Look, I’m not saying I expect to win the lottery… but if there’s even a chance I could go from counting pennies at the gas pump to rolling up in a brand-new truck? You bet I’m buying a ticket. And as a single mom who works hard for every dime, I already know exactly how I’d blow my jackpot.
Would I make some “responsible” choices? Sure. But after that? Oh, I’d be living large—and you better believe my kid would, too. So, in case my numbers ever hit, here’s exactly what’s going down:
1. A House Where Everything Actually Works
No more leaky faucets, no more “just jiggle the handle,” no more waiting for the dryer to finally give up. I want a house with a big kitchen, a bathroom I don’t have to share, and a backyard where my kid can run wild without me worrying about traffic.
Current reality: My apartment where the dishwasher is just decoration and the neighbor’s music doubles as my bedtime lullaby.
2. A Truck That Screams “I Made It”
Forget a sensible SUV—I want a truck. A big truck. One that can haul whatever I want, take me on road trips, and make my ex do a double-take when he sees me roll by. Heated seats? Yep. Backup camera? You know it. Don't forget the bass tracker that I will be towing!
First stop after winning the lottery? The dealership.
Mama’s getting her dream truck.” 🚙💨
Current reality: My car that sounds like I have open pipes on a SUV and has a permanent backseat mess courtesy of my kid.
3. A Vacation That Doesn’t Involve Packing PB&J’s
You know what I want? A real vacation. Somewhere with a beach, unlimited snacks, and no WiFi so my kid actually looks up from their tablet. And best believe I’m upgrading to first class—no more budget airlines where my knees touch my chin.
“No more road trips with gas station snacks
I’m booking a real vacation.” 🌴🍹
Current reality: Driving to the "Big City" is pretty much our vacation.
4. A Closet That Doesn’t Just Consist of Work Clothes
I want clothes that don’t have stains, holes, or the words “company logo” on them. Maybe even—gasp—shoes that aren’t just sneakers or steel-toe boots.
Goodbye work hoodies,
hello wardrobe that actually makes me feel like an adult.” 👗✨
Current reality: Three pairs of jeans and a hoodie I bought from my old job two years ago.
5. A Chauffeur for My Teen—So I’m Off the Hook
6. A Deep Freezer Stocked With All the Good Food
You know what rich people have? A second fridge. You know what I’d have? A deep freezer packed with steaks, frozen pizzas, and enough chicken nuggets to last a year. No more rationing the last of the pop.
No more ‘Mom, there’s nothing to eat!’
This fridge is STOCKED. 🍕🥩
Current reality: A fridge that somehow only contains ketchup, a half-drunk juice box, and one lonely slice of cheese.
7. A House Cleaner—Because I Deserve It
I don’t care if I can clean—I don’t want to. If I win, I’m hiring someone to scrub the floors, wash the dishes, and fold the laundry that’s been sitting in the basket for a week.

Current reality: Me, debating if I can “let it go another day.”
8. A College Fund So My Kid Can Chase Their Dreams
Yeah, I’d go a little wild with my winnings, but at the end of the day? Everything I do is for my kid. If I hit the jackpot, their future is set. No student loans, no struggling—just chasing their dreams without worrying about the bills.
Current reality: Teaching them to appreciate the magic of scholarships.
Final Thought: So, When’s the Next Drawing?
Until then, I’ll be scratching tickets and daydreaming. But if I ever do win, you’ll know where to find me—out by the lake, in a truck that’s too nice, sipping a drink I didn’t have to make myself.
What’s the first thing you’d buy if you hit the jackpot? Let me know in the comments—unless you say “investments” because, honestly, boooooring. 😂💰
