Why I am not interested in winning the lottery.......

So there is this lottery that has the potential to offer a billion dollars to someone....I honestly have to say I have never purchased a lottery ticket and probably never will...

I am somewhat bothered by the fact that the lottery total is what is taking over the US right now.....aren't there bigger issues Americans should be focused on? I am also bothered because it makes me sad that some think money is what makes them happy....there are such better things out there!!

I have a few reasons for not caring about the lottery.....

1) we have everything we need without a billion dollars...therefore, I have already won the "lottery"......
2) I truly don't want the responsibility of feeling the need to distribute such a large amount of money with those I love....because someone would be mad, hurt and probably never speak to me again, because it would never end fairly.....
3) its too much to think about....way too stressful, to (I am assuming) enjoy!

Would I like more money? Sure! Are there good things I could potentially do with a billion dollars? Yes! But honestly I kind of like life how it is.....

I am not sure if this all stems from trying my best to live a minimalistic (without clutter) and debt free lifestyle or if I would feel differently if we lived in a bunch of debt...its really hard to say, but I don't care to ever go back to "debt" to find out....

Also, I think that if I started "collecting" scratch off tickets, I may be consumed by it and blow my biweekly allowance on it....so for that I chose another reason not to care....

At the end of it all is money what really makes you happy?!?! 

Just something to think about....don't let me stop you from purchasing the golden ticket!!

Much Love, Alysha
