I would rule out buying food or travel for Lois, though. Although he would obviously be deriving benefits himself with these, they would only be side effects -- indirect benefits, so to speak. The direct beneficiary of those purchases would be Lois, thereby violating the agreement he had had with the lottery ticket giver. The intent of the lottery ticket giver was that Clark be forced to think only of himself for a change.
I'll change this one to:
10. A box of fine chocolates that he doesn't have to share with Lois.
So, he can't use this money to finally ask Lois on that date and take her to a nice restaurant or honeymoon in Hawaii? Even though he's getting both food and hotel stay out it as well? I guess that includes sending Ellen on a two month cruise, huh. What man wouldn't want to be so kind to his intruding mother-in-law?
