Synopsis by Hal Erickson
The Castaways pick up a radio broadcast announcing the winning number in the $1,000,000 South American sweepstakes. Perhaps inevitably, Gilligan turns out to hold the winning ticket--or at least he would be holding it if it could remember where it is. Even so, in anticipation of Gilligan attaining millionaire status, the Howells (Jim Backus, Natalie Schafer) invite our hapless hero to join their exclusive country club--bringing the membership roster up to three people! The episode ends with another classic dream sequence lensed on the standing sets for the CBS western series Gunsmoke.
