The lottery ticket comes with mystery and suspense. Even if you could buy more tickets with the $5, the ticket has more value to me based on its origin. What if the street man is a wizard or from the future? Gimme that ticket, future street wizard.

My thoughts exactly. If I win the lottery from a ticket I bought with a found $5, that's a fun story.

If I won the lottery from a street wizard ticket? Legendary.

Until he tracks you down to demand the money

If you win, everyone that knows about it will track you down and try to get something. The trick is to not let anyone know.
