How much money did they burn on this? And for what? Nothing?
They paid for an opportunity. Sometimes paying for a chance nets you nothing.
If you end up with nothing in aggregate for the chances you pay for, you're a loser. Not in a pejorative sense, just as a fact, you lost.
If you come out with more than nothing, in aggregate, you're a winner, in the same objective sense.
Probably controversial. Eh.
