I would guess there were a lot of people on that flight who didn't 'need' to get home that night. United just didn't offer them enough.

I think it's entitled to assume that you're the only person who wants to be home, or who has important things to do when you're home. It was dumb of them to do the lottery instead of just upping compensation, and I think a big beneift of all this is that airlines are already upping the max compensation to bump passangers. But they had to do it because no one was volunteering to get off, and it's not like everyone will have a pow wow and unanimously pick who the least important person who doesn't have to be home is. That's the purpose of the random draw, tough luck but that's how it goes sometimes, roll with it like an adult.
It's like when you have a parent that doesn't do their part for the bingo night for their kids team because they're "too busy". When you say that you're implying that you're busier than the other people who are taking part, which comes off arrogantly as though they're not busy too.
