TM3 LOTTO?

[rick@garage16.ca]

hey guys

Well I dont think any of us will ever win 649 but how about we make up our own lotto game?


My girl works at TD bank and what they do is pick 7 numbers from 649. each week when 649 is played all you got to look for is your 7 #s.

They dont all have to come out on the same week but it will take as long as it gets to get your 7#s


ex.
you pick #'s 1,10,11,18,22,30,31

this weeks 649 numbers are 1,2,8,16,17,22,32,33

This means you got 2 out of the 7 numbers picked and they way to win is first member to get all 7 #s picked wins the jackpot


Thinking of $20 a member and winner takes it all

So like this one (http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?53236-Tired-of-working.-TM3-lottery-pool-anyone&highlight=lotto), except that
1) only one person wins instead of the whole group and
2) it's for 6/49?

No, what Rick purposes is basically like Bingo.

Don't you mean choose 7 numbers out of 49. 6+bonus.
It would likely take years for 7 numbers out of 649 to be chosen. If you don't take out the numbers already chosen.

Oooh, Ok.. I re-read it a couple times and now I get it.

Like an extended bingo game.

So it would only be one entry, and that "round" would go on until someone gets all seven numbers...
And then a new round would start?

Do I get it now? (Sorry, focusing on more important things like.. Oh, I dunno, work. :P)

hey sorry yes like a bingo game but members can pick same numbers like I pick 16 and so does someone else

at the end there may be more then 1 winner but if thats the case, it goes 50/50

so if you pick 1,10,11,18,22,30,31

you would have to wait as long as you can till the 7#'s come up before anyone else does

you may get lucky and get 2 numbers called out 1 week and 0 the next few..meaning you got 5 #s left to go

just like Bingo :)

There is already a lotto max thread going. I don't think we are going to allow organized gambling/lottery/bingo through TM3 other than the LM thread. There are too many variables and specifics in regards to winnings, etc.

It's just trouble waiting to happen.

well I have no problem in getting this together and taking care of it if that's cool with the members

I will have to discuss this with the other moderators but I don't see it happening.

[n00bMeiSter]

Yeah, I think this is too much work for it to work out smoothly. Plus who is going to hold the cash? And there's just too many things for this to go wrong so easily.

[cwp_sedan]

It is a unanimous decision that no lottery/bingo/gambling type games will be allowed on TM3. The LottoMax thread is currently the only cash-type game we are allowing since it is technically a legit ticket, and groups are allowed to play. At least until there is a problem with that anyway.
