Recap / The Golden Girls S 04 E 07 Brother Can You Spare That Jacket

Go To

Sophia donates an old jacket to charity, not knowing that it contains a winning lottery ticket.


Tropes:

  • Never Win the Lottery: The girls win a significant amount of money on a scratch ticket, but Rose mistakenly leaves the ticket in the pocket of a jacket that they donate to the poor. They eventually track the jacket to a homeless shelter and pose as homeless individuals to stay there for a night and retrieve it...but decide to donate the money to the shelter instead after hearing the stories of the shelter's other occupants.
  • Wrong Restaurant: Inverted — when the Girls lose their winning lottery ticket, Rose pleads their case to the lottery commission over the phone in the hopes they can offer a solution. The friendly man on the phone is sympathetic to their plight, but explains that she dialed his Chinese restaurant, not the Florida Lottery, so there's nothing he can do for them in relation to the lost ticket. As consolation, he offers them free egg rolls the next time they visit his restaurant.
