I recall an amusing scene in one episode in which they track down a winner at the airport. He’s a Haré Krisna type who is chided by his partner for gambling, apparently against the rules.

The young man pauses to reflect just a moment before responding: “Today’s April 14th [or whatever].” So apparently tickets were bought just like most lotteries.HistoryBuff14 (talk) 14:45, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
