WOULD YOU SPLIT A MILLION DOLLARS WITH A STRANGER?
I know somebody who actually won a million dollars from the ‘BE A CHANGI MILLIONAIRE’ competition-lucky draw.
For those who don’t know, this is a very clever annual campaign run by the Changi Airport Group since 2010 to stimulate retail spending in the airport. To participate in the Millionaire Draw, passengers and visitors needed to shop or dine at Changi Airport, with a minimum spend of S$30 in a single receipt, for a chance at being picked as a finalist.
The person I met was a Singaporean who was picked as one of 7 finalists, and on the day of the grand draw, had to be on stage to compete in a series of activities in front of a live audience at the airport.
After three elimination rounds of activities that mostly required luck, this Singaporean had to compete with a Caucasian dude from the UK in an activity in which they each had to pick a picture of half a boarding pass.
Whoever picked a picture that matched with an existing other half on stage, would be declared winner of SGD$1,000,000.
This was an activity of PURE CHANCE.
As he shared this story with me, he reminded me at this point that,
- He was one of 7 finalists picked for the finals from over 2,000,000 entries into the competition => GOOD LUCK
- He had just survived 3 rounds of activities that mostly required… GOOD LUCK
- He now has a chance to win $1,000,000, if he picked the right picture, which is dependent on… GOOD LUCK.
So they each made their choices, and now awaits the reveal of the result on stage in front of the massive live audience, the event host riling the atmosphere thick with excitement and anticipation…
He turned to the English dude…
“Hey, would you like to split the prize no matter which of us wins?”
WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE CHOSEN?
