TARloveit:
One would be crazy in my opinion to pick the million.

G.B.:
Two things...

1: Jon said at the starting line of Season 3 that this year's prize totaled almost $1 million, unless I misheard him.
2: When the Bransen Family won "free gas for life" back in season 8, they revealed later that there were quite a few stipulations to this, and that "for life" was just an attractive little label that didn't really mean "forever, infinitely until you die".

Marionete:
That might mean that there was a set amount of gas, they had evaluated should be enough for your life. :lol:

This would be so that, for example, you don't buy gas for all your friends and co-workers.  :)

The website said it uses 50 years in order to evaluate the value of the gas for life prize.  Not sure whether that is a limit or simply an actuarial estimate for valuation purposes.

I would still share the gas. :funny: 50 years.... that's still a lot in my perspective. I would be ecstatic if the estimate is even a year of free gas.
