  • As I understand it these are basically an insurance policy. The promoter takes out a policy detailing the odds of a payout being required, and pay a premium based on the insurer’s risk assessment.

    And of course the insurer wants to minimise the odds of paying out, and the promoter wants to minimise their premium - so the top prize is usually, as above, near-unwinnable.

    As I recall it, the family were facing eviction, and the kids were indeed sold, including the one she was pregnant with. A couple of them ended up basically being slaves on a farm somewhere.

    I’ll laugh at plenty of things I probably shouldn’t but this isn’t one of them.
