The form would be filled out by friends, family members, coworkers etc and the price for a ticket would be $100 paid for by their friends, not the person entered who wouldn’t know anything about it unless they won.
The drawing would have to be held in secret because the winners would have to be verified
as being as attested to in the entry form the entrant’s associates filled out. The criteria would be:
1- 50 plus years old.
2- In the same job for 10 years +.
3- Making only minimum wage all those years.
4- Kind.
5- Drug and alcohol free.
6- Positive disposition despite a hard life.
And 7- A moving background story of life challenges overcome.
Have a TV show to go with it maybe. Or not, fame is weird and not necessarily good.
Have it be monthly, grand prize is X percentage of the till, second place is 1/2 X, third is 1/4 etc.

So your plan is to find the most deserving people and bilk them? Shades of 8th. |
|
| |
Their friends pay for it but yes, their friends might have their money go to another deserving person. |
|
| |
Didn’t clarify that, fixed now. |
|
| |
But now that you mention it the lottery DOES tax the poorest people. Traveling cross the state stopped in a town that made the town I grew up in look like Vienna or Milan. Gas station store had three rows of booze aisles and 7 friggin lottery ticket machines. |

Of course the lottery money goes to “education”. Uh huh. |

If I take the words at their actual meanings, or any of their alternate meanings, I still don't underhend. |

Fixed, sprll chevk seems to be having issues |
|
| |
And I didn't write "sprll chevk" on purpose to be cute, that's actually what it thought I wanted to say. |

Wonder if the universe was sending me a message. Should I spend a hundred bucks on paint for the fur of any animal friends that live on a butte, like mountain goats or deer? I'm not sure if that's a good idea and I have a lot of questions. What kind of paint oh universal message thingy? I think that might actually be a really bad idea. |
|
| |
I think you're supposed to paint your butte with a hundred dollars worth of cosmetic improvement for the purpose of attracting hairy friends. |
|
| |
Well, guess I better get to work. If you don't hear from me for a couple of days you'll know I'm painting my butt with.... HEYYY! |

How I know this isn't *that* serious. |
|
| |
Feel free to change any of the parameters for this idea. It's descended into butt jokes anyway. |
