An alternative to eternity? In Islam it's forbidden to bet, so I think by the time an evil indoctrine misusing Islam ends up with a 'winner' there wouldn't be any lotery tickets because this life 'is not worth living, it's all about the hereafter' anyway. It's not so 'reality' linked this clip, I think.... “What did others see?”

For me, the movie, which I thought was great, brought up many questions. Is someone who is moved to Jihad likely to be swayed by winning the lottery (or even likely to PLAY the lottery!)? Are they saying that young, hopeful people are recruited to do these monstrous thing when it is not really in their nature (e.g., he felt hopeful enough to buy a lottery ticket, and wanted to choose earthly riches over martyrdom)? Money/ a way out can change a hopeless persons mindset from terrorism to capitalism? I don't know the answers to any of these questions, but love the exploration of them in this movie.
