Lesser Expectations

Almost two years ago I joined a lottery pool. Our objective: to "pool" our money and when the jackpot reaches 250Mil we'd use the "pool" to purchase a large number of tickets. (Purchasing tickets each week is time consuming, inefficient, and unsuccessful.)

In the first year there were only a few times the Jackpot came close to our target goal, but never reached it. So, just after 14 months, there were a few members suggesting we lower our goal believing we set it too high. Our groups leader decided we should stay true to our mission and keep it at 250M.

This morning, just after 19 months, I got an email from our leader indicating we will now lower our goal to 200Mil.
