Good day, Emma!
Good day too, Ron! What are you doing today?

I am going to buy a lottery ticket.
Really? I don’t want to upset you but the likelihood of
winning the lottery is slim to none. So I ought to say that you should try
at your own risk.

I understand that, but who knows?
Well then, if you say so.

Would you like to give it a try?

Besides, I would rather spend my money on something substantial
