Morbid luck

When my parents visited recently, my dad noted that the local newsagents had ''Golden Casket'' signs:  he asked what that was about.

It's the name of the govt. lottery.

He pointed out that the use of ''casket'' reflects a cultural difference.  In AU, I guess it suggestes a treasure chest full of riches.  In the U.S., a casket tends to refer to a coffin.

Good point.
