when I win the lottery...

[zaqrack]

then I have at least 800 000 000 Hungarian forints.



1. I buy an own server, leased line, and register www.stunts.ws. This server could host all stuntssites. (2 000 000 Ft)

2. I start advertising Stunts on big sites to get more pipsqueaks (20 000 000 Ft)

3. I buy the game from Broderbund, and make it totally freeware, not abandonware, and hire a team to implant multiplayer in it. (18 000 000 Ft)

4. I organize a worldwide stunts meeting, and pay the plane&food for everyone. (15 000 000 Ft)

5. I buy a 25th anniversary Lamborghini Countach, a Citroen SM, and a Lotus Esprit, but DON`T use them to make stunt-tricks.   (45 000 000 Ft)

6. So I spent 100 000 000 Forints. That`s 400000$. I feel happy. Invest the remaining money, and live happily.  





dreeeeeams.

I feel I won the lottery knowing this competitions and all of you guys!! From the first time this community is great for me, and I'm glad to be a member.

Some years ago I won a "great" amount of money with my first lottery ticket: 1500 forints (nowadays it means about 12000 HUF). But I was only 4 years old...

Maybe I'll make statistics about message posts / collected points rate. CTG is potential winner...

There's a big lottery mania in Hungary now: the winner gets 1,015,000,000 forints (more then 4 million dollars)! Zak, if you win that great amount, you can write a perfect Stunts 2!

Although I earned a lot of points, this one is still true.

Still...

Now it's 3,200,000,000 HUF (~11,000,000 Euro). Damn, I have to buy a lottery ticket.

The Hungarian record was 5,092,000,000 HUF (in 2003).

Don't you, as a natural scientist, understand probability?

It actually pisses me off when people buy lottery tickets hoping to actually win. It's a display of the same "I know better even though I know nothing"-mentality that makes religious people denounce evolution and makes SUV-drivers denounce anthropogenic global warming.

Don't you, as a natural scientist, understand probability?

Usually I don't play. But now - seeing the high jackpot - I gave a try. What to lose? Buying a ticket for 1 euro is really nothing, it's the price of a mediorce quality beer (not 10, 100 or 1000 tickets, like many people do). It happens once in every 2-3 years.

Probability of winning: no ticket = no chance, 1 ticket = 1 : 43,949,268 (~ 1:40 to win 3-10 euros with 2 numbers and have one or more Belgian beers from that; 3 numbers: 20-100 euros; 4: 1000-10000 euros). I know, even satanziege's ZCT 130 victory is more chanceful. And I expect nothing serious, so don't compare this to the religious madness. If I win something, I'll be happy. If not, who cares?

Sport bets are something different, but I'm ignoring them since my latest fiasco (UEFA Cup, Halmstad - Benfica, 12 years ago).

I don't think you grasp the difference between 1:27,369 and 1:43,949,268.

Also, buying 1000 tickets increases your winning chance by a factor of about 1000.

Also: I thought you liked beer!?

Medical treatments at moment, I mustn't drink...

It finished at 4,093,000,000 HUF with two winners.
