Thread: Anyone want to join a lottery scatch off train?

Hi
I was thinking it would be fun to start a scratch off lottery train. I would be willing to run the train. I was thinking we can start with 8 people. I will send (5) 1.00 lottery tickets to the fisrt person who joins. They can then take 1, 2 or all 5 tickets and then replace them with however many tickets they took from their state and mail to the next person on the list. This way you are guaranteed as long as everyone follows through of getting lottery tickets. Please email me with your name and address and will get together a list and we can start the train. If you are lucky enough to win you would mail your winning tickets to collect your winnings. Addresses are list on each states lottery website.

Thanks

I am game I think lol. We would need to mail any winner tickets cause you can't cash them in a diff state so then you have to worry about the whole trust issue.

Great minds think alike Deb lol

I am game then.

This site might help. They're probably referring to big organized things and not people who give gifts and such but wth knows these days.
