How do you pronounce the word won? Does it rhyme with sun or Juan? Some people, depending on their regional dialect, may hypercorrect their vowels and pronounce certain words in an unusual way. This is part of a complete episode.

I have never heard the word 'Won' pronounced like 'one' before. I think anyone around here (central Oklahoma) would take a moment a least to understand a person saying they had '*one* the lottery' to our ears. The reaction would be like "You one...? OH, you mean you WON?"
