I was in the car and was following the proceedings earlier. I will go back to my €10 analogy. I am the eldest in my family and when I was young it could happen that an aunt or an uncle would give me a tenner and tell me to make sure to get something for my little brother. I used to have a system whereby I would give him a euro and, therefore, I had lived up to the condition of the gift. The lottery has a similar method because it is told that it has to give some towards reclaimed prizes, but it is actually giving 20 cent. The lottery makes ten-year-old me look very generous.
