Astar’s Discount Is Expensive

Margaret Alice visited Merriam-Webster
on the Internet, saw with delight she won
an amount, received a call from Tampa,
America, the prize only valid if she
travels at own cost to Florida

But first she must pay twenty thousand rand
before she can leave on a holiday - guess
what, she can't afford it, the prize money
just a hook to make people pay for a
holiday they can't afford at all

It is not a prize when what you win costs more
than what you receive, she has to pay a million
dollars to receive three dollars; so be it, staying
at home, of course; America won't
run away...
