Samantha Jenkins won a Mega Sweepstakes on live holo-TV.
“Congratulations, Ms. Jenkins! Please select one of these three prizes:
“A New Oasis Home on Mars.
“Consciousness uploading to an android body for life extension.
“Fifty million tax-free universal crypto credits.”

Jack barked, wagged his robotic tail, then hopped off the couch—ready, willing, and able.
