It’s a “spread the love” thing. I don’t know that people are hedging their chances, but I wouldn’t recommend it as you can’t be sure we’ll ever offer something as good as what you may like right now. My advice: if you see something you like, give it a shot. If you win, great! Lucky you! Now give someone else a chance. If you don’t win, well, there’s always next time.

Which means that people might choose not to enter a contest because there’s a chance you’ll have a prize they like much better some time in the future, and they don’t want to be DQ’d from that by winning this. Does that make sense?
