They even had to do a lottery were the winners won the grand prize of getting to pay for a Nintendo Switch, these people were only lining up for the chance to buy one. |
Well a line of 3,000 makes sense for a lottery. 2750 people would otherwise be idiots. Why would someone wait in a line of 3,000 people if only 250 of something was available. Only the front 250 should stay. Even the most optomistic person would realize that after 1,000 peopl were already in line that they have no chance getting something with quantities of only 250.
At least with lottery, the person in the back now has a 250/3000 or 9% chance of getting a Switch when otherwise he woudl have a 0% chance.
