Talking about Winning the Lottery

The lottery jackpot is the highest it has ever been. A channel 5 news reporter is interviewing

some people who are queuing to buy the lottery tickets at a service station…

News Reporter: This is Bob Brown from Channel 5 news reporting from a service station in

Bromley, London. People are already lined up outside to buy lottery tickets to be in with a

chance of winning the biggest jackpot total ever of £170m! Let’s talk to one of them… Sir,

how long have you been waiting in line to buy a ticket?

Peter: I’ve been queuing here for 2 hours, since 6AM.

News Reporter: Wow! Do you buy lottery tickets regularly?

Peter: Well, not really, but the jackpot is so high this time that it’s worth queuing up for! If

you’re not in it, you can’t win it!

News Reporter: You are absolutely right! And what would you do if you won the jackpot?

Peter: Well, first of all, I’d quit my job and I’d travel around the world. I’d visit all the

countries that I haven’t visited yet. Then, I’d buy a huge mansion here with a swimming pool.

I’d hire a full-time maid to clean the house and cook too. And, of course, I’d buy a

Lamborghini… or three!

News Reporter: Sounds like a dream! And what if it doesn’t come true?

Peter: Never mind! I’ll just keep on doing what I’ve always done...

News Reporter: And what is that?

Peter: I work for a local engineering company, and I make enough money to get by.

News Reporter: Wouldn’t it be amazing to never have to work again? Good luck sir and

fingers crossed!

Peter: Absolutely! Thank you!
