Quads Christmas Lottery for Custom Drink Carts ***NUMBERS ISSUED***

OK, here's the deal:
My Christmas present to all you moaps.

I've got a little bit of extra material, so what I'll do it build a couple of drink carts and hold a lottery for them to a lucky winner.

I'll build the carts, you pay the shipping on them. (typically about 20 or 25 buck) for 2 carts. You will get 2 carts, bare metal, you paint and add wood, and you're good to go.

I have templates for the 211 carts, and I've got the material to do a couple of them.

So, reply to this thread to get your name in the lottery and you could win two of these:



I'm posting this at Keen's joint as well, as I'm pretty active over there, so keep in mind you are pooled in a lottery between two forums.

Give me some lottery ideas.
Reply to put your name in the hat.


**UPDATE**
LOTTERY DETAILS:

This will be a random number lottery. I like that because it's purely random and gives everyone equal odds in winning.

I have / have been adding each persons name to an excel sheet. In the excel sheet I can generate random numbers for a cell / next to someones name.
Once the list in complete (will leave open through the weekend) I'll finalize the list of names / entrants.

The entry list will close on Saturday Night, December 8th, 2007 at 12 Midnight. If you have posted in this thread prior to that, then you are in the lottery.

Sometime Sunday, Dec. 9th, I'll publish the list of names / random numbers. This will be a 3 digit number.

The California State Lottery has a "Daily Three" game. There are two drawings per day; Morning and Evening. When I post the complete list with the random numbers, I'll post the day / drawing we will be using. (most likely Monday)

Official (Unofficial) Rules, Fine Print, T&C's, and jibba jabba.
Awarding the prize to the winner:
* There will be no ties.
* If there is not an exact match for that days drawing, the next closest number will be chosen.
* Splits will be deferred to the following days drawing (eg. member number 100 / daily three drawing 101 / member number 102)
**YOU** are responsible for shipping costs.
* I'll box the carts up, and will accept paypal + fees to get the item shipped to you.
* I will **ONLY** ship via USP, DHL or FedEx. I prefer DHL because they are the cheapest (ground service), and I have an account with them and can do my shipping online.
*If you live in Canada, Norway, China, or BumbF*K'dEgypt, and you do not wish to, or decline to pay the shipping for the carts, we will use the following days drawing to award a new winner.
*If you are local, (Sacramento, Ca.) you are welcome to pick them up. (I recommend you bring a six pack of COLD beer (Grolsch, Fat Tire, Sam Adams, Harp, Bass, Sierra Nevada) as it is standard practice in my garage to "toast" the carts on their departure from my home to yours.
*The winning number / member must claim his / her "winning lotto ticket" within 48 hours. If not claimed in 48 hours, you will be removed from the pool, and we will take the next avail. drawing.

Good luck all-
Oh yeah- Happy Holidays!



12-10-07 **UPDATE**
I need to make an executive decision here and pull tonight's drawing and schedule it for tomorrow.

It seems that I screwed up more than just a couple of people and for some reason missed a large handful of people in the entry. So those that chimed in for a chance to win either didn't get numbers or are just now contacting me letting me know.

I'm terribly sorry, and I don't know exactly what went wrong but it was an issue on my side, and was my mixup somewhere.

So, in all fairness to all involved, I'm pulling tonight's drawing and will rebuild the list of entries and the list of numbers.

Again, I'm sorry, I feel like an idiot due to the screw up on my end.
Somehow I started doing updates to the list of entries and started missing people along the way.

I appreciate your understanding.

I'll post the new list tonight, and we'll hold the lottery for tomorrow (12-11-07) evening daily three number.


**LAST AND FINAL EDIT**
Ok, here is it. Everyone is included in this list. Again, sorry for the F* up.
The drawing will be on 12-11-07 at 7PMish. Look for the link above to check your number.

Re: Quads Christmas Lottery for Custom Drink Carts

Establish a list of participants in the next couple of days. Randomly draw the order of draft picks. Each person picks one player to represent them in the WPT Bellagio tournament that starts on the 12th. Highest finishing player wins his or her board member the rights to the drink carts. It may be hard to coordinate the picks with two groups of board members but I think you have enough time to make it happen.

Re: Quads Christmas Lottery for Custom Drink Carts

This is AWESOME!!! I'm in!!!


How about the poislb method? Once you have a set number of participants, divide by 1000 (amount of possibilities in a pick 3 lottery drawing) Issue that many non repeating 3 digit numbers to each participant. Select a state and date (I think poislb uses the NJ Lottery) and whoever has the winning number WINS!!!!

Re: Quads Christmas Lottery for Custom Drink Carts

Nice work.

Umm.. how about this for a contest? Everyone selects a single pick for an upcoming mega millions drawing or similar lotto. Everyone posts their numbers, can't change their post or they are out. Whoever matches the most numbers wins, in case of a tie, a random drawing to determine the winner.

Re: Quads Christmas Lottery for Custom Drink Carts

For my last lottery, I used the numbers from the Wisconsin Pick three ala Poislb.
To assign numbers, I used the entrant's number of posts, took the square root, and used that number for total number of chances for each person.
For my next one, I will use that but cap the post number at 5000 so that some big hitters around here can't completely dominate it.

This method favors the more active members here.
