IF I WON THE LOTTERY

I can imagine what my life would be like if I won the lottery. Wow! I could
do so
many things, and my life would be so different. I would love the chance
to change
my life with the money. The first thing I would do is buy a big, new
house. I live in a
small apartment, and I have always dreamed of living in a big house in
the country.
With all that money, I could buy anything I wanted. I don’t have a car
right now, so I
would buy a new car. Or, I might even buy a new motorcycle. I like
motorcycles,
and I can imagine myself driving down the highway with the wind in my
hair.

Of course, I if I won the lottery, I should give some of the money to

charity. I would
probably give my money to a charity that helps sick children. Also, if any
of my
friends needed anything, I could help them pay for it. I know many
people that
have student loans, and I could help them pay the loans back. That
would make
them very happy. Plus, if I won a lot of money, I would certainly save
some of it in
the bank.

Also, I think that if I won a huge amount of money, I would open a

business. I love
to cook, and I have always wanted to open a restaurant. With all that
money I could
open a fancy restaurant.

However, I know one thing I would not do is travel. I have a friend who
won $100,
000 in the lottery three years ago. She took the money and travelled for
three
months. I think she is crazy. Travelling is nice, but then she had nothing
left after
her vacation.

I think, however, that the only problem with dreaming about the money I
could win
is that I have never even played the lottery before. As they say: “You
can’t win if
you don’t play.”

Answer these questions:

1. What would the person NOT buy if she won the lottery?

2. What would the person NOT do if she won the lottery?

3. Why would she open a restaurant?

4. Why would she not travel?

5. Do you think she will win the lottery?
