BR 14 What a Lottery

I've got the winning lottery ticket. Rick has the ticket in his hand. I'm going to get eight million pounds for this ticket! Rick gets into the taxi. (p.24)

     Have you ever won the lottery? My answer is unfortunately, no. Whenever I watch TV broadcasting about lottery, I think of something I want to buy if I got it. However, I have never bought a lottery.
     In this story, a man, Rick likes to sing, playing guitar, but it's not his job. So, he buys a lottery to try to get money. In such a life, her girlfriend got angry and left him. Then, surprisingly, he won the lottery. He wanted to tell her about it, so take a taxi. However, it's not a general one. The driver in that taxi was criminal. He tried to get his lottery and finally, the lottery was broken and became invalid. When he waked up, he didn't remember what happened to him, and even who he was. Then, a woman asked him to play the guitar in her stage as a singer. He fells happy because it's like winning the lottery.

     I think that the lottery make people happy. I always think that I want to win the lottery. He is really a happy person, but he should have been careful in order to get money.
