- (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? ;) -
