I couldn't believe it. I bought a ticket while visiting my friend and she called to tell me I won. I couldn't believe her for the first 5 minutes. I am so excited, I've already begun looking at flights out there to get the money....yippee. Oh I am spending it by the second.. New house, new car, bills paid for me and my mom. Mom can quit work Oh my God it's just too much excitement for me to handle. Then I woke up and realized I was only dreaming. But for a few minutes I wasn't sure..lol Has this every happened to you.

Well, people don't have to continue to come to mylot just because they are poor me I would see it as this even if she did win the money which she didn't that she would still continue to come to mylot just to either keep us informed about all the great stuff she is getting or just to talk money may buy friends but it always doesn't buy friends you can talk to and be real with.

That is so funny. As I was reading it I was thinking, "what are you doing on mylot then?" If I just won I don't know what I'd be doing, but it probably wouldn't be spending my time on the internet or mylot. I was just about to congratulate you, then I got to the bottom of the post. I have had similar dreams where something great happens and when I wake up I'm not sure if it really happened or not. Thanks for sharing.

Oh!! I was so happy for you, then I finished reading the post. Oh well, at least you did have a little happiness from it. Yes I have had dreams where I somehow own a beautiful house or find money or other good things happen and then I wake up.

lol...I read the first part with my mouth open until I saw the last sentence. This never happened to me, but if it did, I would be really disapointed.

I would be disapointed also if I dreamed I won that much money and thought I would finally be able to take care of my mom,so she could quit her job and stop working so hard.I think I would just rather go back to bed and start all over again.But hope you win for real next time.

Do you know I believed you in the first until I reached the end and realized that you was dreaming, for me no I can't dream like this because if I wake up and found myself without these money I may die so why I do this for myself I dream only by small things that I can make it happen. Good luck if you believed yourself you may win I believe in this.

LOL! I wonder how many friend requests you got after posting this. Someone else posted a similar topic awhile back where if you didn't read the entire message you would thikn that they won, and they said that they got tons and tons of friend requests right after they posted. Probably people wanting a share of the money ^_~ Man, I'm so sorry that it was only a dream. Wouldn't it be amazing to win that much money? I would just be on cloud nine. I admit that there are things in life more important than money - especially - but having a bit of extra cash never hurts, lol! ^_~

By default, this has become a great post to see who actually reads the entire post...a few have fallen for it already...hope your dream does come true someday.

Yes, it should be quite interesting. I am hoping to see people are changing and actually reading posts rather that just replying trying to make money...lol Darn I hope it comes true.

Okay yes I have had this dream too, but I must say that winning a lottery won't make you happy forever, money is temporary but inner peace is what makes life rich, I love money don't get me wrong, and yeah I would love to win a lottery, but I don't play so I don't see how I can win, and I hate paying a dollor against unlikely odds, it would be better to put that money in a savings account and watch it grow, so okay I guess you want to go back to sleep now. later

Good one- you got a lot of people with that one, I have dreamt of that- it's really depressing to wake up and realize it's just a dream- sometimes they are so real you have to sit there for a few minutes wondering. Well maybe you will win the lottery soon - myabe the dream was a vision... remember you have to be in it to win it- Good Luck.

This was very well written, and I do like the fact that you made people read all the way to the end! Unfortunately, it has happened to me, several times! I hate that dream..or is it more like a nightmare, since it isnt true?!

well can only wish it could have been true but don't stop dreaming. the more you dream the better your chance of it coming true. anyone would be happy is he gets that much money well i can do a lot with that huge sum of cash. why don't you try it for real get some ticket and try your luck. see you around bye

yeah, when I was little My mom gave me a dollar. I went in to Super A foods, and I bought a ticket, yes I won the lottery for my parents in me, Even though my parents wanted me to live in California. And they moved to New York. they said as soon as i go to college they are giving half the 70 million dollars. I wanna tell them give 1/3 third. I mean i don't want my parents to not spend alot. its theirs to keep.

hahaha...lolz. every body dreams of things that they are desperate for, and start living in the infatuations of it. those dreams start taking charge on us and we actually start getting the dreams about the things for what we have dreamt of. such things have happened to me too... like when i was a kid, i was desperate for a dairy milk chocolate, i was too furious for it that i actually dreamt of eating dozens of chocolates in my dream and guess what... i felt very much satisfied... but as soon as i got up, with my dream realized(in my dream), i wasn't sure too... actually i am thankful to that dream coz i had a sudden satisfaction, and my desire was almost virtually fulfilled. so its good to have such dreams right????
