    STATISTICALLY speaking, some of us will make bank simply by receiving some unexpected wealth. 

    Perhaps it is through winning the lottery, or through finding a gold coin on the ground as part of a marketing startup’s treasure hunt. More likely, it could be inheritance from a loved one who has died. 

    In Monopoly, a bank error in your favour will grant you $200, which could net you any property up to New York Avenue. You would be wise to pick something up immediately to quickly make rent.
