Are you really poor ?

Do you really need to win the lotto jackpot?

How do you define the word POOR?

How do you define the word RICH?

Now while searching for the latest news about lotto, I found a story about a father and an innocent son on how poor people live.

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the province with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad.”
“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah,” said the son.
“So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.

The son answered: “I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.

“We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
“We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
“We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.”
The boy’s father was speechless.
Then his son added, “Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.”

Now, do you still need to win the lotto jackpot?
Thanks to Dipendalal for this story.

Lucky money

I found another interesting story about a lotto winner who won almost 20 million pesos, and just gave away his lotto winnings.

Maybe this lucky old man was thinking, he would just set aside a small portion of his winnings and anytime now his going to die anyway.
what if he distribute the money to his relatives and neighbors, and that will make them all happy?

HANOI – A poverty-stricken 97-year-old man in Vietnam won up to $400,000(20 million pesos) in a lottery, sparking a frenzy among relatives eager to get a piece of his new-found wealth.

A neighbor in southern Ho Chi Minh City and local officials had to step in to stop the elderly man from giving away the windfall to people who had swarmed to his home.

Nguyen Van Het bagged the prize after spending 100,000 dong (just over $5) on lottery tickets from "lucky money" he received ahead of the Lunar New Year.
Small packets of "lucky money" are a traditional Tet gift.

Thanh Nien reported Het's winnings at 7.6 billion dong, or $400,000, a massive sum in a country where the annual per capita income is about $1,000.

The official, who declined to be named, said local authorities had to intervene and restore order around the man's home because so many relatives or people claiming to be relatives had turned up asking for money.

Het and his sick wife had been receiving special financial support from authorities because they lived below the poverty line..

By the way this old man used a lucky money to bet the lotto. How about asking a gift from a friend, instead of a material gift, how about a lucky money?

Francisco was arrested in Cuiaba in western Brazil. Police learned the murder plot when they monitored the phone conversations between the two men accused of working as guns-for-hire.
