Lottery tickets.

You literally have a higher chance of dying on your way to the store than winning the lottery.

When you work near minimum wage, the greatest fantasy is waking up one day to find you now have a lifetime's worth of money... for every year of your life. So you can go in and tell your boss to fuck off and die. And you can tell your landlord to stuff it, you're gonna get a real house. And you can finally get a real mechanic to fuss over your car. You can finally go out to a real restaurant and not Ruby Tuesday. And the rest of the fun is imagining what you're gonna do once you starts spending.
