Lesson 5 Key Conversation It's All in the Numbers

Paula: Well, you sure are chipper today, Mason.

Mason: You can say that again.

Paula: Did you get the promotion you were after?

Mason: Even better! You're not going to believe this, Paula, but … we just won the lottery!

Paula: What?! The lottery? You're kidding, right? You mean we won the state lottery?

Mason: All of our numbers came up, and we won ten million dollars!

Paula: Holy cow! Ten million dollars!

Mason: I could hardly believe it myself. When they read the winning numbers, and I saw they matched, I had to pinch myself because it felt like I was dreaming. Once the reality set in, I couldn't wait to tell you.

Paula: I can't believe it. So, I guess the first question is: what do we plan to do with the money?

Mason: I haven't figured all of that out just yet. One of the first things I wanted to do, though, is take the family out for dinner to celebrate. What do you say?

Paula: Sure, let's start telling everyone the great news.

Mason: (chuckling) Absolutely, dear, absolutely.
