From the Neuzeit Tarot, the Page of Pentacles; from Rory's Story Cubes, Temple Gateway:
The Page of Pentacles has been studying capitalism and has stumbled across a way to earn a lot of money. Studies on state lotteries have shown that people in lower-income groups gamble more frequently and spend a larger proportion of their income than any other group. Though the odds of winning are slim and none, desperate people do desperate things. The Temple Gateway suggests that this Page needs to learn that while money isn't evil, accumulating wealth is not the way to happiness. When it is made off the backs of the poor, using the vulnerable for one's own benefit, it crushes our compassion, increases our selfishness, and turns us into someone we might not recognize down the road.
