ever seem the movie "it could happend to you?" i did few days ago. it is an older movie but a good movie, the guy in the movie play by nicloas cage as cop who went to a diner and he brough a lottry ticket, but he didnt have any money for tips so he told the waitress she could have half of the money if he win, it turn out he did and he made his promise and the story go on from there.
now it real life winning more 4 millions dollars is alot of money, and he gave that away to her as a tip. now for all your people out there who answer my posting about money chnage people. would ever do what he did if you were in his shoe? i mean if you won the lottory and promise half to someone that you dont really know, would you still keep your promise? or would say keep the money yourself, since the money is yours in the first place. for me i would keep the promise i dont think i could live with myself, for breaking a promise like that. plus that person really need the money bad. but that is me

Hi Friend,
I did not know the origin title of this movie, beccause this movie has a much better title in Hungarian: "Sorsjegyesek" = "sors" means destiny, "sorsjegy" means the lottery coupon, and the "jegyesek" means engaged couple. But the "sorsjegyesek" also means the people who has the lottery coupon. Anyway the hungarian titles of the american movies have always much better sounds, I do not know why... Maybe we are better in it :P
You know I work in an little office as the only administrative person, next to our office there is a shop where there is only one "old" woman as employment. We play with one lottery every week together. We have never won, but I would give her the half of it, if we won, and I am sure that she is as honest as me.
We always play 6 different numbers, 3 for me 3 for her. This week I remember only my numbers, because she bought the coupon friday afternoon. 31,32,33 good numbers, aren't they? :DD

I have not seen this movie. I think I should watch this, it sounds a good movie.
I would keep my promise. Specially if I promis someone who need mony really bad, I would not think twice to keep the whole money for myself.

It Could Happen to You is a good movie to watch, I watched this movie a long time back, it does remind to watch this movie once more.
If such a thing happens to me, I probably wouldn't do the same as the guy in the movie did ...
