It's 60 tix for $20. So at $10mil that would be 30million tix. Right?

Why the heck would they stop that runaway train?

Yeah but he was assuming majority was bought for the $20 for 60 tix. So odds might have been worse than lotto max! haha.

Watch. for game 4 they are going to be sold out by 1130am.

Edm might be no good for 99% of things but this isn't it. The Flames might not make this in 4 seasons of 50/50s.

Someone should set up a black market site to resell tickets lol.

My 200 tix are up for grabs at $5 each! Etransfer and paypal accepted.

They are the coveted "A" numbered ones. and not the sure loser "B"s

In all honesty, capping it does open the door for stuff like that. Is this an artificial cap so it doesn't get out of control? I'm not sure.

So how many did you want from me? haha

I'm pretty sure they shut it down as the 1600 homeless people they pulled from Jasper Ave can't keep up with hand writing 15 million tickets.

Two of my buddies bought 1000$ worth of tickets. i told them they were bat#### crazy.

I thank them for their contribution to my future luxury lifestyle.

I wonder if the AGLC was getting a bit uncomfortable with it.

[White Out 403]

Holy smokes that's a spicy meatball. Glad I was able to snag a few

That seems a little excessive.

I'm not poor. I suppose stupid is arguable depending on who you ask but I don't think so.

It's fun to dream. A small portion of money towards the fun of a possible windfall makes sense to me. If you're spending money you don't have on a wish then that is a different story of course but I think your comment is silly.

And yes, I'm glad a charity is supported in it all.

I agree with the lottery is a fool's errand viewpoint... that said I've bought 50/50s for the Oilers' games so far. Main point for getting these was the thought of better odds than lottery as described above.

Was going to do it now but noticed it's now closed, oh well.
