Larry wins the lottery and dashes to town to claim his prize. "Give me my $20 million," he tells the man in charge.

"Sorry, but it doesn't work that way," the man says. "You'll get a million today, and then the rest will be spread out over the next 19 years."

Larry is furious. "Look, I want my money..."

"...and if you're not going to give me my $20 million right now, then I want my dollar back!"

(Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy, isn't $1,000,000.00 on the spot and for the next 19 years-- to total $20,000,000.00-- a whole lot bigger than a dollar refund? The one in charge would loooooooooove to collect Larry's $19,999,999.00 after refunding Larry's $1.00. Silly old Larry!)
