Imagine…On the way to school this morning,
you stopped by the gas station. After you
purchased a coke and a snack, you had
exactly one dollar left in your pocket. You
decided to spend it on a lottery ticket. Once
you got to class, you sat at your desk and
scratched off the boxes, one by one. When
you got to the last one you realized: You’ve
won $500,000! What would you do? How
would you feel? What would be your
thoughts, knowing you just won half a million
dollars?!?
