Oh I have this daydream quite often! Especially when I'm walking from the busstop to my office and pass a newsagency with billboards advertising the next $30 million lottery... I never buy tickets though.
If I did, I'd prefer it be a worthwhile sum (like the $30m!!), but hey, I'd settle for less. One of the first things I would do is go buy the weekly groceries and get whatever I want without worrying how much I'm spending. I'd quit my job - not because I don't like it, but the commuting is killing me. I'd take a couple of months to just hang out at home and pay to get things done that need to be done (e.g. new carpet), go to physio 2-3 times a week and get a weekly massage to help my neck/back... just ordinary stuff. I'd invest a heap of it, including for my kids so that they can afford to live in this ridiculously expensive city when they're grown up, and after that I'd think about what I might do for the next 20 years. That's about as far as the daydream ever gets!
