It doesn't increase (or decrease) the chances of winning, just makes your job harder by keeping track of all the numbers pulled.cookieboy17 said:

@Hunt all I do is press a button and watch the numbers line up, then see who's 3 numbers show u first it it doesn't take much effort. I just figured we'd not do like a mega-ball and just do like a power 3 in analogy to real life lotto.

But it does nothing for the odds. (I assume the following will be confusing for some, but I will show the example anyway).
Scenario 1:
Suppose there are 10 people, and each get one number (1-10). First one who get's their number pulled from your random number generator wins. Odds being 1 in 10 chance.
Scenario 2:
Suppose there are 10 people, and each get 3 numbers (between 1-30). Whoever gets all three of their numbers pulled from the number generator wins. Odds still being 1 in 10 chance.
Even if you say the first person who gets one of their three numbers pulled, it's the same amount of chances/odds.
Just don't see the point in it. Just more work for you in keeping track with what numbers are pulled in comparison to what each member has for numbers.
And before the suggestion occurs, I would say it's a bad idea/suggestion to have members double up on their posts at risk for better chances (risking 10 posts for 2 numbers) just cause I can see that getting real outta hand here just cause of member personalities Just keep it one per person that wants to participate, and not cause the stupidity that will ensue.

K makes sense, and yeah I would try to avoid any like double up shit.
Also for March I'm thinking of starting the signups like March 15th and end at the end of the month and repeat? Sound good? Cause a month after signups is too long and it's kinda dumb to have sign ups right after one just ended.
But for this month it'll still go to the 28th.

It's not very often I get a chance like this, so you can count me in!
People who did not get their numbers I hope to get them to you later today, only reason I can't do it right away is cause I don't remember whether I assigned Caleb a number or not and I forgot to put it down in my notepad so yeah.
The lottery might get delayed a day to March 1st since I wanna do this live on the livestream thing.

Shortest. Stream. Ever.
I just wanna make sure people know this is like legit and not me pulling anything from my ass.
Now THAT would be a stream.
Lottery drawing will be appoximately 5 pm est tomorrow.
I'm gonna do this now.
And the first winner of the MPL Lottery for February is H-J! Hunt and Caleb came close, Hunt within one number.
Congratulations, H-J! You won a net gain of 100 posts! Until next time, March 2011 Lottery is coming up, eh?
March 15th sign-ups for the March lottery will begin, and March 31st barring another laptop breakdown will be the date of the draw.Vipsoccermaster said:
I came pretty close to calling Hunt the winner.
Hold on, let me deduct the posts from everyone if someone hasn't done so already.
Yeah I was wondering if you guys did it or not
I'll just put the sign ups into the news after you create it, I have it saved into my notebook for future reference. All I have to change is the month name and topic number from the url.cookieboy17 said:March 15th sign-ups for the March lottery will begin, and March 31st barring another laptop breakdown will be the date of the draw.Vipsoccermaster said:

EDIT: Unless you're going to use this topic all the time, therefore only the month is needed to be changed.
...Orrrrr you can let Cook do it since he runs the whole thing.Vipsoccermaster said:I'll just put the sign ups into the news after you create it, I have it saved into my notebook for future reference.
