Definition
A family budgeting strategy where one randomly selected household member gets to skip lunch while everyone else eats—a ruthless yet resourceful way to cut grocery costs. It's basically Russian roulette but with sandwiches and way less dramatic.
Example Usage
Times are tight, so we're implementing lunch lottery; I got picked three days in a row and I'm pretty sure it's not random.
