Lottery

Post by [JiF]phantomx »

Ok, here is my theory on the lottery....

If you are on the JiF site or on shortly after the draw time, you win. Or the lottery picks first from "online" users first. If by a certain time (about a few minutes after the draw), if nobody is online then the lottery picks from the general pool.

The past couple of times I have either been on the JiF site, reading, posting or just navigating around at the time of the draw and all of a sudden I see that I am the winner.

If somebody else wants to test this theory go ahead. I am going to retire for a bit with my peanuts.

Mike I am not sure if there is anything with what I have said that is true or if you can change around the logic of the lottery abit.

There goes your theory. I just won. Unless.... maybe no one else was on and I was part of the random pool to get selected.

You mentioned that theory in the shout box a while back.
I tried it and it didn't work, unless someone else was online too and it picked them instead of me :medit:

Hit it again... the SECOND I signed on. 1:43pm sign on, message from peanut angels at 1:43pm saying I won. Funny thing is I wasn't even signing on to check the theory. I was just kinda bored after doing lawn work and wanted to see what was up.

Ok Phantom... you're making a believer out of me yet.

The conspiracy theorists told me today that it's not a lottery at all.
The peanut fairy is really Mike & he chooses who wins & is more likely to pick someone who is on-line at the time!! :shock:

Yep, now it costs more to play, doesn't happen every day, and nobody wins :roll:
