4066 The Lottery

短文

The Lottery

Josh won the lottery and suddenly became a millionaire. He could hardly believe it. Now he could buy almost anything he wanted.

The first thing he did was pay off his student loans. At last, he was free of debt. Then he bought plane tickets to Hawaii—not just for himself, but for his best friends too.

They all flew to Hawaii together and spent the week without worrying about money. Josh stayed in the nicest hotel, ate at the best restaurants, and flew home first-class.

Even after the trip, he still had about $800,000 left. Josh decided to keep the rest in his bank account. He didn’t want to go overboard.
