Apparently it can violate some law but who cares?

We've got thousands of users here at Nightly. Some 20000+ of which many are active enough to participate. If every one of them gives the equivalent of merely one american dollar, then we draw a name at random from those that pitched in, that winner receives all the dough.

What do you think?

Why don't you just give me a dollar and I'll tell you that you didn't win?

It'd be worth a try. The giving me a dollar part, not the lottery. Just my thoughts.

I meant, it would be cool if 20000+ people sent in 1 dollar. Then we would all have a 1 and 20000 chance of winning. But, in this case you would probably get under 20 people interested.

A Great Brittan Pound, on the other hand would work well for me, providing I get to put in only a Canadian Dollar.

Well I didn't say all 20000+ members since so many are not active.

And the more posts you've had, the more entries you receive!

Oh, okay, I'll nix that thought.

You'll go bankrupt if everyone of your aliases has to send in a dollar, Prim.

This is one lark where aliases truly won't be allowed.

It's not gambling if you know you can't win.

That's up for the rulemakers to decide.

Okay, guys, thanks to Primbud's great suggestion, NEW RULE STARTING NOW: anyone who registers aliases has to send us five bucks a month per alias, or we delete all your aliases and change your Custom Title to "Darth Bane's Houseboy".

Now...what were we talking about? Oh, yeah, a boardwide chain-letter lottery. Um, no.

I don't do Internet gambling. Plus I already have two bucks to call my own. Thanks, though.
