Lottery?

Wonka2581 · 10-16-2014, 06:51 AM

Hey guys,

I had an idea for the forum, let me know what you think maybe it will or could fly.

I was thinking about maybe starting a lottery.. Like have a $10 or $20 buy in and once a week or month have a drawing... the winner would get the money from the buy in to use for mods from a vendor on the forum.. I think it would be awesome for people who are kinda strapped for cash to be able to get mods for the Z... also a percentage of the pot could be sent to Ak to keep this awesome forum going... let me know what you think. It would also be open to premium members only....

I sent a PM to AK about this...

Intensions is good but yeah I don't think this would work specially if it involves money. But I could be wrong.

Yes and No.

Question, what if your in Canadia?

Zoren 370 · 10-16-2014, 07:46 AM

Please elaborate why yes and no. It would be a good info for everyone.

Im with it if it would be legit and the rules are good and not open to questionable results.
Just like the judging at Znationals

Oh boy somebody is still bitter looser lol

kenchan · 10-16-2014, 07:48 AM

just do it on a boat in the river?

Zoren 370 · 10-16-2014, 07:49 AM

Yeah just like the mafia does! Lol

Aren't you 5-0 Wonka?

Don't call it a lottery, call it a raffle. 10 Dollar buy in to support the370z.com, (lets just say 10 buy in and AK keeps 10% for the site) and the winner gets a 90$ gift certificate for a forum Vendor. That's 100% legit in my book.

SouthArk370Z · 10-16-2014, 09:02 AM

I see a lot of charities and other non-profits having raffles (see andrewbennett's post above). I can't remember seeing one run by a "not non-profit."

Or we could each save $20 a week for all the same reasons and not have any tax consequences.
