Today’s “Word of the Day” is windfall and it is a noun meaning “a lot of money that you win or get unexpectedly; bonanza, jackpot, unexpected fortune/gain”.
Example Sentence: Danny Sriskandarajah, the Oxfam GB chief executive said: “The explosion in billionaires’ fortunes (wealth) at a time when poverty is increasing lays bare (exposes/reveals) the fundamental flaws in our economies. Even during a global crisis our unfair economic systems manage to deliver eye-watering windfalls for the wealthiest but fail to protect the poorest. It is an avoidable tragedy that every day people die because they lack essentials such as food and healthcare.
