Tina said, "You can have this old thing if you would like." Becca replied, "I really like it-Maybe it's a real diamond!" Tina laughingly told her that there was a one in a billion chance of that and that Tina was more likely to win the lottery. A few months later Becca ran over to Tina's house and told Tina that the ring was actually a diamond worth thousands! Becca gave Tina the ring to examine.
