Fantasy works precisely because it's fantasy. The drawbacks of reality are conveniently omitted. Nobody likes to be dragged down to earth because we're constantly reminded of it everyday. Only through dreams can we feel alive and rise above the grind. And that's why we chase silly ideas like winning the lottery.
I spent too much time fantasizing about what I'd do with the hypothetical winnings than focusing on my job. With that much money, I can do anything. It's fun to dream, but alas, we must focus on the bitter world before us.
My dream is help others dream. Without ideals, there's nothing to look forward to. So, even if I didn't win the jackpot, that doesn't mean I should stop fantasizing. It just means I have to get more creative. Besides, everybody knows that winning the lottery at the end of the story is a cop out. Like everyone else, I gotta do this the long and hard way.
