I can imagine what my life __________ like if I __________ the lottery. Wow! I __________ 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 __________ 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 __________ my money to a charity that helps sick children. Also, if any of my friends __________ 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 __________ 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 __________ 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.”
