Well, there are different levels of celebration. If I hit the lottery for 10 million dollars, it's time to throw an all nighter. If I hit the pick 3 for 150 bucks, that's nice too. Just not inviting the entire family over to party.
Similar to when baseball allowed only 4. Being one of those 4 was a big deal. Being 1 of 16 in the playoffs, and getting in with a losing record, not so much.
