What’s the quickest way to get a million dollars? The lottery, of course. When people want to talk about an imaginary situation in which they’re rich, they often start, “If I won the lottery…”
But to win the lottery you have to play. And a lot of the time, you just win a few dollars. But the possibility of millions is always out there. Perhaps the fact that Ebaby! recently reached a million members is what inspires Jason to buy a scratcher at a convenience store. But Dale doesn’t like the odds and thinks it’s a bad idea.
3. Watch - Watch the video without reading the dialog.

Dale: You’re wasting your money, man.
Jason: I don’t know, man. Like, sometimes I win, like, you know…five, ten bucks.
Dale: That dollar could go somewhere else. I mean, gosh. The lottery is always just an investment.
Jason: Three.
Dale: I mean, it’s not an investment. I mean, it’s not an investment.
Jason: Four! Five in a row! It’s a million bucks! I just won a million dollars!
Dale: Whatever, whatever. No way!
Jason: No, I’m totally serious. Look at it. Yeah. Can’t you see?
Dale: Oh yeah! I knew you were gonna win, man!
Jason: Yeah.
Dale: I knew it! I knew it. I get half, by the way. I get half.
Jason: What?
Dale: Automatically. Automatically.
Jason: Why would you get half?
Dale: I’m your lucky charm. I’m your lucky charm. You wouldn’t have got that.
Jason: You just told me not to buy it.
Dale: You wouldn’t have got that if I wasn’t here. That’s it…
Jason: I told you…
Dale: Five-hundred thousand dollars.
Jason: I was just pulling your leg. I didn’t win a million dollars. I just knew you’d do that after…
Dale: You sure?
Jason: I didn’t win anything.
Dale: Loser.

When Dale starts telling Jason that the lottery isn’t a good investment, Jason decides to play a trick on Dale and tell him that he won a million dollars. Dale immediately gets really excited and says that he should have half the money.
Then Jason tells Dale that he was lying. He didn’t win anything. He just thought Dale might feel differently about the lottery after imagining he won for a minute.
Is there a lottery in your country? Do you play? Why or why not?

Lottery is a kind of gambling, you can notice million of loosers but one millionere only. We had real stories in our country here who won lottery became millioneres and then lost all his money in a short time included all what he had before and started to live in streets |
And That is why fortune telling, gambling and smiliar of bad habits like drinking which can couse harm to people are strictly forbidden in islam and written in Quran as well.|
