Joke about lottery Nick makes a deal with his friend Richard to buy a donkey for 100$. Nick gives the money and says he will be back the next day to pick up the donkey, because he needs to prepare the spot. The following day he comes to see Richard, but the donkey is dead. Nick demands a refund. Richard says he cannot do that, because he had already drank away the money. Nick says ""What the hell"" and takes the dead donkey. Few weeks later they run into each other. Richard asks ""What did you do with the donkey?"" Nick replies ""Well, I made a lottery and the main prize was a donkey. I sold 100 tickets for 2$."" ""Didn't all the people get angry when they found out that the donkey had died?"" Richard asks. ""Well, all the ones that lost just laughed and the one that won I gave 20$ and that made him happy.""
