The Lottery Winner
THE LOTTERY WINNER
Just think. You win five million pounds in the lottery – suddenly you are rich! What are you going to do with all that money? You can buy clothes, cars, houses; you can go to New York, London, Moscow, Paris, Madrid …
Jason Williams is a very happy young man. He has a winning lottery ticket – and a cheque for five million pounds. But other people want his money too. His mother, his father, his wife, and his lawyer. Jason is in trouble with the police. He needs a lawyer’s help, and lawyers are expensive. And then there’s Emma Carter.
Emma Carter is very angry and unhappy.
She says that it is
her ticket, and that
she won the lottery, not Jason Williams. Emma Carter has a lawyer too, because she wants her five million pounds, and she wants it now.
So who’s going to get the money? Where did Jason get the winning lottery ticket from? Who is telling the truth – and who is telling lies?
