Before I buy a lottery ticket I just want to make sure this is the money kind and not one of those "stoned to death by townsfolk" thingies.
--J Elvis Weinstein
I bought some. It's stupid, but it's my only hope. |

Nope!
I'm not one to buy lottery tickets. When our dear Lola passed away, I bought $10 worth of scratch offs and thought I'd split my winnings with the American Heart Association in her name.
I won $11. *snerk!*
So I sent $25 to the Association and I haven't bought a ticket since.

I'm not the least bit excited about the $1.6 billion jackpot, but I thought I should go through the motions.

A few years ago, there was a news story over here about a local lottery jackpot winner. The guy had gone to a shop to buy a two row quick pick ticket. This would have cost him five rands. However, he had a ten rand note in his hand, and the cashier jumped the gun and rang up a four row ticket for ten rands. The guy figured it was too small an amount to make a fuss over, so he paid for the ticket. The fourth row ended up having the winning numbers.

He was rewarded for his good manners.
