### Note

Shared prize money: divide by winners ($60 ÷ 3 = $20). «Twice second prize» means second prize × 2. Homophone: «pries» (from pry) sounds the same. Do not confuse «prize» (a reward) with «price» (what something costs).

## In Jewish tradition

In the Tanakh it is a reward or something valued highly. In the primary lessons: things won; prize money shared among winners; in school: prizes for spelling, art or sports day; in stories: the hero wins the prize or a treasure; in everyday life: raffles and quizzes with prizes; phrases: «first prize», «win a prize», «prize-giving», «the Nobel Prize»
