Buy a Lottery Ticket: Win the Jackpot!

http://www.dnforum.com/store.php?=main

"The system will randomly pick a user at the end"

What prize if win? What if the one who got picked does not have a ticket, will it pick again until winner found? More tickets won't improve chances?

I no nuffin, so I got to ask sumfin.

The new lotto system: They will run for a few days each. Everyone can only buy 1 ticket, and if it picks someone who didn't buy a lotto ticket, then nobody wins

But, the jackpot carries on with every lottery session, and each time someone buys a new ticket for $10, it increases the jackpot by $10.

It might be hard to win if not too many people participate, though.

Dan,

Is this legal ?

Why not run a real lotto syndicate ... form a syndicate of members and buy real lotta tickets from around the World.

The jackpots are in the millions of dollars, most Countries have them 4 times a Week in Australia.

I don't like the idea...

I just changed the system so that it will only pick a person who bought a ticket (and not any random member and if the member bought a ticket he would win.. and if not, nothing would happen). This way someone will always win, the current contest will end tomorrow night, who will be the lucky winner
