[ PM ] I have a few hours to kill and want to write something

Okay. Here's a prompt. 
 
 
 > Lottery tickets are so unlikely to win that it's almost like lighting your money on fire. However, there is an miniscule chance of victory, which everybody thinks about when they are paying for it and all the way back home, and even when they discuss the money with their friends. I propose that buying a lottery ticket is not actually buying a chance to win, it is buying the right to fantasize about how you would use the winnings. 
 
 I do n't know what the prompt is in there, but I think it's an interesting idea. Interpret it as you will.
