100% return lotteryWe provide a lottery where you get just as much back as you put in (on average), as long as you're willing to wait a while. We actually let you play the lottery without having to be stupid. Just wire some money to an account and get the same amount back on average, but distributed according to some desired probability distribution ...We will keep the money for 3 months or so, earning interest on it.Regular lotteriesLobbying costs, bank connections, servers, development time. Bank fees might be prohibitive. (bemmu) Some laws don't let just anyone host a lotteryWhy exit?twitter:mtrimpeSounds like a pyramid scheme.

- (sbauman) I'm not sure this is legal in the US (only gov'ts can run lottos i think)

Where's the potential of $millions?

- (bemmu) Even if you could implement this, which I don't think you could pull off, people who buy lottery tickets probably don't care or understand the "average return", and people who do understand it have their money in bonds / stocks / etc. instead
- (Blasa) Premium bonds in the UK serve pretty much the same niche. http://www.nsandi.com/products/pb
@jbialer But it's not a 100% return lottery because, as you mentioned, interest. So people who play your lotto would lose money in the long-term vs putting money in a bank/bond/stock.

- I had a similar lottery idea but it turns out (in the UK at least, im not so sure about the states) that the law says you cant run lotteries without a government license. And governments typically only have one national lottery.

A lottery is defined as a game with a cash price that requires no element of skill to play. Its the reason that on TV/radio phone ins they always ask a pointlessly easy question. If they didnt they would be liable for attempting to set up a non-licensed lottery.

Great idea in principle though. My idea was The One Penny (one cent) Lottery. Great mind think alike ay? ;) - bryn@thestartupscene.com

-it misses the whole point about gambling, I dont wanna wait 3 months. I want it fast.
