9 mil....pffff.... I also thought it's worth much more than that Dammn if I had only known that it's gonna go for just 9 mil, I would have bid more myself

First thing i thought after read this news was "only $9M?" Seems like everybody did. But we have to think in this enterprise as the owner of the rights to manage the business and not the business itself. It was the same thing as the company who have the rights of Euromillions Draw (european international lottery) sell the business. It wouldnt cost as much as a lottery prize, it would be much less, in fact (Euromillions prize is every week a minimum of €10.000.000 and can reach up to €120.000.000, more or less 170 milion dolars)
