1 MILLION RAND

I’ve been asked many, many questions throughout my life and to be honest with you quite a few of them have left me speechless. One such question is: What would you do if you won the lotto and got 1 Million Rand?

Okay. First of all I would jump up and down reading the message telling me I had won a thousand times. Oh and I wouldn’t be able to stop smiling. Then and only then, would I think ahead and figure out what I would do with all of that money.

Just because I’m a good girl I would put half of it in the bank account and hope that it would grow. I definitely wouldn’t put all of it in, though I would limit the amount of things I spent my money on to, let’s say, 5.

1

The very first thing I would do would be to book a meal for my family to celebrate. But not just anywhere. Instead of booking at a normal restaurant I would choose to have it in Oslo, Norway at night so we can see the northern lights. I’ve been hoping that one day I would see them since I saw a photograph of this amazing natural wonder in a magazine three years ago. With this money I’ll have a chance to see them and as an advantage I’ll have my whole family with me.

With the celebration part done I would turn my attention to something I’ve always wanted. I’d hire someone to make my bookcase into the door to a secret passage which leads to my very own theatre. Goodbye days of standing in queues to get tickets for movies. Some people may think this is something that’s only done in the movies, but as the famous statement goes: “If there’s a will there’s a way”.

Many people don’t know this about me but I would love to go skydiving. But not by myself of course, so to first of all find a professional who tandem skydive, as well as a scenic place to do it for some great views. I can already imagine the feeling of the wind tugging at my hair as I fell through the air.

So the fourth thing I would spend my money on would be on a trip to the Kruger National Park. There I could donate money to people who are working to save not only the African Unicorns but also all of the other bush animals that are being targeted by poachers. That would be really awesome, I’d post the pics I would take on my blog and send them to my friends; helping to promote the plight of these animals.

5

Just because I am a practical thinker (most of the time) I would make sure that I had some money in a fund that would be enough to pay for my sister’s and my university education. Also money for a few fun holidays because life can’t be all work and no play!

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WON A MILLION RAND??????
