                    I don't like it when my husband buys  a lottery ticket every time he goes grocery shopping alone. However, I've always liked to talk about what I would want to buy if I won a lottery. After I moved to Canada, my dream plans of how to spend a million dollars are more concrete.
First, if I had a million dollars, I would buy a house or an apartment in both countries, one in Matsuyama where I'm from and the other in Vancouver where my son lives. In Vancouver, I  would prefer to buy a condominium near the airport to make my travel easier.
Second, I would travel between the two countries freely without looking for cheap flights. If I could fly back and forth more often, my daily life would be so much more enjoyable. I could also buy tickets for my family and friends to share wonderful times together.
Lastly, if I still had some money left, I would give away some of it to my parents and sisters just as a gift.
This is the current plan of how I would want to use my money if I won the lottery, and I still haven't bought a single ticket in my life.
