I said if they win with my numbers then I would like one quarter of the money and an elephant.
They decided to negotiate my request.
Them: I will give you a quarter of the money and you can buy your own elephant.
Me: I will take one third of the money and you can buy me an elephant.
Them: That is more money!
Me: Ok. I will take one third of the money, buy my own elephant and you can buy me a pony.
Them: What is wrong with you?
Me: Ok. One third of the overall jackpot. You pay all taxes. I will buy my own elephant and pony and you will pay for their upkeep.
Them: HUGE SIGH. I don't think you understand negotiations.
Me: Ok. . .half the money post taxes and I will buy and keep up my own animals and you can pay my race entries for life.
Them: I would rather pay for elephant upkeep.
Me: SOLD!!!
