What do you want to do?
Buy a ticket for 2000 coins.
Why not? It certainly does sound intriguing. You reach for your money and count 2000 coins to hand them over to the blond man. He beams, beckons you to come closer, and shouts to the crowd: "Another buyer! Another buyer! Step over, Sir, come here!" He places you next to him, takes your money and congratulates you to your decision.
Then he reaches into the bowl and grabs a piece of paper. "And here is your name, Sir!", he says loudly, handing you a piece of paper.
