If fate gave you a lotto ticket...

I've not much time but I want to get my thoughts out before they vanish, if only so I can look back on them later.

An offer has come to my attention today, an offer that may actually boost my traffic on youtube.  To me it seems like a lotto ticket, a chance to win big or remain as I am.

The demands are resonable and they have results to back up their claim with a quick browse of the internet.  All I have to do is agree to make money, but thats the problem.

I went into this thinking that I would never make money, that I just kind of liked messing around with adobe as something to do and always just loved people looking at my stuff but now that theres a lottery ticket in front of me that sais I could actually win something, all I have to do is try do I want to try?  If I scratch the ticket, win or loose it suddenly becomes about money and legalality of my content.  Doing it just for skills sake doesn't usually result in much a backlash legally so long as you're not making money.

This is just a quick thought but it's something thats been lingering in my head the last two days.  Do you scratch the ticket, admitting its about money, or just go on in obscurity refining your talent? 

Maybe I'll just tell myself that being with an organization will help refine my skills since they did promise to teach me stuff...  I think I'll scratch the ticket before long.
