My wife wanted me to buy 5 lottery tickets.  I pray that if I win anything it's a few thousand or a million.  I don't want the big prize.  I don't need or want the aggravation.  There would be people coming out of the woodwork probably and I couldn't live where I live.  And I wouldn't begin to know how to manage that much money.  Then too, would we be in danger from people wanting to extort from us?  No, I think winning that lottery would be more problems than it's worth.

Now winning a million or a hundred thousand would be fine.  It wouldn't attract attention and most people wouldn't think of asking for money as it isn't that much.  I could buy a few of the few things I want and my wife could have the remaining to give away.
