Tomorrow's the Dream Jumbo Lotto Draw, and I sure did buy a couple of tickets. I would not be winning this one, re the odds considering Japan's population of about 127,000,000 and considering the aging population of about 25% and the current economic situation, expect a lot of ticket holders!
What to do with the prize money? Would you change your FB status to.. "I JUST WON 2M US$!" or quietly disappear and just suddenly post in FB photos of yourself on a yacht (yours of course) somewhere?
Here's the breakdown: (the whole bloody lot is tax-free!)
100,000,000 PHP X 1 lucky bastard
25M PHP X 2 instant millionaires who'd have instant friends as well
49,000 PHP X 199 who'd host a Baranggay party, but would not be responsible for any llives lost...
49,000,000 PHP X 3 who'd fear for their lives, yes you would if you live in Manila and word breaks out!
4,900,000 PHP X 10 who'd be the next Baranggay Captain, or heck... the ALL HAIL THE Congressperson in the upcoming elections!
5,000 PHP X 10,000 mall invaders
1,500 PHP X 100,000 who'd pay some petty dues
150 PHP X 1M happy texters
The lottery's real here and some of the big time winners have published self-help books on how to cope with one's sudden change of fortune. Someone told me recently, "better get a new job"... which makes perfect sense too, huh?!
Oh well then, I'll be sending out my resume soon but will be checking tomorrow's results as well.
