What would you do if you won the lottery?
The first thing I would do would be to say, “How did I win the lottery without buying a ticket? That is some fine luck.” Then I would get paranoid that it was like one of those Korben Dallas, “Fifth Element,” set-ups.
While I do admire how Voltaire became a wealthy man exploiting the mathematical ineptitude of his nation’s “lottery authority,” I’m pretty sure the kinks have all been worked out such that the house always wins.

I grew up in a poor house where we never had enough money for meat but always my mom had lotto tickets. Her and my aunts would spend afternoons smoking (money for cigs) discussing what they would do with their winnings. I don’t play the lotto either, but sometimes I will get my husband a scratch off if it has a funny name.
