Buy a expensive item from a nasty-looking place
or
Buy a cheap item from a tidy and clean place

I'll definitely buy a few cheap items in that clean and organized store, if I buy on that nasty looking place who knows what kind of disease and germs I might catch and that would cost me more money if I get hospitalized, and besides I'm not a millionaire to begin with, I'm just a simple kid with a simple life and don't bite anything more than I can chew,so no need to worry about having monetary debts ^_^

while that tidy and clean place is popular to dropping millionaires to debt-ridden people

Hmm.. this additional description about the choices makes it hard to choose between the two, but I'll put it this way, the nasty looking place is where future millionaires gather, they sell their merchandise way beyond the suggested retail price since the rent of their stalls are way too expensive since the landowner of the whole bazaar needs a lot of resources to renovate the whole place in a short amount of time, thus the peddlers in the vicinity have no choice but to increase the recommended price, although their items are being sold for an unreasonable amount of money, people still patronize their goods and as profit flows in, even if the rent is expensive they still have enough pocket change to build up their fortune.While on the other hand, in the clean and tidy place, proclaimed millionaire businessmen suffers through enormous amounts of debt because of the same reason as the "nasty looking place", the rental fee of their stalls are very expensive yet their products are being sold in an economic and friendly price, but unknown to their customers, their products are not well built to last for a long time, as more people knows about the fact that their products are not durable and trustworthy, most of the people stopped buying their goods, less and less customers frequents their establishments, and since no profit comes in, little by little they use up their millions of fortunes to cover for the rent and other services and thus this marks their declaration of bankruptcy and loading themselves the burden of unnecessary debt problems.

Next Question: In a person's entire life, which of these two have a higher chance of occuring?

A. Participating and winning a mega jackpot prize alone on a nationwide lottery with 50 million betting participants?

B. Or strucked by a sudden lightning on a clear sunny day?
