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.”
