When most people realize that their lottery ticket isn’t a winner, most people simply it throw it away. For Lauren Was and Adam Eckstrom of “Ghost of a Dream”, discarded lottery tickets sparked an idea that turned into an incredible art project about unfulfilled dreams.

“We started to collect tons and tons and talked about what people dream about when they play the lottery,” they said. “Then we did some serious research to find out what people buy when they do win the lottery.” The duo concluded that the top three things people buy when they win the lottery are the “Dream Car,” the “Dream Vacation,” and the “Dream Home.“

The first installation Was and Eckstrom decided to create was a full scale Hummer H3. The artists specifically matched the price of the total lottery tickets used to the actual dollar value of each item. The Hummer “Dream Car” is made from $39,000 worth of lottery tickets. Nice!

During Kobe’s trip to China the folks at Kicks.Cn presented him with ceramic Zoom Kobe IV’s as a gift. They also gave him a “fat Kobe” statue that doesn’t look at all like Kobe, but an A for effort.

The resort is placed near Princess Juliana International Airport that is considered the busiest airport in the Caribbean Sea. The airport’s runway is so short that the aircrafts must touch down at the very beginning of the runway, and since the the Maho beach is right by, the visitors can almost feel that they can touch the wheels if they jump.
