So it really does happen in real life! She was so nice and down-to-earth too, and she loved her pets.
I didn't quite believe her, which I guess she was used to, as she pulled a photo out of her purse of her and her workmates with the cheque. Then I rubbed her for luck and went and bought a ticket!
Hey, you just never know.....

That must be nice, to win a million dollars. That's great that she was still down-to-earth...

Ain't that the truth! It would cost 1/2 of that just to get a moderate, half-decent house with none left over to get the new car for the driveway. Downtown Toronto it would get you maybe half a house.

Here... or There... Hmmm
My neighbors boss and his brother just won a million too! Not fair.. I'd settle for $10,000 heck even $1 !!!
They'd save so much money if they just let me do all the winning!

She won it with her workmates, so it was split. Still, a large lump sum like that sure would make life easier. I'd be happy with a modest house that I didn't owe on.

PS I can't believe I wrote "one" instead of "won"!
