If you're gonna buck the (very long) odds , you have to be consistent
and continue playing as much
and as often as you can reasonably afford !
It will barely improve your odds,
(if at all), but sometimes just
being persistent pays off !
When/if I ever DO hit it, I'll be
fishing at Cabo - see you there !
You know what? I would love to even just know someone that hit the big one. Might as well be you Big A!

As stated, I would share my good fortune with my true friends (and
YES ! I KNOW who THEY are) !
Those in real need or in a serious financial bind would get help first,
to relieve their stress and give
them peace of mind !
Close friends would be invited
on fishing trips or allowed free
use of my summer retreat for
their vacations ! Needs come
first, then wants and wishes
for whoever deserves it !

I like and would emulate your style!

Probably ! But do they all have all
their toys/property already picked
out ? I'm gonna need a huge garage and auto shop for the muscle cars
and classics including Deusenbergs,
Auburn boat-tail roadster, and a '37 Cord roadster !
That boathouse on Winnipesaukee
will have two boats in it - an 18-ft. Boston Whaler-style fishing boat,
and a late-'50s/early '60s-style
classic mahogany speed-boat, but with a modern motor and
electronics package !
Property ? The island property would be a good start; here in Arizona, in Payson, is a place called the 'Log
Mahal' may again be on the market ! For a real mind-blower, look it up on some of those on-line realty sites- they have a video-tour of the house !
Travel will be a must, both for personal cultural expansion and of course, fishing ! Might even involve
more property for a pied-a-terre in certain locations ! Who knows ?
(Just waiting on that winning ticket !)
Probably ! But do they all have all br their toys... (

Wow you have some really great dreams and some interesting car choices.
I’d like a nice center console and an RV to see the whole USA.
Had to look up that french word. Is that where you’d keep your mistress?😀

When my ship came in I was at the airport. 😢😢

Here are a few more scenic
photos; various N.H. lakes !
1&2/ Welcome Island/Meredith,
N.H. - located in Stonedam Narrows,
Meredith Bay, between Stonedam
and Pitchwood Islands ! If anyone's interested, the three-bedroom/
three-bath 'mini-mansion's going
for a measly $2.2 million !
3&4/ Wolfeboro, N.H. - Like the sign says, it is the oldest summer resort
in the country - so-called 'money
people' have been coming to Wolfeboro since WAY back in
1770, before N.H. was even a
state ! If I remember right, that
didn't happen until 1790 ! The
smaller lake behind the town
is Lake Wentworth, named for
a former English governor who
built his mansion on its' shores !
5, 6 & 7/ Locations unknown, and
the last one may not even be in N.H.
- I just thought those scenes were
really pretty !

Mistress ? What mistress ? I've been
'Happily Divorced' for over 35 years;
'I don't need no stinking mistress' !
With that kind of cash, I might try
finding/hooking up with an old girlfriend that I was especially fond
of and wanted to marry ! There's
been a huge hole in my heart ever since she moved away from our
home state !
Oh, the 'toy list' (especially the cars)
is MUCH longer than that, but I was trying to keep my post reasonably brief ! Didn't even mention my
'future' gun collection or water toy !
(See photos and look up 'Sea Breacher' for further info) !

If only ! A little too old (and out of shape) for the part, but if I did hit
the lottery, you would definitely
see me at a baccarat or chemin-
de-fer table in Monte Carlo, all
spiffed out in a custom-tailored
tux, with a cold drink in one hand
and a hot mademoiselle in the other !
Got a lot of lost time to make up for before they start throwing dirt in my face or I start farting dust !

Tell you what ! I know we're roughly
1,660 miles apart, but hold that thought ! When/if that winning
ticket ever shows up, you won't
need a phone call, text, PM or
email to be notified - you'll hear
the 'hootin' and hollerin' all the
way from here !
(You will feel a change in 'the Force' !)
Incidentally - were you planning
on towing that center console
boat behind your RV ? Might be cheaper (and more practical) to
RENT one, 'as needed' while
you're travelling !
I miss New Hampshire and those white mountains!

As do I - BIG-TIME ! But it's an expensive trip for me - just to go
for a week would cost a minimum
of about $1,200 for airfare, motel,
and car rental, plus extraneous expenses like gas, food, fishing license, bait, etc. !
Have kinda lost the motivation to
do so over the last several years -
my youngest brother and my two
best fishing/camping buddies
have all passed, and I've been at
odds with my other siblings since
around 2016 ! Not much reason
left to go home other than fishing
(for trout or fish the 'salt') and the fresh seafood !
