“Excuse me!” Maria called to the woman．“You won $50,000!”

The woman came back to the counter．She took the winning ticket and looked at it carefully．“I can't believe it．” she said，“I won $50,000．” The woman walked away slowly，looking at the ticket again and again．Then she turned around，“Thank you! Thank you very much!” she said to Maria excitedly．
