SUCCESS

June Parsons tells all – SUMMARY

June Parsons, John and Cynthia's neighbour, told the journal what happened after her neighbours had won in the lottery.

After they had won, John and Cynthia wasted a lot of money. They had to sell their house and all the jewellery because John had lost a lot of money in horse races. Then they finished all their money buying a Ferrari. And the most wrong thing is that they hadn't listened to their friends, who were trying to stop them.

June said that if she had won the lottery, she would have managed very differently.
