Why risk it?

Track forty-five.

Ali: Hello.

Rob: Hi Ali, it's Rob. Just wondered if you wanted to go and see a film or something tonight?

Ali: Oh, Rob, hi. Thanks, but I don't really feel like going out tonight.

Rob: Why? What's up?

Ali: Oh. It's just that, well, you won't believe it, but I could have won a holiday!

Rob: What? That's amazing! Why do you sound so miserable? Oh, what do you mean could have?

Ali: That's just it. I didn't win, but I had three raffle tickets and I'm absolutely sure one of them was the winning number!

Rob: What do you mean? That doesn't make sense.

Ali: I washed the tickets.

Rob: Oh, no. Why on earth did you...?

Ali: I know, I know. I should have put them somewhere sensible, but they were in the pocket of my jeans and they basically fell apart in the hot water and you can't really see the numbers at all. If only I'd checked the pockets before I put the jeans in the machine.

Rob: But won't the people who organized the competition accept the ticket anyway?

Ali: I wish they would, but I've already spoken to them and apparently I should have written my name and address on the receipt, you know, in the book of tickets, so that I had proof if something like this happened.

Rob: Oh dear, that is a bit of a problem.

Ali: Yes, well, they gave our prize to the person who came second. It's just not fair. I mean, I should be sitting on a beach in the Caribbean, not in a cold flat in London. Oh, I wish I'd given Ed the tickets to look after.

Rob: Oh, you bought them together, did you?

Ali: Uh-huh.

Rob: What did he say about his nice clean ticket?

Ali: Come on, Rob, this is serious.

Rob: Sorry. Well?

Ali: Oh.

Rob: You haven't told him, have you?

Ali: I feel so stupid, but I suppose I'd better ring him.
