In the 80's this happened to me on the old Midway Airlines. I was the first off, for an offer of 1 rt ticket. By the time they got all 7 needed volunteers, they had to up to offer to 3 rt tix; the GA said "I don't know who got off for what offer, so I'm giving all of you the same three rt tix".

Came in very handy that year.
