This isn’t the winning ticket??<\/p>\n

I didn’t win the lottery, but a group of people from my office won the New Jersey Mega Millions drawing on March 3. Ten people. Rumor has it they are getting $14 million each.<\/p>\n

Who hasn’t said the words, “If I win the lottery I would…?” (And usually the first thing stated is that you would quit your job on the spot, right?)<\/p>\n

Well, has anyone ever seriously dreamed about what they would do if they DID NOT win the lottery but ten people that they knew DID?<\/p>\n

“If ten people I knew won the lottery and I didn’t, I would… wait for them in the parking garage and rob them.”<\/p>\n

“If ten people I knew won the lottery and I didn’t, I would… be depressed and talk shit on them all day.”<\/p>\n

“If ten people I knew won the lottery and I didn’t, I would… quit my job on the spot for a split second just to see what it felt like.”<\/p>\n

“If ten people I knew won the lottery and I didn’t, I would… pretend that I was in a Wonka movie and sing loudly, ‘I’ve got a Golden Ticket!'”<\/p>\n

“If ten people I knew won the lottery and I didn’t, I would… probably post a dumb picture of myself on my website and let everyone know I was a loser.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
