Are you focused on short term or long term cash? Suppose you were offered the following choice (with a rock solid government-backed guarantee that provided you’re still alive you’ll get the cash).

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
