Title: Maybe not a new idea, but I haven't seen it in execution yet...(another PS)
Post by: alumar on November 28, 2014, 12:46:50 AM
So ... to keep in my photoshop 'whatif' series ...

Bottom line ... buy a lotto ticket, instantly claim via bitcoin ... or go about normal business and claim cash in store, but just another way to convert Fiat to Bitcoin.

Through "smart contracts" implementation solve issues such as winning the 5k a week for life by establishing the terms of the contract to your bitcoin provided address, then ability to manage transfer of funds through multi-signature contract changes etc.

Discuss the possibilities...

Congratulations, you appear to be the winner of $8.00 ($3.00 if you back out the value of the lottery ticket).

I somewhat doubt that they would allow you to claim the bitcoin via a QR code, as that it probably used for something else (probably for the store that cashes the ticket for you) as you would certainly have to pay taxes on any prize won (including the bitcoin prize).

I don't think this would be any different from any other annuity like prize as the amount of bitcoin they would give you each week would depend on the exchange rate of bitcoin each week

It is not a website, it is a scratch-off lottery ticket that you buy at gas stations and 7-11. I am going to take a wild (educated) guess and say that this specific game is only available in Illinois.

Really? You scratch off all of the "boxes" and if you match any of the numbers on the bottom to any of the numbers at the top then you win the prize under the matching number

Well it's a good idea but gamblers having strike a jackpot pretty much don't care whether it is bitcoin. They want cash that they can spend straight away. Imagine if a person suddenly has so much wealth on hand, would that guy think long term? Just my thought...
