I know I do. I would like to earn large amounts of money. You can win a large amount of money in the United States through lotteries. People pay money for tickets with numbers. If bination of numbers is chosen , you will win a huge amount of money 一 often in the millions. A few years ago , my friend Al won the lottery. It changed his life. He was not “ born with a silver spoon in his mouth ”. My friend was always short of money. And the money he did earn was chicken feed. Sometimes Al had to accept handouts( 施舍物)from his friends. But do not get me wrong. My friend was always very careful with the money he spent. In fact, he was often a cheapskate. He didn ’t like to spend money. The worst times were when he had no single penny left. One day, Al scraped together a few dollars for a lottery ticket. He thought he would never gain lots of money unexpectedly. But bination of numbers was chosen and he won the lottery. Al was so excited. The first thing he did was to buy a costly new car 一 one thing that he normally would not buy. Then he started spending money on unnecessary things. It seemed that he had “ money to burn ”. When we got together for a meal ata restaurant, AI paid every time. He would always 2 tell me the money made him feel like a millionaire. But Al spent too much money. Soon he was “ down and out ” again. He had spent his “ bottom dollar ”一 his very last amount. He did not even save any of the money. 1 admit I do feel sorry for my friend. He had enough money to“ live like a king". Instead, he was back to "living ona shoestring ”一a very low budget. Some might say he was wise about small things
