A city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a donkey from an old farmer for $100.00. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.
The next day the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey died."
Kenny replied, "Well then, just give me my money back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
Kenny said, "OK then, just unload the donkey."
The farmer asked, "What ya gonna do with him?"
Kenny----------"I'm going to raffle him off."
Farmer---------" You can't raffle off a dead donkey!"
Kenny----------"Sure I can. Watch me. I just won't tell anybody he is dead."
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, "What happened with that dead donkey?"
Kenny----------"I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at two dollars a piece and made a profit of $898.00."
Farmer---------"Didn't anyone complain?"
Kenny---------"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."

His arithmetic is off by $100
I believe you forgot that he paid $100 for it originally.
