Seems like a good deal, maybe worth giving a try. No registering and no spam.

Although you have different IPs I would be willing to bet my bottom dollar you two are one and the same person. That is the oldest trick in the book - registering twice to post a site then to use the second name to recommend it :roll:

So it's a lottery site? What portion of your profits go to the charity? Personally I would rather give money direct to the charities than to line your pocket as we all know your claim about the charity is purely to make yourself more money through selling more tickets.

I will leave the link though and people can make their own minds up.

Obviously you know it all. Let's make a guess that this is the same person. I could say that your the same as the orginal person too if it wasn't for the fact that your putting the sight down. I only made the comment because I thought it might be worth looking into. There really isn't a way for me to prove that I'm not the original but I can tell you they do come through with numbers requested after paying. Even if I don't win I know that part of the profits will be going to a good cause. I think that's a win win situation. But at least thanks to you people can think of another side of the story.

Assuming you were the same person was based largely on the fact it was your first post and I'm still suspicious you are.

However, like I said, I would rather give the money direct to the charity. This 'percentage of profits goes to charity' thing is nearly always a sly scam as it could mean any percentage and they are usually backwards in coming forwards with the exact figure. My point is that the fact they have the charity claim means more people will buy the tickets and the group who run the 'lottery' will make more money personally, even after giving the undisclosed percentage to charity, than if no mention of charity is made in the first place. This is why they do it.

Someone falsly accused of such a thing would distance themselves from their original statement. Obviously you have something to gain by standing by it and saying more good things about this site.

I find you guilty and I smite you with my PsP! :twisted:

No I just stand by my word and as little as I may know about the world of the internet, spam, etc... This sight seems to be real. It's obvisouly a new sight and a little underfunded judging by its content. So maybe I am trying to help them out but that's only for my own greed and questioning whether this site will come through with what they have agreed on. I can give up a buck whether it gives me a chance to win or it goes to charity. If you have a real problem with the site write them to find out the real answer but don't cry at me because you think I'm not on a different IP address.

My post directly above applies to this one also. You're simply repeating yourself. It's apparent you have something vested in the site. The more you argue and defend the deeper your affiliation with it becomes.

Just let it go. :wink:

I am one of the creators of the website and you can not trust us if you want but don't put down the site because you are just uninformed. The two earlier post don't have to be the same person just because the ip-addresses are similar. You can check my ip address if you like, but you'll just say that i'm the same person just went to library or something. So you will never be pleased with any explination of ip addresses. And for you're information the percentage of profits that go to the charity is not posted because they are different for each prize. The prizes we have to provide, we have to raise money to pay for the item and shipping before we can give to the charity or keep anything for a profit. so if you count the money to pay for the item it ends up being like 20 percent to the charity. On the items we get donated we are giving almost all of it to the charity. but if you want a number i would have to say, 80 percent goes to the charity. So if you want an overall number I would have to say we donate nearly 55 percent of all money that comes in, but that number would be a lot higher if we got more donated items.
