Winning a Lottery

Guess what, I've just won the lottery, 50 million dollars.

You are kidding!

Are you sure it's for real? and there isn't a mistake?

No, I've checked and confirmed it.

Wow, that's fantastic.

Congratulations!

I never expected this, so now I've got to figure out what to do with it.

Guess you do, and be careful.

I'm telling you, everything is about to change.

Emm, I'm still on shock, so I haven't had time to think.

How does he know he has really won? he has checked and confirmed it.

In this case, to be in a state of shock means to be so surprised and excited that one can't think clearly.

He needs enough time to figure out what to do with the money.

With all your money, what about your friends?

You mean you, right?

Sure, why not.

Why don't you get me a new car?

And then what?

Sure, if I start giving things to my friends, it will never stop.

I've got to think.

He isn’t being serious, but is only joking with his friend.

If he starts giving things to his friends, what will never stop ? they'll keep asking for more.

One thing for sure, you'll have no trouble finding a girlfriend now.

Yeah, you are probably right.

I've never been successful women.

Why won't he have trouble finding a girlfriend now? Many women like man with money.

I might as well have some fun and enjoy the rich life for a while. It would be great to have a nice girlfriend. I've never been successful with women.

He’s going to have fun and enjoy being rich for a while.

What are you going to do about your job?

I'll give notice right away and finish the project I've been working on.

That's nice.

I'm sure the company will appreciate it.

Then what?

Then I'll take some time for myself and think about what I want to do.

Any ideas?

Nothing definite, but I've been considering starting my own business.

Or maybe investing in something interesting.

Why is he going to take some time for himself ? he wants to think about what he wants to do

To give notice to an employer means to let them know that you're going to quit.

He’s going to give notice and then finish the project he’s been working on. He’ll take some time for himself and thinks about what he wants to do.

Be careful about investing.

One of my best friends became an investor after he sold some stock in the company he was working for.

He's really smart, but he got fooled into investing a lot of money into a company that went bankrupt.

He ended up losing his entire investment.

What happen then?

His wife divorced him and took most of his assets with her.

So now he has to work again.

So even smart people can be fooled.

What happened to the company his friend invested in ? it went bankrupt

The company his friend invested in went bankrupt, so he lost his money. His friend’s marriage ended in divorce.

Well, I'm in no hurry, so I'll be careful.

I think the first thing I'll do is buy a nice house and help my parents.

They've work hard all their lives, but they're still barely able to survive on what they have.

Hmm, that sounds like a good plan.

Whatever you do, don't let this go to your head.

Try not to lose who you are.

Don't worry, I won't.

I know what you mean.

What something he wants to do with his money ? buy a nice house and help his parents

In this case, to go to one’s head means to let his sudden wealth make him think he is better than others.
