Reading
8 Read the text. Choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D.

One Thursday night Derek Ladner, 57, was watching a film with his wife, Dawn, 60, when he
remembered he hadn’t checked the lottery ticket which he’d bought the day before. He used to
buy a ticket regularly, every Wednesday and every Saturday, and he played the same numbers – a
combination of his birthday and his wife’s. When the film had finished, he found the ticket and
discovered that every number matched. He couldn’t believe it. He’d won!
The next morning, they discovered that they weren't the only people who had chosen the same
numbers. Altogether there were five winning tickets for almost 2.5 million pounds. Each ticket won
nearly half a million pounds. Derek and Dawn were naturally delighted and excited – who wouldn’t
be?
Over the next few days, Derek and Dawn started thinking about what they would do with their
money. They decided not to make any quick decisions.
A week later, they had another surprise – Derek found something in his wallet. It was another
lottery ticket. At first he was rather confused, and then he remembered! That Wednesday, he had
bought not one, but two tickets. The second one had been a mistake – he’d forgotten about the
first one! That’s right – the second ticket had the same numbers as the first ticket. Two tickets
meant twice as much money!
The story was talked about everywhere. It was the first and only time anyone had bought two
winning tickets on the same day. They had now won almost a million pounds – enough money to
change their lives. However, Derek and Dawn told reporters that they were not planning any big
changes. They said they would spend some money on the house where they lived, but that they
were happy there and didn’t want to move anywhere else. They also said that they were planning a
holiday, probably to New York, where Dawn had always wanted to go. What about work? Derek,
who was a driver, said he planned to stop soon and was looking forward to spending more time at
home with Dawn, who had already retired.
