» Unsure Future for One Dollar Jackpot | One Dollar Jackpot - 25 Words or Less Competition

Well it’s been a nice weekend. I went away to a conference and got sunburned. I know, you’re thinking, ‘typical conference where you don’t go to the conference bit but to the beach all day’ but you would be wrong. I was outside for lunch for 25 minutes and my nose, arms and knees got toasted! It wasn’t even hot. I didn’t see it coming - I thought, ‘I’ll be fine just here it’s nice in the sun’. But alas I am now itchy and my nose is red. Like Rudolph. So much for powers of prediction! I should have known even without being able to tell the future.

Today it’s cold - at least I’m at work where I can sit inside and not wish I was outside.

The future of winners on this website is uncertain. Many people have predicted their winning the jackpot for the day - you can’t all be right because only one of you can win. I’m sure you’re all very professional future-tellers and whatnot but your skills of creativity aren’t the greatest. Someone predicted ‘Obama ‘08′, I can clearly say that the media in Australia thinks that either Ralph Nader or George W. Bush will win. Like Obama even has a chance!

Here’s a few predictions I have of my own:

• Fox News will become the leading authority on hard hitting issues.
• The Internet will drop in influence as the development of e-paper brings back encyclopaedias and the door to door salesman of said encyclopaedias.
• The USA will appeal to China through the UN for protection against the invading Canadian army in just 20 years.
• The world will end on 32rd of Janugustber 2043.
• A new ‘world’ calendar will be introduced before that (along with grammar standards).

Though I think them hardly likely, they’re predictions none-the-less.

So without further ado (but called padding) I would like to bring to your attention the winning entry by Anca. Anca’s vision of the future was one I could subscribe to. I quite enjoy the idea of going on a bus.

What will the future hold for us?
Fresh air again - we’ll all take the bus!

Anca do you live anywhere near LA or Beijing? I suspect the lack of fresh air may have something to do with that!

Congratulations on the win, why not head to an oxygen bar and get a nice suck in of fresh oxygen. But remember, don’t breathe it all at once!
