Another opportunity missed

I love to watch "Antiques Road Show" but it always leaves me daydreaming. What if if found a fabulously valuable painting tucked in the rafters in my attic? What if one of many pieces of old silver or glassware handed down from my grandmother is really a rare old piece of incredible value? Is there a forgotten piece of jewelry tucked away somewhere? Then reality pops the 'what if'' bubble. I don't own a house so no rafters for things to hide in, I don't have anything particularly old and valuable, although, even as I say that I realize that, considering my age, anything I've owned since my youth is rapidly approaching antique status. Maybe all I need to do is wait a few more years. In the meantime, maybe I'll buy a power ball ticket - about the same odds of great wealth, I think.
