How did "Bank" win the lottery?

?? Shouldn't one of the 20 or so people who bought a ticket win?

Buy a lottery ticket and hope that you will win the jackpot. The system will randomly pick a user who bought a ticket at the end

Thats what it says.

Bank provides loan and earns from interest

Can I borrow 2000 points? I can pay it back.....

1 point a year, for 2000 years.

GeorgeK you forgot the interest rate - and think about inflation too. Few months back there was I *think* a 50% inflation

Dan, how come no winner was selected for the Sept 2 drawing? Bank wins?

**Dan** · 09-08-2002, 02:35 PM

Yeah, Bank won. Someone made the username "Bank", entered, and won. I know, coincidence heh.

I may not have read the rules for signing up too clearly and I can't check now cause rules.php doesn't show anything but options that are on/off, but isn't it against the rules to sign up under another name?
Not just from a get points for referring new people point of view but also an ethical one?
If it isn't then i'm sure there may be a sudden influx of new members on the way that will never post.
