Oh no!
Last night I had this dream where I won ten thousand dollars.
Ten. Thousand. Dollars.
And when I awoke this morning, it wasn’t until I wandered out to the letterbox, coffee in hand, that I went “Oh SHIT! It was just a dream!”
I don’t know how I won the money in my dream. I hadn’t entered a competition or anything, and I know I’ve never played lotto in my life. Not even in my dreams.
Playing the lottery is just far too confusing to me. You walk into a newsagents, get up to the lottery ticket and scratchy desk, and say:
“I’ll buy a ticket please.”
“What ticket, love?”
“For uh…trying to win the money.”
“Ok. Powerball? Lotto? Ozlotto?”
“Uh..”
“Pools? Lucky?”
“Um…yes.”
She gives me a funny look and then must make some sort of decision for me, and continues to the next round of questions.
“Standard, system or super combo?”
“Uh….standard.”
“You sure love? System and super combo increase your chances of winning by playing a wider range of number combos.”
*blinks* “Yes, ok, that one.”
“Ok, now, system 7, system 8 or system 9?”
“Is one better? What’s the difference?”
“How much money do you want to spend?”
“Uh…$5.00?”
“System 7. This system covers 7 numbers in all possible 6 number combos over 7 games. System 8 covers 8 numbers, in all possible 6 number combos over 28 games.”
“Oh, well system 8 sounds good, right?”
“It’s $21.00″
“Oh. System 7 then.”
“Ok. Now choose your starting draw.”
*blank stare* “…”
“Ok, I’ll put it down as tonight’s. Now I’ll put one game, yes? Good. And multi draw? The number of draws you want to purchase tickets for….nevermind. I’ll put one. Now you need to choose 7 numbers between 1 and 38 inclusive. Inclusive, you got that? So you can pick 1 and 38 if you want. Not that I’m recommending them mind, just letting you know.”
*another blank stare*
*crickets chirp*
“….Actually, you know what? Nevermind the ticket. It’s very confusing. I think I’ll just have this Kinder Surprise chocolate egg please. They have some funny creatures in them now! I want the fish with the big mouth! He’s awesome!”
She gives me a sad, exhausted look and hands over the egg.
So there’ll be no winning lotto ticket for me.
Bugger.
I wish I’m had a dream that I LOST $10,000, so at least when I woke up I’d feel glad that I had some money!
