I think it would be nice to be able to actually fund a self-publishing career, without worrying about how I'd pay for everything. And maybe fix some thing in my house that need updating. And send my kids to college. But overall, I don't know that I'd go crazy. You always hear about the people who win and spend all their money and end up broke, anyway. I wouldn't want to be that kind of person.Lara Schiffbauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546286607078965432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-69929930917400672292016-01-08T14:34:01.152-06:002016-01-08T14:34:01.152-06:00I've purchased only one lottery ticket ever.
