Some math for lottery, and making moolah in general.

[Millard Grubb]

I appreciate the precise information on your tipping the chefs.

Looking at the numbers, you spent 20 bucks to get 3 winning lottery tickets.

You got the thanks from one of the cooks.

You got more food.

You got more ice cream.

Now, from a monetary standpoint, it looks like you got SOME benefit, but was the extra food and ice cream worth the $20? I wouldn't think so.

HOWEVER, I am assuming you had someone with you and this extra attention impressed them. I am also assuming that effort caused people nearby to want to talk with you to find out what was going on. Am I right?

Bottom line.... How much benefit did you get from the $20 you spent? Or is this something you won't find out until later?
