(or the equivalent of your local currency if your country doesn’t use US dollars.)
My thoughts exactly. If I win the lottery from a ticket I bought with a found $5, that’s a fun story.
If I won the lottery from a street wizard ticket? Legendary.
I most likely would point to my headphones and pretend I didn’t hear him talking to me because I don’t want random strangers approaching me on the street for any reason!
A lottery ticket because it can provide momentarily some fun and excitement while the equivalent of a dollar can not.
Edit: *five dollars. I’d still pick the lottery ticket because why not.
But with the cash you’ve got options. You could still place a bet on something if you wanted if you wanted that moment of excitement. You’ve just now got the option to pick something that has better odds or something you think you have some knowledge about than a completely random lottery.
I’ll take the £5. That way if I wanted I could get two lottery tickets and a scrarchcard.
Though in truth I’d forget about it because I only ever use card then a year later think why the hell do I have a fiver in my wallet.
I would take the lottery ticket because five dollars is equally meaningless to me.
