I hope I do not upset any one with this question but I'm going to asked it any way you have two choices two pick from

If you could choose to hit the lottery lets say for 1 million dollars or to have all the following

peace of mind ,good health and true love which would you pick ?

For me to be honest I would have to think about it for a little bit,a million dollars O what you could do with that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I work two jobs ,struggling to keep up with the bills,like most people but I think the million dollars would be a dream come true

But call me crazy I would pick peace of mind good health and true love

alot of people say if you have a million dollars then you would have peace of mind maybe but money will not buy you good health and it sure can not buy you true love

a million dollars cannot give you a hug or kind word when you need it

a million dollars can not stop a deadly disease from taking your life

So call me crazy but I would pick peace of mind,good health,and true love

then what i would hope for that some day i would meet my true love and togethere the two of could have it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

have a winning day

That's easy! Anyone I'm going to feel true love for will have at least a million dollars. So I'd kill 2 birds with one stone by going for the true love package, and get the good health and peace of mind thrown in.

I've always said that you could have 10 billion in the bank, but If you're lying in a hospital bed with a long term illness, all the money in the world can't help you leave the hospital, except make the short time left as comfortable as possible.

As far as your question is concerned, It's hard to answer because you don't provide enough information for me to make a wise choice. When you present two choices, one being a million bucks, or health, peace of mind and love, what does this exactly mean?

Does it mean If I choose the money, I have the possibility of aquiring an illness in the package deal?

OR

Does it mean If I choose health, peace of mind, and true love, I'm guaranteed to never get sick?

I'd have to read the fine print before making a decision...lol...

IF you choose the money then that what you get i was just using the illness as a example on what the money can not do for you

and if you choose the health , peace of mind and true love that is what you will have

remember you have a choice of the two

have a winning day

money will not buy you good health

More money allows you to buy more healthy food, hire a good cook, hire a dietitian or buy food from a specialized healthy vegetarian restaurant. There is one near my house. Too bad I can't go there everyday.

a million dollars can not stop a deadly disease from taking your life

More money allows you to be able to afford medical treatment that is otherwise unavailable if you don't have insurance or have one but your insurance company refuses to pay.

I don't really believe in "true love" as being something like soulmates or anything, so that's not an issue for me. And I actually enjoy being single and don't really care for a family, especially in the world today.

Peace of mind could be taken care of with money, or at least cut down on almost all problems. There's dealing with people wanting your money, but I'd take that as a problem since there's ways to stay away from those people very easily.

The health issue would be the only one I'd be iffy about. If it's me keeping my current state of health and my future health would change the way it would without money, then I would take the money. If you're going to give me millions but also give me some crazy cancer or disease that will kill me early and I wouldn't be able to really do anything with the money, then of course I'd take the good health. Of course if you would simply take away years of my life, I would possibly just take the money so I could live my shorter life to the fullest and be able to do many exciting things and I could still give the rest to others in my family that could use it.

Unfortunately buying lottery tickets doesn't give you a choice between being rich or healthy, it only gives you a chance at being rich and a very small one at that. If you don't enjoy playing and dreaming about your chances of winning a jackpot then you probably shouldn't play because that's the most you're likely to ever get out of playing.
