Into The Fund



Into The Fund
Author: Mark V. Markov

With the countries listed below and others
All they have to do.
Is to change the price of the lottery ticket.
To be able to make the jackpot prize become
Two billion dollars in their currency

With one billion to be the Jackpot prize
And the other one billion to go
Into the fund
That helps everyone
With basic necessities

Every time someone wins
The pick five number lotto
The winner pays
The fifty percent lotto tax

If no one wins on the first try
The whole jackpot
Goes into the fund
That helps everyone
With basic necessities

With the countries listed below and others
All they have to do.
Is to change the price of the lottery ticket.
To be able to make the jackpot prize become
Two billion dollars in their currency.

With one billion to be the Jackpot prize
And the other one billion to go
Into the fund
That helps everyone
With basic necessities...
