And the winner is.... a person from Georgia! There was one winning ticket sold for last night's Mega Millions Lottery and that winning ticket was sold in Mableton, Georgia. We don't know yet who the winner is, but their winning jackpot is estimated at $132 MILLION. Someone will be walking up a millionaire... who could it be? How will their lives change? Who's lives will they change with this windfall?The winning numbers were 21,25, 26, 50 and 51. The Mega Ball number was 22.
With the economy the way it is, with so many homeowners facing foreclosure, with so many families challenged with the basic things in life like food, it begs the question for me... will last night's winner cause abundance for others?
Abundance is a funny thing. Everyone wants it, but not everyone gets it. And when I say not everyone "gets it" I don't mean in the literal sense. I mean that the vast population of people do not undersatnd how it works. In order for you to be abundant, to feel abundant, what must you do? Be able to experience being and feeling abundant. How do you do that? Simple. Cause someone else to be and feel abundant.
If you came across someone in the street who was hungry and asking for money, and you gave them $10. Would that person now be abundant? Of course. They can now not only get something to eat, but probably eat a few meals with it. Are you abundant for being the cause of that? You bet! If you weren't abundant, how would you have been able to give someone $10? You wouldn't. You would have been the person asking for the money. Any maybe, just maybe, that person that you gave the $10 to turned around ant bought themselves a meal and gave someof that money to another hungry person. Causing someone else to be abundant. The person you gave the money to was abundant enough to cause someone else to be abundant. And the reward for that? More abundance. To who? You. The person you gave the $10 to, and who knows how many more people were affected by your act.
Lorie Scarbrough, a Buford Georgia resident, was recently laid off from work. She was a customer service representative for an auto insurance company. She is celebrating her 54th birthday today. Why do I tell you about Lorie? I don't know her, but I bet she's a pretty special lady. I bet she helps people any which way she can. I bet she gives of herself and of her money anyway she can to help others. Why do I bet that? Simple. Last week, Lorie won $5 million in the Georgia Lottery’s 15th Anniversary Millionaire Extravaganza scratch-off game. She received this abundance at a time where she couldn't have planned it better if she tried. She received this abundance at a time where she was probably causing others to be abundant. Give and you shall receive. But you can not give unless you have something to give... and we all have something to give... we just don't recognize it. Cause others to be abundant, and you shall be rewarded 100 fold... in many different ways.Congratulations to last night's Mega Millions winner! Congratulations to you all! Be the cause of others' abundance!
