People often sell goods (or raffle tickets) as part of a fund raising project. These projects typically offer valuable prizes to those who sell over a fixed number of units. Often a grand prize, like a trip to Hawaii, is offered to the person who sells the most units. Why are these prizes offered? Relate this example to the high pay received by chief executive officers of large corporations.
