I bought a lottery ticket last night. I'm trying to clean the house, so I stopped to check the numbers so I could throw it out.
I had the first number. Wow, this never happens.
I had the second number.
My heart actually stopped for a minute. I have the first two numbers! OMG! I've done it! I've won $16 million dollars! In that split second, where all breathing and beating of heart have stopped, I feel my life start to flip in a way I never imagined...
The third number? Nope.
Neither the 4th, 5th or 6th.
Not even a free ticket. Back to cleaning.
But that fraction of a second. That moment of heart stoppage. The lump in my throat. Never have I felt that way.
That was worth the $2. In the meantime, I am no less blessed than I was 5 minutes ago. And one more piece of paper can be thrown out.

Haha! I have that moment sometimes too. I look at the Mega Ball number first and if I have it, my heart always flutters a bit.
Ah well. Maybe someday. :p
