Lottery

I accidently stumbled across a study that shows 60% of men would leave their wives behind if they won the lottery. Granted it was strictly the result of the men being polled, but they do put a lot of time into picking the polling pool to emulate real life. So, the question all married women must ask is: am I in the 60% left behind, or the 40% getting to share the wealth?

Personally, I like to think that I am in the minority. I have my reasons for believing this, none of which rely on the ridiculousness of love. I'm thinking more of it as Jeff not buying a lottery ticket without me being present. He sometimes advises me to buy them when the jackpot gets really big, or we stop together to buy one on a whim. It happens very rarely. But, to the best of my knowledge, Jeff is not throwing a dollar or two in the pot daily for lottery tickets. Thus, we'd both be a party to the millions. Me, being slightly stingy, Jeff knows if we stay married he will get to spend the majority of the money. If he left, I would get an even share, or maybe even sue for more, of the jackpot.

Beyond this, we have discussed the wondrous things we would do if we ever won the lottery. Sure, a pent house in NYC and a golf course to call our are on the list, but leaving was never part mentioned. Jeff is incredibly honest, and I have no doubt he would share that plan with me.

I know personally, I would not leave. I'm sure I would make a hell of a sugar mamma, but I couldn't imagine rolling around in my millions without my husband.
