lotto syndicate

[Xena]

Well I won my £12.70 on the euromillions today haha. But anyway it got me thinking - what about setting up a pregnancy forum syndicate?

Just an idea

 

[paradysso]

or do a bonus ball thing? i did it on another forum, but never won

 

[lozzi]

Yeah thats sounds like a cool idea... id be up for the bonus ball idea...


We could do it on paypal, send ur weekly payment there and ur prize is awarded thru paypal.

 

[sarah113]

sounds like a good idea

How does the bonus ball work?

How does the bonus ball work?

I used to play a door to door version for a charity.


Everyone pays a set amount i used to pay £2.


Everyone has a set ball of there choice.


So you'd hav a list:


eg


1 Xena
2 Lozzi
3 Urchin
4 etc


IF a number is drawn that is a members as per list, then the person wins ALL the money that is put in eg, all the £2's.

IF the number is a number that noone has picked, then its a "rollover" till the next week.



If we were doign it it would have to be paypal i think for ease of use. Obviously though, paypal would make charges, so there wouldnt be the full prize amount eg (20 people playing, there wont be £40 price, as paypal deducts some)


Does that make sense? lol

I'd be in too, i used to love the bonus ball, but after i left work i didnt carry on playing it.

 

[Lola's Mummy]

Can i play?

 

[A&J]

Can I join please?

 

[Xena]

oh okay I see, so there's no actual buying of lottery tickets involved? It's just purely done by everybody putting money in a 'pot' (i.e. paypal)?

yeah



so long as all the numbers are filled then one of us WILL win everyweek

sounds good to me. Mods is this allowed?

Who else is in?

Shall we say £1 or £2 a number?

if it is allowed we'd need to do some rules

 

[Xena]

yep definitely, rules are a must.

 

[glitzyglamgirl]

Sounds good to me!

I'll see what Laura and the other mods think
