You actually see the money one more time. Sloman throws the bag of money into the front seat of his truck (revealing another serial number on one of the bills as the top of the bag flies open for a split second) and then walks to the back of the vehicle to choose the right gun from his arsenal of weapons to shoot Jim Prufrock with.


Good eye! I didn't catch that. Thanks

 		something just occurred to me...is that the same money that Mary gave to him? Or the money he's going to pay for the winning lottery tickets with? Seems to me that paying just over a million dollars for lottery tickets that are worth not much more isn't a good deal. Does anyone remember off hand how much he agreed to pay for the tickets? Or do they never say?

 		They gave it a "street value" of a million plus (I can't remember the exact amount) which I take to mean the amount that Sloman has to pay for the bogus tickets. He may very well be thinking that he can use the money he got from Mary to pay for the Lottery scam since it is so readily available.

As for the "value" of the deal: Sloman is getting thousands of these tickets and if the $50,000 winner that Jim scratched off is any indication of the average amount on each ticket, then Sloman should very easily make back the cost of his investment many times over.

Looking at the closed captioning (thanks Push Diner), "Street value $1.5 million"
So my first take was that Sloman spends $1 million to make $1,500,000.
so he takes home $500,000 profit.

But you're right. if the $50,000 is any indication, he'd only need 30 tickets like that to make his $1.5 million. And he got a whole bag full.
So maybe there are tens of millions of dollars worth in the bag.

He's actually getting 550 winning lottery tickets, not thousands. Check your transcripts.

I stand corrected on the amount of tickets Sloman is receiving. But the main point was that Sloman still has more than enough bogus winning lottery tickets to make up for his $1.5 million "investment." The actual number of tickets is almost immaterial...unless there is some hidden significance to the number "550."
