Title: winning the lotto

Introduction

Woah. This skateboard park is awesome. I could do this all. “Woooah” THUMP ouch. John woke up in a hospital bed. The nurse was beside him. “Well what happened to you then young man,” the nurse asked “I hurt myself at a skateboard park” Jhon grumbled. “ How much more time till I can get out of here,” Jhon asked hesitantly. “Two weeks,” The nurse said. Those to weeks were the dullest weeks of John’s life. After waiting for all that time he was finally able to walk again. He walked out of the hospital and walked by some shops. He saw a dairy shop with a lotto sign ontop and then remembered: hey, I bought a ticket before I got hurt. John reached into his pocket and to his surprise, he noticed that the ticket was gone...“Oh no! Not again” Jhon said in a disastrous voice.” I lost my lotto ticket AGAIN”. “Well, that’s a week’s worth of chores wasted”. Well, my ticket was probably useless anyway. It’s not like no.17(my ticket) is the winner for the grand prize. Jhon thought. Jhon called a cab and went back home. His mother was in the kitchen making some dinner, and his father was watching tv. Jhon walked down to his father and saw what he was watching. Lotto NZ. They were calling out the numbers. They called out all of the prizes that were less than the grand prize already. Now they were going to say the GRAND PRIZE WINNER.” and the winning number is…. NO.17!!!” Joh couldn’t believe what he was hearing. NO.17 was the grand prize winner! John went off to search for his missing ticket. He looked everywhere but he couldn’t find it. He stumbled up to his bedroom and sat down. He opened one of his comics when… HIS TICKET FELL OUT. He was so happy he rushed down the stairs and showed his family the ticket. John was stunned. He had won THE GRAND PRIZE!!!

How do banks work

Banks, What are banks? Banks are big places to keep your money safe. For thousands of years, banks have been around providing a place for people to keep their money safe. Banks are much more safe and better than your run-of-the-mill piggy banks. Banks also bring big amounts of money to you.

P1

What happens to your money when you set up an account? Once you have set up an account your money is stored in a vault, a place to keep your money safe. Your money is connected to your credit card or your debit card. You can also use your Electronic Fund Transfer at Point Of Sale. In other words your EFTPOS card. You may use those cards to purchase items or pay off your bills.

P2

How can you make money by setting up a bank account? There are two ways to make money if you have a bank account. One you could gain interest, two the bank lends your money to someone else. For example, you put $100 in your bank account and the bank lends your money to someone else who needs $100 more to have enough money to pay for his college fee. After he uses your money he needs to pay the $100 back. With an extra 70%. The bank keeps 50% and you get your 100 back and the other 20%. That’s how banks and yourself make a profit (money)

P3

Why do banks do all this? Banks do this to help others in need of money and give interest to people who have bank accounts. They lend money, give interest, and make money themselves by taking 50% of the lent money back. This is called the banking system. It's when you make money by gaining interest, the bank makes money by taking the extra 50% from the lent money when it takes it back, and others in need of money for say school fees can count on the bank to lend the money needed.

P4

Why you should get a bank account? You should get a bank account because 1. It is much safer than a piggy bank and your siblings cant pinch your money 2. You could earn insane amounts of interest immediately. 3. Lastly, Banks bring big benefits to you. Big banks do business big-time. So if you could get your money in a bank you already know how good it’s gonna be.
