While visiting in Israel, Morris buys a ticket and wins the lottery. He goes to claim it and the man verifies his ticket.

“I want my $20 million,” Morris says.

“It doesn’t work that way, sir,” says the man. “We give you a million today, and then you’ll get the rest spread out for the next 19 years.”

Morris, furious with the man, screams out, “Look, I want my money! If you’re not going to give me my 20 million right now, I want my dollar back!”
