Why I could never win the lotto

I'll never win the lotto for these 3 simple reasons:

1. I don't buy lotto tickets (never have and never will)

2. A varsity friend of mine did a project as part of her first year mechanical engineering course. They worked out the probability of winning the lotto and in their findings discovered that if you used all the different combinations of numbers on different tickets then you would win the lotto but you would make a loss because the amount of combinations are far more than the amount in the lotto pool.
3. Because I'd rather see a rainbow and that is what this blog post is actually all about my rainbow....

...See sometimes I do dream about winning the lotto and fantasizing about all the money. The only problem is that soon the smirk on my face turns into a frown as I try to work out what to do with all the "money." What would I buy first? Should I first pay of my debts and then spoil myself or the other way around? Am I supposed to share the money with my husband, sister, parents, church, friends and poor people? Do you tell people that you won the lotto? Do you switch banks? Do you invest the money locally or do you stuff it in a duffel bag and head to Switzerland where the exchange rate will anyway render it useless? I can go on forever but you probably get the point - winning the lotto would be to stressful for me.

So I've decided to wish for simpler but much nicer things in life - like seeing a rainbow (not because of the pot of gold at the end of it). I wondered how long it would take for me to see one and not even two weeks after I've been fantasising about seeing a rainbow my wish was granted this morning. We were staying at the Bakubung camp in the Pilanesberg and woke up at 5 to go for a game drive. The first thing that we saw was this beautiful rainbow, followed by a sunrise, a herd of elephants and three rhinos. So there you have it Lady Luck, I'd rather have my rainbow thank you very much.

Tata ma chance, Tata ma rainbow!
