I always buy Princess Margaret Home Lottery tickets and this year I won $100.  Well of course I was hoping for the Muskoka cottage, but I guess I'll take what I can get.  I'm having a moral dilemma - I want to go blow it on something totally frivolous, but I figure I should go down to PMH and donate it for that rapid BC diagnosis thing they have going.

mke, do what makes you feel good.  By purchasing a ticket you've already donated to the hospital.  I've read about the fast track for bc dx.  It sounds like a wonderful program which hopefully will become the norm.  (Actually, I'd rather the norm be a cure.)  However, I for one vote........blow it with a clear conscience.

As Sharon said, you've already donated by buying the ticket.  Now you should enjoy your winnings.  Do something frivolous and have fun!

I haven't spent it yet.  I just keep it in the back of my mind as an excuse should I want to be reckless.
