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.
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.
Corrected entry: The Skipper, Gilligan, and The Professor coat their clothes with molten lead so they can get close to the meteor. Later in the episode, their clothes are back to normal.
Correction: They are no longer close to the meteor at this point. They are in a different area making a lead-covered lightning rod. Remember, Gilligan woke from his dream during the storm and ran quite a distance in the meteor's direction, and also threw the rod over to the meteor, so the three weren't that close at all.
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.
