Someone I know at work recently hit the big one, the payload, the splash me with champagne and let me dance around naked.

A belgium national on his way to the UK via ferry filled in a prize draw stub and placed it into box. After week’s/month a letter is forwarded on, asking whether he would like a cheque or a bank transfer of the 5 million he’d won!

Now this guy talks a lot and because of this he’s not exactly popular. But when the guys a millionaire he’s your bestest friend in the whole wide world. Normally when the MD comes into work he has his own entrance at the back to walk into the office. But even the MD took the long walk to see his favourite worker.

And he lived happily ever after. Yeh right, the interesting thing was how well he was being treated by everyone. Everyone was happy, a good mood all round. And this guy, over the moon is an understatement. He was dancing, awaiting the hours which felt like days until he could get his hands on the money.

Now I was working with the guy and noticed just how happy he was. There was nothing more to him, he wasn’t a millionaire yet. But there was something different about him.

To be a millionare for a day…

Money talks, earns respect, praise and a whole heap I probably can’t even imagine. It turned out to be a scam. Where the scamster lottery company wanted 10,000 or 20,000 upfront before they would pass the cash on. A closer look into revealed it was definitely a rip off. But thats not the point of this story. I think he got second best, yeh the money would have been at the top of the list. But he got to experiance what it feels like to be a millionaire for just one day.
