In that regard you'd probably justify people "earning" their welfare checks because they preformed the service of going into the social security office and filling out the paperwork. Or, someone "earned" their lottery win by performing a service by walking into the liquor store and buying a ticket with random numbers on it that just so happen to match the random numbers generated by the [b]R[/b]andom [b]N[/b]number [b]G[/b]enerator and thus winning millions. In logical practicality, you won your Gjallarhorn. Not earned.
