

Well, I'm certainly not the next millionaire! Guess I have to go back to work and try to get rich the old fashioned way.

I'm sure it's going to happen to one of us someday!

Yes! Hypocrisy at its best!
