Look at it this way – Broomie paid $20 to play a game. People pay money to play games all the time. She did it for fun. Unexpectedly, she won $18! This is not related to the money she paid, because only an idiot expects a payout from a game like this.
So, Broomie won $18. And if she got $20 worth of enjoyment from her game, she’s ahead.

And Broomie learns about economics and why not to play the lottery!

Hey, that’s more than I ever made. Over the past 20 years, I think I’ve bought less than 20 tickets and have never won anything from any of them.

When God wants me to win the lottery, He’ll tell me what numbers to play. Otherwise, I ain’t wasting my money.

So… winners are just losers that haven’t done the math.

That’s how all gambling games work. There have to be a lot of losers to pay the few winners and give the operators, legal or otherwise, a good income.

Lottery is a tax on people, who don´t do the math. I never said that I do the math.

Gaylord, don’t be such a pedantic cynic. You’ve made OUR SWEETIE downcast, and we don’t like that!
