When most people think about hitting the jackpot, they think of money. Whether it’s playing lotto, or maybe the Publishers Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, it’s all about the green. I too used to think like that. I have only played the lottery a handful of times in my lifetime, usually when the jackpot is at an all time record. When I play, I only buy one ticket. If I’m going to be lucky, then one ticket should do. But as time went on without a call from the lottery commission, I knew it wasn’t meant to be. So for me, hitting the jackpot has a different meaning. I believe I have hit the jackpot because I couldn’t ask for anything more out of life. I worked hard for 30 years in the financial industry and saved my money. I saved like crazy, even when it meant giving up luxuries which were never that important to me in the first place. I married, raised two children, and now, after all this time, left my career of over 30 years and pursued some of the things I wanted to do. I now work in a profession that I truly enjoy, I travel, I am able to provide for my family, and I have some very good friends. What more can someone ask for. While winning millions of dollars would be nice, I don’t think it would alter my life one bit. Sure I’d have more money for my family, but I really don’t think it would give me any more pleasure than I have today.
Hi, Jon,
Absolutely, what more can a man ask for in life. I totally agree with Professor Incantalupo on this one “It sounds like you have hit the jackpot already!” Truly speaking I would really love to hit the jackpot. Last week I was at the Casino and I missed the jackpot by a quarter of an inch.

What a great attitude! It sounds like you have hit the jackpot already!
