person A: I took $5 out of my 5 year old's birthday stash yesterday.
person B: What did you use the $5 for? Something good hopefully!
person A: Yeah_comma_ I bought a $5 lotto ticket.  I was feeling lucky and I really need to scrounge up enough money for rent this month.  We didn't win_comma_ though.
person B: Sorry to hear that. You tried at least and your intentions were good.
