So since I've decided that my life would be SO much better if I were rich
I've decided that it's worth any risk I have to take to win the lottery. I mean, think of all the positive changes winning the lottery would bring about!! I'd be ever so popular, never have to worry about money again, I could tell my boss to kiss my ass and go off to buy that special hotel I've always wanted to run!!!

Of course, in order to win the lottery, I have to play the lottery. And not just some penny ante easy pick once a week either. This is way too important to play it safe... after all, I'm going to be RICH, baby!!!

So I'll just start betting my entire paycheck every week.... okay, so I don't make THAT much, but anything it takes to reach the ultimate goal,right? I'll have plenty of money to pay the bills later on and I'm sure they'll all understand once they behold the sheer genius of my plan!! Besides, with all that extra money, I'll make it WELL worth their while.

My kid's trust fund? Let's throw that in the pot too... after all, it's peanuts compared to the money she'll have after Mom wins the lottery!! She'll love me for it later... and hopefully she'll understand when we're living in the car, scavenging dinner out of dumpsters. Can't get to where we're going without a little sacrifice, right???

Okay, so it's not the greatest idea of all time, and I'll probably lose everything I own and never win the lottery.... :cry:

But hey, makes as much sense as any of the utter CRAP I've seen in GD the last coupla days :crazy:

2. Just rob a bank or two. The results will be more immediate.
Or rob a diamond dealer. Sure, the haul may not be quite as lucrative, but it'll get ya out of GD much more quickly.

And if you want to, you can call yourself Miss Black, or Miss Purple, or Miss Pink. Or Ms. Black etc. But not Mr. Black. Mr. Black is another guy in another job.

3. Good Idea, but how about this
We go into it together. Each week you give me your money to invest in lottery tickets. I'll spend all of our combined cash on lottery tickets and if we win I PROMISE I'll split the winnings with you equally. It will double our chances of winning!
So, when do you want to start giving me the money?
