Lottery winner
Euro Millions is an European lottery. Draws are held every Tuesday and Friday night and is played from France, Spain, UK, Portugal, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Ireland and Luxembourg. The last winner was John Townsend, from Glasgow, Scotland. He is 24 years old and is taxi driver. He had never played before but he wanted to participate because this week there was a prize of £15 million. In this lottery you have to choose six numbers, therefore, John chose the numbers of his mother, father and sister’s birthdays.
Wednesday, the day after draw, John was driving his taxi when he heard lottery results on the radio. Suddenly, he had to stop his taxi because he was shocked. He had won the Euro Millions prize. He had to explain to his passenger that had happened and search another taxi for his customer. John went to celebrate whit his family.

Differences between live in a small town or in a big city
Usually, isn’t the same to live in a big city that in a small town. In a big city you have more advantages. First, if you want to go shopping, you have big shopping centres where to find all you want. Furthermore, in big cities there are a lot of museums, theatres, cinemas or expositions of art, there are many places where to go. On the other hand, there are also disadvantages, generally, nature isn’t nearby. There are many people and noise and all is artificial.
Advantages of small towns are that you know all people. In towns, nature is preserved and nearby, and life is quiet and calmed. Disadvantages are that you need a car to go anywhere. Winter is very cold and lonely and there aren’t many things to do.
Personally, I prefer living in big cities and visiting small towns for a few days.
