Pipe bacy lottery

[UtahRootBeer]

Just getting a feeler for if anyone would be interested in doing a lottery with pipe tobacco? I picture it running the same as the other lotteries. I think a fair payout would be like 3 ounces loose baccy with one having to be what you are currently smoking/enjoying or one tin. My reasoning for this is so its approachable to newbies too. So what is the thoughts and or changes? If we can get enough interest than I can kick it up higher for approval.

Yuuuuuuup!

In..........

Yessir!

 

[jvonier]

I would be interested. It would help in getting to try different baccy.

 

[RamzaFreak20]

I would definitely join in!

 

[javajunkie]

we need fifteen people realistically to make this work. would also need a schleb to volunteer running it. but, shit, could be fun. o)

 

[cgraunke]

Unless Utah was planning to, I'd always be up for overseeing it. I kind of enjoy the structure/organization aspect. And, the baccy pass is finishing up now anyway so I could probably use a creative outlet...
One more iron in the fire, right?! 😉

 

[cigarblunk]

Not sure on the rules but if we are short some guys I would always double down and take two spots until we get more interest.

 

[cgraunke]

Well, I count seven already in less than a day. Really no doubt whatsoever that we'd reach 15 interested parties in short order.
Java, is there any information that would need to be run up the chain of command? If so, is that something you could initiate?

Do we even have mentions lol

 

[Hoshneer]

Apparently mentions actually do work... Yeah, I might be into this. Let me think about it.

 

[H3rrington]

I'd be in

I have enough on hand to be able to play

nothing to make it formal, really, so much as someone willing to herd cats on it. it's a lottery, so it goes in the marketplace under lotto. also, whoever runs it needs to make sure the roster is full, manage adds and drops, and be willing to mediate if there were (unlikely) any disputes about prize payout quality (unlikely but it could happen).

(and we could go with another structure, but a 15 participant pool based in the mega millions' mega ball seems to work. or powerball, where we assigned multiple powerball numbers to participants: that would be decided by the easiest way to divide the Pball integers by the potential participants.)

just look at Jdog's work on the lotto, it's pretty exemplary.

oh, and consider this me being actively interested in a spot, were one open. o)

Yea I'm bewildered as well

 

[cgraunke]

Like buying lottery tickets...
Get 15 people, assigned numbers 1-15. Last Friday of the month the MegaMillions mega ball number is the winner of our lottery. All other participants send the winner their prize selections, in this case a predetermined amount of baccy.

 

[cigarblunk]

Here is the explanation from the cigar lottery

 

[cgraunke]

Except there are no longer 46 numbers in the MegaMillions drawing, only 15.
Guess we should probably have jdog get that updated in the lotto thread...

Seems simple enough, I'm down
