Lucky winners!

Have you ever dreamt how your life would transform if you won a lottery? For me, it would be difficult to imagine what life would be like, but there are a few things I would absolutely do.

I would obviously start with big investments - a nice car and a fancy house in a good neighbourhood. Next, I would spend some money on my education and various training courses that I find essential in today's world. For example, MS Office, Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator, English, web programming, etc. Finally, I would use most of the money to go on road trips with my friends.

Apart from that, I would definitely save half of the money for a rainy day because you never know what might happen tomorrow.

After all, it wouldn't be right to spend all on myself, so I would donate money to charity and people in need.

Everything considered, I'm utterly sure that money can't buy happiness and as Jim Carrey once said: 'I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer'.
