Which “Lottery Ticket” Should One Buy?
In the News (BBC News): “‘Kerala lottery: Indian women sanitation workers hit jackpot’
“The women are part of a group that collects non-biodegradable waste from households in Parappanangadi town in Kerala’s Malappuram district. They usually get around 250 rupees a day…
“The money, they say candidly, is not enough to make ends meet. Most of the women have borrowed money and taken loans for their children’s education and other expenses.
“That’s why they would occasionally join forces to buy a lottery ticket. …
“Kuttimalu, 72, says she was initially sad when Radha was collecting funds because she didn’t have enough money.
“‘Then Cherumannil Baby (another member of the group) told me she had 25 rupees and was willing to lend me half of it for the ticket,’ she tells the BBC.
“So the two women put in 12.5 rupees each for their share of the ticket while the other nine women paid 25 rupees each.
“‘We agreed we would get an equal share if we won anything,’ Ms Kuttimalu says. ‘We didn’t expect to win such a huge amount of money!’ …
“On Friday, a day after their life-changing win, the 11 women reached the agency’s office like always to resume their work.
“‘We decided one thing,’ Ms Leela says. ‘We will not leave this job because it was this collective that brought us prosperity.'”
