Can I pay my library fine with lottery tickets?

From The Daily Northwestern, an article about college students and library fines. As usual, students complain about them, despite getting repeated warnings. Best bit: “‘A few years ago, a student asked me if he could pay his library fine off (it was just under $20) with $5 worth of lottery tickets,’ said Suzette Radford, head of circulation services for University Library. ‘We declined his offer.'” (via)
