Winning the Lotto

Tom, take a look at this! This guy's won ten million dollars in the lotto!
What luck!

What would you do if you won ten million dollars?
Well, I know what I WOULDN'T do! If I won so much money, I wouldn't spend it. I'd put it in the bank!

You've got to be joking! I'd make sure to spend at least the first two million having a good time and buying things I've always wanted. I'd defintely spend a lot of time travelling.
Use your head! If you spent money like that, you'd soon have spent all your winnings!

You are so boring! If you were in his shoes, you'd just put money in the bank.
That's right. I'm sure I'd eventually start spending some money, but I'd be very careful to make that money last for the rest of my life.

What use would that be, if you didn't have any fun?
Oh, I'd have fun. I'd just be careful about how much fun I'd have.

I can't believe you!
Well you know the saying 'different strokes for different folks'!
