Is that like when I go to a casino and hit the mega-quid jackpot on the slot machine, everyone else who ever dropped a coin in that casino is supplementing my good fortune?

Oh, yeah, I forgot, they are also supplementing the dealers’, wait persons’, janitors’, slot mechanics’, … casino owner’s net worths.

How many lose so how many can win?
