............Better odds than a bunch of random numbers...........
At a place I worked at back in the seventies, the machinests were paid based on a piece rate, and “Ralph” consistantly had the biggest paycheck due to his super productivity.
So, the union steward, who had little else to do, went around the shop all week auctioning off Ralph’s pay check amongst the 600 shop employees.
Of course the steward sold more tickets than Ralph’s paycheck, so Ralph got to keep all the weekly proceeds, all except the 10% that the union steward skimmed off the top!
“..so Ralph got to keep all the weekly proceeds..”
Although he had to probably pay more taxes on his gambling proceeds, he saved on worker’s comp and S.S.!
