* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Albeit exagerated for comic effect, this episode shows what usually happens to people who have spent their lives in poverty or middle class, only to luck into a large amount of money - with no idea how to manage it, they just blow through it. Carter Pewterschmidt, who's been rich his whole life and thus knows how to hang on to his wealth, even calls up Lois and asks if they've managed to lose it all yet.

* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: The Griffins blow through all their lottery winnings and Peter decides the only way out of their new predicament is to win the lottery again.

There's a joke near the end that they did this ''twice'' after winning the lottery a second time, but it's a one-off gag, and it's unclear if it's really part of the story.

** Even for somebody like [[TheDitz Peter]], blowing through 150,000,000 dollars in a month is insane. Despite Lois warning him not to go crazy with the money, and the rest of the family spending the money on things that are quite reasonable in comparison, Peter's ConspicuousConsumption reaches ridiculous levels.
