Making Money easy...

Just had idea and yes a crazy Idea..., If everyone on this forum makes a deal with each other where we all just donate and give £1 Pound to 1 person on the forum on a weekly basis. So at the end of everyone week who's ever turn it is will get £110,239 as that's how many member's are on this board (Yes I know they're not all active users) but just an example

It would mean people would get rich quickly and the list of users would always be random so you cant choose and pick when your time might come it might be this coming Friday or a Friday in years to come..


Also it doesn't have to be just £1 on a weekly basis, the more everyone agrees will depend on how much you get but it would have to be the same amount for everyone.

Thinking about it this is almost the exact same as playing the Lotto on a weekly basis but instead aimed a a smaller fixed crowd which increase your chances.

Since its weekly there would only be 52 winners a year and if we have 110,239 users on this forum it might take some people 4.7 years to win a prize. However waiting just 4.7 years for £110,239 is surely good?


Or I just got my maths wrong and someone might have to wait 2119 years to win something... :/

It think its very do-able, if its not a weekly but even on a daily basis. If everyone agrees then what else can go wrong. What is a £1 at the end of the day out of your daily lifestyle and it could get you thousands.

How the hell did you arrive at 4.7 years?

The chances would be 1 in 110,239, which is 2119 years.

1000 people all put in £1 a week, and 1 person gets it all.

The winner gets £1,000. Yes?

It will take 1,000 weeks for everyone to have won.

If you're putting in £1 a week for 1,000 weeks, how much have you spent? £1,000. How much have you won? £1,000.

Nobody gains anything, you just move money around between you. A possible way of money laundering, not a get rich scheme though.
