A lot of people see the lottery as a way to make their dreams come true—a chance to start living their dream life without having to worry about money. This fantasy isn’t lost on artists, who’ve written a lot of songs about the excitement, fear, and hope that come with winning the lottery.
Dreams of Fortune
A lot of songs about the lottery paint colorful pictures of what might happen. “The Lottery Song” by Harry Nilsson is a fun song about a young couple who dream of getting a big house and nice cars. Latto’s “Lottery (ft. LU KALA)” is more modern, and it brags about how winning the lottery would set you free financially.
Besides the Money
You don’t have to buy homes and yachts when you win the lottery. “The Winning Dream” by Seamus Moore is a touching story about an older man who wins a lot of money and uses it to get his marriage back on track. But “Lottery Winners on Acid” by The Crimea is more cautious and looks at the bad things that can happen when you get rich quickly.
A Music Track for Every Dream
It doesn’t matter if the songs are about the happiness of winning the lottery or the gentle warning that money isn’t everything. They show the hopes and fears that this universal fantasy brings up. Put on your favorite lottery song the next time you buy a ticket and let the music fuel your dreams.
