So on the plus side, we will not see people posting one word messages here for a while, but on the other hand, as we get near the 10 Mil mark, the server will crash as everyone attempts to get the prize. I think SI should have kept their mouth shut and just tell us about it after the fact. Even better, they could have held a "best 3 essays" or "best contributor" contest to [temporarily?] improve the quality of average posts.
