When my brother was 5, he and our cousin went into the boy's bathroom at a gas station. Our cousin (who was 8 at the time) told my brother that the condom dispensing machine on the wall sold lottery tickets. Well, my brother wasn't going to miss out on winning the lottery! So he bought a "ticket" and ran out of the bathroom smiling saying "I'm going to win the lottery!!"
