Its Never Enough
The results of the first lottery was being broadcast ..and we had the first three numbers . We were already debating how to spend our first million before the next number was called . Oh well perhaps next time , which of course continued for the next …too many years . But we did win ! Informed by long distance call which cost more than our winnings .
We always had the same numbers , so couldn’t stop in case they came good . Now living abroad our ‘bets ‘ were placed for us ; with the hope that we would actually be told ! We never were; and our agent never exhibited new found wealth. It always kept the dream alive , so perhaps it was worth it .
Time moves on , and the prize can be over euro 100 million. So we are off again, but this time with random numbers . Third time lucky , we have won again ; but only enough to cover the bet that day . Would the jackpot be enough , so we started to plan .
A super yacht is out , the harbour in Argeles is not deep enough . There would then be the costs of the crew , a distant mooring and another house . Not enough.
So relocation to our own Caribbean Island . Perhaps with his Virgin money problems, Richard’s would be for sale . ( As part of the super rich we would be on first name terms ). Not enough for either !
Maybe we could buy our current view , Les Albères . French land prices would preclude a serious share of the massif . Not enough .
Of course then there would be family, and all new found friends ; and naturally a reward for my loyal blog readership . Not enough ?
Perhaps it would be better to wait until the jackpot reached USA levels : USD 1.586 billion , shared between three , perhaps that would be enough …. but I wouldn’t want to share it !.
It’s never enough.
We have a good mooring spot on the Bridgewater Canal, where we would be delighted to show off our new (well, shared) toy!
