| '''''Charlie and the Chocolate Factory''''' was a [[novel]] whose plot involved [[Charlie Bucket|the protagonist]] getting a [[Golden ticket|winning card]] and gaining entrance to something when he least expected it. Both [[Rose Tyler]] and the [[Ninth Doctor]] thought this was similar to the [[Percy the Porcupine]] promotion — every time someone bought something downtown, they got a scratchcard. If they got the right number, they could collect their prize. When Rose took her chances, she thought of ''Charlie'': "When you're waiting, hoping, desperate to win, you never do. But then, out of the blue, you get another chance. And that's the one. That's how it works."
