Has Gary *ever* used The Paper to make money?
Yes, but only for the greater good. In the “Pilot” episode, when Gary first started receiving the paper, he tested it out at the racetrack, winning at least $15,000, which he promptly gave to Marissa so that she could buy herself a guide dog. In “Thief Swipes Mayor’s Dog” Gary used his advance knowledge to buy a lottery ticket at the last minute, with a jackpot worth $20 Million. However, his purpose in purchasing the ticket was to expose a crooked lottery scheme and he did not keep the winnings. He instead gave it anonymously to a nun. In “A Horse is a Horse” Gary again used the race results in an effort to get Mike Paget out of debt and out of trouble with his bookie.
