Knock knock! Is anyone alive over there?

Zardoz's ticket has got him thinking!]
Hello future persons. I have a story of possible interest to you!
Just now, I received a golden ticket from the fortune telling machine up here promising me a prize of some sort. The catch is that I need to ask Zardoz nine more questions before I can collect it.
Unfortunately, I can't say I fret about the future overly much, and even if I did have questions, I wouldn't trust the answers that came from that machine. It's misled me once before, and I don't care to repeat my mistake!
If you have no such qualms and are interested in getting a ticket for yourself, all you have to do is insert a few pennies into the coin slot! Let it be known that I am a generous soul willing to spread my good fortune with you all.
Good luck!
-C.C.
