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.

Re: The AF lottery

I can see a high potential for fraud.

Isn't it illegal to have a lottery?

Re: The AF 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?

Re: The AF lottery

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!

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.

Re: The AF lottery

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)
