Yeah, so what?

I mean, I don’t really understand people who rush to the store to buy a lottery ticket when the jackpot gets bigger. To me, 30 million dollars isn’t really more motivating than the usual - what is it? - 7, 12 million dollars? 12 million does me just fine, really.

It’s exactly as if someone offered me 12 million dollars to do some job, and I said “no, but make it 30 and we have a deal”. Wouldn’t happen. If 12 million dollars isn’t good enough to make me buy a ticket, neither is 30.

However, I did join the company ticket pool. There’s no way I’m going to be left out if everyone around here strikes it rich and quits.

30 million isn’t enough to make me play the lottery. But avoiding looking stupid sure is.
