Birthdays allow people in most cultures a chance to receive gifts on their own special day once a year. At Christmas, on the other hand, some people who are not given presents may feel left out. It is a tricky issue for religious minorities in predominantly Christian countries. The Netherlands provides an interesting, though secular, example of how people can respond to others' luck. In a weekly lottery, about a third of the Dutch population waits for the one-in-430,000 draw of a winning postcode. All ticket-owners in the lucky area get a cash payment of about EUR 10,000 ($13,000) and one of them receives a car as well. It is like a local Christmas: everyone in the postcode knows that some neighbours have won. A recent study found that the neighbours of winners are more likely to buy a new car within the next six months and might refurbish the outside of their house, even though they did not buy a ticket.
