Buy a Rabbit's foot

You hit up the stores for rabbits feet. Unfortunately, rabbits feet have been declared unpopular by the fad police, so they're very hard to find.

Eventually you give up and butcher a live rabbit for its feet. Sadly, the foot of a rabbit gives you no luck, only a "wrongful death" lawsuit from the rabbits family.

You win the case, but legal fees suck up all your remaining fortunes. Woe is you!
