Title: Starting lottery pool - PowerBall - All welcome to join!
Post by: Luciddd on May 28, 2013, 05:19:40 AM


I'm starting a lottery pool if anyone would be interested in participating.

For those of you who don't know what Powerball is, it is a lottery in the USA - www.powerball.com

Powerballs are drawn every Wednesday and Saturday night at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time.

The numbers can be in any order, view here for detailed info - www.powerball.com/powerball/pb_prizes.asp

Each ticket cost $2

Depending on how many tickets you buy will depend on how much of the winning prize you will get. For example, if we have 10 people in the pool, you buy 1 ticket then you'll get 10% of the money won. If you had 5 tickets, you would get 50% of the money won, etc.

To play simply send $2 x the amount of tickets you want to this address:

ONE TICKET = http://fizzisist.com/priceimg/img/2.00 (updated instantly)

I will take pictures of every ticket bought and post them here.

Example:

Any prizes won below $10 will be kept as a fee. All larger prizes ($100+) will be divided up and sent to each BTC address. To keep things clean, I will generate a new BTC address each time for every new lottery drawing that you send to. So for example you could view the current address here --> https://blockchain.info/address/15FuLb2V2WNmtsLgJZZTg1gvxRBtQyqqC6

All lottery numbers will be chosen at random to keep things simple.


=================================================

Current tickets bought: 1 (mine) (I will be buying some Wednesday)

The problem with this idea is since you're the one buying the tickets, there's no way for people to know they can trust you in advance.  Once that big payday comes rolling in the temptation suddenly takes hold and who knows what happens...
