I don't know what he thinks of it, but everyone should give these two pieces (especially the second one) a read. I was absolutely ready to hate it given the title of the first one (I, too, am in the "buying a dream" rationality camp), but the second piece especially was just too damn good.

We have lotteries that give you this hope over period of time (albeit shorter).

It's radio lotteries. You send them text (paid). And they pick few people to call back and to inform them that they won.
