Unnessary Disappointment

Posted on November 29, 2007 By Tom No Comments on Unnessary Disappointment

On my way to work there is a big sign that shows how high the lottery has gotten.  Lately I’ve been watching it grow larger and larger, but I just hadn’t gotten around to buying a ticket.  It finally reached 155 million for last night’s drawing, and I fully intended to buy a ticket, but again, I let it slip.

This morning the sign was back down to a measly 15 million.  Someone else had won big, and I had missed out.   It was amazing – I felt so sure that if I had only bought a ticket, I would have been sure to win.  The momentary disappointment I felt was disproportionate to my chances of actually winning anything.  I guess it’s feelings like these that keep the lottery in business in the first place.
