Before Homer buys the ticket, Bart attempts to jump off a shelf into Chief Wiggum's cart full of marshmallows.
However, Wiggum moves the cart, and Homer must catch his son while Lenny buys the ticket.
Bart likes his new life until he meets his half-siblings, Devan and Quenly, who resent Simon for blocking their full inheritance of the family fortune.
Bart realizes that Devan and Quenly want to murder Simon so they can take his share of the inheritance.
The episode's couch gag, with the family being swept up in a tornado and taken to a black and white farm is a reference to The Wizard of Oz.
[5] One sequence features Bart passing the mansions of several celebrities, including actor Macaulay Culkin (shown in his scream pose from the 1990 film Home Alone), Fleetwood Mac's Mick Fleetwood and Stevie Nicks (shown posing in the same way as the cover of their 1977 album Rumours), and "McDreamy" and "McSteamy", referring to the characters Derek Shepherd and Mark Sloan from the medical drama series Grey's Anatomy,[3] as well as an actual McDonald's restaurant.
Inside the Woosterfield mansion, Simon's room features a ceiling from one of Saddam Hussein's palaces.

[2] Robert Canning of IGN said, "It was a far from groundbreaking episode, to be sure, but our familiarity of the characters and the fair amount of laughs made for yet another pleasurable viewing experience".
He went on to state, "The story as a whole was interesting and the jokes were funny enough to elicit several audible guffaws" and rated the episode a 7.8 out of 10.
