From this videoconference talk from 10 May 2019, Ajahn Anan discusses winning the lottery and one's merits.

An excerpt: "This topic today should teach us that we should be firm in goodness, we should have virtue, maintaining the 5 moral precepts. We don't steal from others. We have lovingkindness (metta) and compassion (karuna) to others."
