Sadly, it seems my ticket was not a winner:
Results:
https://mylotto.co.nz/resultsNobody won the Powerball jackpot, so it has rolled over to $3.2 million ($5 million NZD). The next draw will take place on June 24, 2020. In the event of a first division win, signature campaign participants will be entitled to an equal share of $320,000 (10 percent of $3.2 million). Here is the ticket for that draw:
I'm in! Is OP Mark Karpeles?
Back in 2014, I was surprised to see this username was still available. So I registered it. But I am not Mark Karpeles.
But how can you verify that people are using the signature all the time?
It could be manipulated by put the signature immediately after they find out your ticket are won.
This is interesting and a bit complicated at once.
If you are really serious on your giveaway then you should require them to apply here or fill up a registration form so that you can track them and check whether they are still wearing signature or not. Because this campaign will be easily abused in case you REALLY WON the jackpot. Anyone can wear the signature right after you announce that you won the jackpot.
Yuppp , i mean but how can you make sure that those people are wearing the signature all the time without removing it in the middle of the game ?
Someone could claimed and registered as a valid participant until it gets closed and then few days later they change the signature ... and then comeback later whenever there's a good news like op did really won the lottery and changed back the signature?
The draws take place at ~8:00 PM NZT on Wednesdays and Saturdays so I'll try to take a snapshot of this thread and my PMs immediately before each draw (the last snapshot happened at 7:47 PM). I suppose it's possible for someone to change their signature to the prayer message when the snapshot takes place and then change it to something else after the snapshot is over but that seems more trouble than it's worth. Only wearing the signature after the draw is over and the ticket is confirmed to be a winner wouldn't work since it wouldn't show up in the snapshot.
Any 'participants' yet
?
I am eager to see what will fishnet catch, some bug fishes or many small ones.
Can't believe what some people wrote before
We have 10+ participants now!
A few of those have posted in this thread and a few have applied via PM only. While not mandatory, those who applied via PM only should also consider posting in this thread to make their participation part of the public record (and also as reassurance in case my account gets hacked).
