Corrected entry: When Gilligan is declared the winner of The Sweepstakes, he's suddenly treated in a "rich" manner (such as being allowed in the Howells' private club). Upon finding out the ticket was for the previous year and Gilligan did NOT win after all, he's treated "poor" once again. They are on an island where money technically does not exist, so what difference would it make about The Sweepstakes winnings one way or the other? Even the Howells' money is irrelevant on the island realistically.

Gilligan's Island (1964)
Corrected entry: They build a raft/cage for Leo and send him off (likely he would not survive the trip anyway) without any thought of attaching a note telling people where they are.

Correction: This is not a plot hole. It is a character trait of the Howells. Yes, their money is irrelevant for as long as they're on the island. But for them, it is perceived wealth that they use to determine their treatment of Gilligan.
