Treasure of Sierra Jimma

---

In the beginning of the film, the Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Humphrey Bogart buys a lotto ticket from a kid on the street. The kid finds him later and tells him he won, and with this new wealth the group is able to finance their mining trip. Lotto tickets are sold in the exact same way here. I will be sitting in a café and kids will come up and try to sell me lotto tickets. It worked for Bogie, maybe I should take a chance.

Don't Do the Gold Dance Yet.
You know I am not one to preach on gambling and throwing your money away but you should make sure the winnning prize is not in birr. If it is you might not be that wealthy if you win. Besides like so many winners they started with nothing and ended with nothing but what a crazy journey and the money made Bogie nutty. Have fun..
