CB2 Powerballs!!!! (in Contests)
I've come up with a fair game that would be fun to play..
This game is based on the upcoming Powerballs result from this website, so everyone can check the results at:
Powerballs
Basically, you are trying to guess what's the combination of odd and even of the upcoming Powerballs draws.
For example the 02/02/2005 numbers are :
So the winning guess would be:
Even |
Odd |
Even |
Even |
Even |
Even |
1 |
0 |
1 |
1 |
1 |
1 |
Since this game only has 64 combinations each guess will cost you $25,000 and each person can only buy 4 guesses maximum.
The total jackpot, if all 64 were sold, is going to be $1,600,000 and if no one win it'll be carrying over to the next draws.
One more thing, when you guess please put it in binary form so it'll be easier to keep track.
1 = Even
0= Odd
Example : 101011 = even odd even odd even even.
Lastly, Please do not buy other people's number, this will make sure that only one person will win the $1,600,000. When it gets too confusing I will let you know which number is still available.
Send money to: Powerballs
This character will not make any transaction except paying out the jackpot.
he's currently has my 25k
for my guess.

That's the winning combination
Noone wins this time :/ The closest number Masamuse.
Those who bought the tickets have 3 options:
1) Keep the same guess(es) for the next draw
2) retract your guess at the cost of transfer fee ($1000)
3) Choose new guess(es) with no cost.
Next draw is Wednesday 09/02/2005
The contest is open again now so BUY SOME GUESSES!
The Jackpot is starting at $175,000!!!
Since there's only a few people playing today is the deciding day.The combination closest to the result wins the whole thing, It's decided by converting the binary into decimal number.
Here's the result from the website :
02/09/2005:
09 10 15 18 29 09 = 0 1 0 1 0 0 = 20
( from http://www.math.com/students/converters/source/base.htm converting base 2 to base 10)
No one has this number but Masamuse is closest with 0 1 1 0 0 1 = 25
So the money goes to Masamuse, congratulation!
