1.Every year in different countries around the world, a small number of people win huge prize in lotteries. People are always dreaming of winning billions of dollars overnight in a lottery.
People often wonder what they would do if they have got one of these large sums of money. They have many different ideas.
Some people say they would give it away to charities. Others say they would send most of it to their families. Some people just list all the things they would buy.
One evening several friends were talking about what they would do if they won billions of dollars.“What would you do," the first man asked the others, "if you woke up one morning and discovered Vou had won five billion dollars?"
His friends thought for a few minutes, and then one of them said,“I'd buy the biggest house in the world or maybe I'd buy several houses in different parts of the world so I would go and live anywhere I like. They would all have to have wonderful views, of course, and I'd employ at least fifty servants to look after me and take care of all my beautiful gardens."
The other one said, "I'd spend my life traveling around the world. I would go to North and South America, Africa, and all over Europe and anywhere else I wanted to. I'd stay at the best hotels. I'd eat only the most expensive food and wear the finest clothes”
The men tended to the first man who asked the question.“And what about you? What would you do if you woke up one morning to discover you had won five billion dollars?"
The man laughed and said:“Oh, I'm a greedy person. I'd go back to sleep and try to win another five billion."
