(colloquial) a variation of you pays your
money and you takes your choice, what will happen is a
matter of chance or
luck, suggesting that when faced with a choice between two
similar possibilities or alternatives, one might just as well rely on
luck. The
phrase comes from a rhyme used by
English traders with
market stalls:/"Whatever you please my little dears:/You pays your
money and you takes your choice./You pays your
money and what you sees is/A cow or a donkey just as you pleases."
