Hopefully he managed to do a deal with whoever won the 'Eternal Life' prize - maybe swapped the toaster for a pair of sandals or something. The 'Eternal Life' winner could then hang on to the toaster for a nearly 2,000 years until electricity was invented.

Would it have been funnier if the final line had been "But John cam fifth and lost his stake money"...... which is a similar joke I heard several centuries ago. It would do away with any arguments about electrical appliances years ago, but might lead to debate as to whether there was such a sophisticated take on gambling in the Middle east in those days.
