I once came across a post where a person shared his joy with others after winning several dozen dollars. It made me think about the relativity of our winnings and the ambiguity of absolute winning amounts. Sometimes even I come across emotional comments from people with small winnings in the style of "it was the best day of my life!" And what do you think, can winning several dozen dollars become the happiest day of your life? Can this amount make you incredibly happy? It is possible that in your country or your area, things and services are very cheap. And for several dozen dollars you can buy some important things and services. But to be honest, I am at a loss. Unfortunately, prices in my country are high enough to be incredibly happy about several dozen dollars. But I would be interested to read your reasoning.
I believe that winning money may make someone so happy but a lot depends on a situation and a point of view a person has. To a person with economic problems, or at least located in an area where every couple of dozens of dollars can pay bills or buy some kind of treat, that money can be a sincerely valuable thing or, at least, a relieved sight. It is not about the money itself but what it symbolizes an escape of stress or an opportunity to have some nice thing. Conversely, on the next hand on the other side of the table, to those who live in areas where things are more expensive, or are made to be more affluent, the aforementioned winnings may actually turn out to be a little too minimal to even start with and may be very unlife changing at all. Sure, it is relative. And then of course, the emotional thrill of victory, regardless of how large or small, will in some cases create a sense of temporary heightening that is again worth something.


I suppose that the important thing is how such wins can be implemented into the life and necessities of a person. A small victory can improve a bad day or change something and it is worth being appreciated.
