Ain't gonna Happen! Dialogue!

A) I bought tickets for the jumbo lottery. It’s my first time. I hope I win.

B) Ain’t gonna happen. Sorry to be a downer. It’s a waste of money.

A) There’s a chance I could win. I hear everyone wins at least 300 yen. That’s something.

B) I highly doubt that. Not every ticket could be a winner. Save your money.

A) I save my money. This money is for fun. I could win.

B) When pigs fly. It’s a racket by the government to get your money. They’re very successful.

A) My dad won $1,000.00. It was a long time ago. He was a winner.

B) Well, don’t hold your breath. Want to get a cup of coffee. There’s a great place around the corner.

A) Love to. I could use a cup. Can I borrow some money?

Hello Katie, honestly, I am confused. I remember one teacher from the USA here in EC many times saying that AIN'T is something like slang and it isn't good to use. He used to say that mostly illiterare people use it.. am I wrong?
