The AF lottery

I just thought of a Bad Ass idea. What if Af had a monthly lottery that AF members contributed to. Say 5000 members all buy a ticket for a dollar then at the end of the month a ticket is drawn out of a hat of the tickets bought and the winner gets all the money from the ticket sales. Like the real lottery except alot smaller where there is a much greater chance of winning for everyone. Obviously there would be some legality issues, but i think this would be freakin awsome cause it could help people for their project cars, and who cares if you lose its only a dollar a month.

I can see a high potential for fraud.

Isn't it illegal to have a lottery?

I don't think it's a good idea, and not even sure it's legal. Why not just have the members click some stupid advertisement?

If this was a perfect world, then maybe. I'm thinkin' if we go through with such a thing, someone, like me, should hold onto the money. I can be trusted to distribute it to the winner! :D

In most states I believe it is. But if it's held in a state that has a lottery, I would imagine as long as taxes were paid it would be all good.

Alright...get the foreigners out here to discuss whos country to run this in.




And we have to vote on the person who would make the draw.

First, find me 5000 active, willing members.

LOL. Complete mental block there. Can't leave anyone out, no way no how.

3. <---- (once in a while anyways)

4. Indyram...oh yeah sign me up

Um...lottery=gambling, gambling=illegal for minors here in the US. That chunks a BIG group out from eligibility.

Good luck with it though. Oh, and I vote Iggy or Jake make the draw (duh)

lol im in....but i doubt 5000 will

5000? Do 5000 different members even check out the OT areas???

Thread in the model forum!!! POST EVERYWHERE!!!

Oh right, I'm in.

how about we all buy a ticket to potentially win a prize? something like a nice model car or something I dunno. That way the winner gets something nice and AF get ssome revenue for server issues. I'm sure everyone has noticed the slowdown lately.



Anyway back to the idea. I doubt it could be illegal the way I described I mean the local fire departments and all kinds of old lady rotary clubs or whatever they are called are constanly selling raffle tickets ( I won a smoked ham once) so why couldn't we start a raffle and give away a nice prize. seems like Af wins and the winner will know what he is buying a raffle ticket for so if they win they will be happy. If we got a couple hundred or even thousand (if we are lucky) to buy say a 2 dollar raffle ticket I think it would be cool and helpful.

ok i just thought of this. maybe even if it is illegal for AF to do it why couldn't a member hold it in AF's place and then donate the earnings to AF? going back to the firemen or whatever, if they can do it why couldn't I start up a raffle and then give the money to AF? I mean if it is clearly described that you a buying a raffle ticket that may or may not win then its your own fault for buying one if you lose right?

Here's my response to this idea .....

How about we set up an Investments sub-forum and you guys pay me to give you recommendations?

yea i was thinkin if a portion was donated to charity and a portion to AF, The charity would take care of the legality issues, and Donation to AF would give them the incentive to set it up. But it is a far fetched idea

what are we up to, now? A whopping 4?
