Dear Lucky Winner, sono molto fortunato.

Questo è il testo di una e-mail che mi è arrivata recentemente. In pratica avrei partecipato a mia insaputa e gratuitamente ad una lotteria ed avrei vinto la bellezza di 3,5 milioni di euro. Quante damigiane si possono comprare con 3,5 milioni di euro? Rispondere o non rispondere, questo è il problema.
