Lotto Loser / Investing Winner!

November is the only month that I ever buy a Lotto ticket. The reason is that when my Dad was alive, he always liked receiving a Lotto ticket on his birthday. Almost five years have passed since he died, and I’ve continued to buy a single ticket for his birthday, eagerly checking it to see if Dad had better Lotto luck in death than he did in life. Yeah, Nah. He didn’t! Imagine if, instead of buying a Lucky Dip, I began to buy a share investment instead of Lotto when my Dad died almost five years ago; how much would I have today?

A million dollar question?

How often have you daydreamed about winning Lotto? What would you do with it? I recently received a great email asking the question, "Would you prefer to get $1,000,000 today, or $1,000 each week for the rest of your life?"
