Can I Buy You A Drink?

Have you ever played the Lottery? Many people are more willing to play the lottery than to donate money. Why? Because there is something in it for them. Basically when you play the Lottery, you're giving money to the state. Because of the large number of people playing, you're bound to lose. Everyone knows this but billions of people throw there money away everyday.

Just like the Lottery, the Casino wins over time with lots of players. The casino is winning with every pull of the handle, every spin of the wheel, every toss of the dice, and every flip of the card! And still, people would rather throw there money away than Donate.

With that said, now there is a way for you to Donate with something in it for you too!

"Can I Buy You A Drink". This is a Donation where you can gain too, unlike pick 4 or the craps table.

This is how it works:

  • Donate $2 (if you Donate more the possibility of you receiving a Donation increases : $2 = one possibility of receiving a donation / $4 = two possibilities of receiving a donation)
  • Donations are made via PayPal (so you need to register for a free account at PayPal.com - it's the safest and easiest way)
  • Can I Buy You A Drink is limited to 20 Donations at a time which will max out at $40
  • As Donations come in you can view the stats in the side bar
  • Each participant will be assigned a number between 1 and 20 (or 2 numbers if you Donate $4)
  • Once the $40 goal has been reached, a number from 1 to 20 will randomly be
  • selected
  • A random number generator ( at this link ) will be used to select the number (for more info see random.org )
  • The participant who's number is selected will be donated half of the goal that was reached. You receive $20 via PayPal
