What do you mean the drawing was done with "no winner"? What kind of chance are we taking by purchasing a Lottery Ticket?
I thought you'd basically put all that purchased in a bag or something and then draw a name. Or where we given Lottery Numbers?? I'm confused on this one Webby. Please explain...

Mii-Gwitch!!

geez, yuch, you just can't win for losing, huh? lol

Paul G · 11-12-2002, 11:53 AM

Sure, here is how it works.

On the ending day, I go to a link and click on an option to end the lottery and choose a winner. The program then goes out and randomly chooses a member. If that person bought a ticket, then they get the points. If not, then the points are carried over.

Does that make more sense?

11-12-2002, 11:59 AM

Yes it does. So basically you are picking from all the registered user's regardless if they bought a ticket or not. Right?? If they didn't the the "pot" will grow until you randomly find someone who has purchased a ticket. Correct??

Paul G · 11-12-2002, 12:01 PM

Right!

Which means the pot could get really large by the time we find a winner!

Okay now I have a question about the lottery ticket. I have purchased one but don't know what drawing it is for. How do we find out if we have already purchased one for the drawing that is happening that week.

Is there like anyway of finding that out????????

Paul G · 11-21-2002, 08:18 PM

There is just one drawing per week. If you go to the points page and try to buy a ticket, it will tell you if you have bought one already. And if you haven't, you'll buy it!

nah · 11-22-2002, 03:30 PM

Oh! Okay!!!!! Thanks........
