"Last night, I had a dream about winning the lottery.
In my dream, I sat on my couch with a cheap lottery ticket. The TV showed the winning numbers. 4, 12, 23, 31, 38, 42.
I looked at my ticket. My hands started shaking.
4. Yes.
12. Yes!
23. YES!
I jumped up from the couch. 31. 38. 42. All six! I matched all six numbers!
"I WON!" I screamed to my empty room. "I WON! I WON!"
I ran around my apartment like a crazy person. I called my mom. "Mom! I won the lottery! I'm rich!"
She laughed. "That's nice, dear. Don't forget your coat."
My ticket was worth fifty million dollars. FIFTY MILLION.
The next morning in my dream, reporters came to my door. Cameras flashed. "How does it feel?" they shouted.
"AMAZING!" I said.
I quit my job by phone. My boss's voice was funny. "You can't just quit!" he said. "Oh yes I can," I said. "I'm rich!"
I bought a big house on a hill. A red sports car. A boat I did not even know how to drive.
I gave money to my parents. I gave money to my sister. I gave money to charity. Helping people felt better than the boat.
Every morning, I woke up in my huge bed, looked out at the ocean, and pinched myself. Was this real?
Pinch. Ouch. It felt real.
Then I really woke up.
My first thought: "Where is my money?"
My second thought: "Where is my boat?"
My room was small. My wallet was empty. My boss would still be waiting at work.
But you know what? I smiled anyway. Because for one night, I lived like a king.
Tonight, maybe I will buy a real lottery ticket. Just one. You never know."
