3 ways to play with your cash if you won $1,000 a day for life

Life would be a lot more fun with an extra $1,000 a day.

Just imagine, getting your morning coffee and not worrying whether you should go for the elaborate latte or the skimpy tea. Taking a cab because it’s raining and you can afford to keep your hair looking fantastic. Buying that outfit from your favourite boutique instead of the cheap knock-off because you can finally afford it.

It doesn’t have to be a dream. DAILY GRAND is a national lottery game that gives you the chance to win $1,000 a day for the rest of your life. Tickets cost $3, and if you match all five main numbers and the Grand Number, you’ll win the prize of a lifetime.

You can also enter the DAILY GRAND contest, which could give you $1,000 cash and a chance to win a grand prize of $10,000. All you have to do tell DAILY GRAND what you would do with $1,000 in one day.

Need some help figuring out what you would do? We’ve found some ways that you could spend $1,000 in one day – because it doesn’t hurt to dream.

Take a vacation

Why bother spending your $1,000 at home? You can fly down to Las Vegas for one day – the flight is less than three hours – and spend it there instead. You can get last minute flights down to Vegas for less than $500 for the round trip, so you can spend the rest partying it up. Get lunch at Olives above Lake Bellagio, watch the volcanic explosion at the Mirage, or even check out a Cirque du Soleil show before hopping onto the plane back home.

Splurge on pizza

Pizza doesn’t have to be your cheap weekday fix. One elaborate creation from Steveston Pizza in Richmond, called the Seenay, costs a whopping $850 for a 12″ pie. The pizza is covered in a medley of tiger prawns, lobster ratatouille, and smoked steelhead, with dollops of Russian Osetra caviar and shaved Italian white truffles. Once you add in a few drinks and the tip for this over-the-top meal, you’ll be spending $1,000 in no time.

Relax at a luxury spa

You don’t have to spend $1,000 on an experience or dinner – you can spend that money for relaxing instead. Instead, you can spend a day at CHI, the luxury spa in the Shangri-La Hotel Vancouver. Start off your treatment with a West Coast Detox package, that includes a Sea Kelp Soak, Seaweed Body Polish, Detoxifying Sea Wrap, Wild Seaweed Oil Massage, and Wild Seaweed Facial. But by this point you’ve only spent half your money. You still have $500 to get a deluxe manicure and pedicure, a therapeutic massage to knead out your sore muscles, and enjoy an aromatic steam bath.

All this stuff sounds pretty awesome, but what if you could see it happening in real life? DAILY GRAND gave Daily Hive $1,000 to spend in one day – and this is what it looked like.
