     People by lottery tickets with many hopes. Some of them want to build a house. Some people want to buy a vehicle. I too buy tickets.      If I win a lottery, first of all, I will deposit that money in a bank. Then I will spend that money carefully. I will build a house for our family. I will also buy new furniture for the house. Then all of us can live there.      My ambition is to become a teacher. I must study for a long time for this and it needs a lot of money. But if I win a lottery, I will be able to spend money on my education too. Then I will not be a burden on my parents. I will also help my sister.       There is a children's home in our village. Most of them are helpless. They do not have enough money to buy clothes and books. I will help them as far as I can. I will also donate money to the religious programes of our temple. We must always respect our religion and the religions of others. I think my dream ...
