just a thought..

if everyone on this site was to dontate a nice shiny new £1 coin....
to an account we could raise between us

approximately 15000 pounds . then we could do a monthly competition to see who wins that amount .

think how many of you play the lottery and never have a chance of winning.
so for £12 pound a year you have the chance of making £15000


anyone else think thats a cool idea lol

    we could even do it with just 1op and we could have a monthly prize of 1500 who would miss ten p.

  • Ah but who would 'look after' the money.. and how quickly would they disappear without trace? ;)

  • It would be a nightmare to organise - who's name would the account be in for eg and also there must be some major legalities over it? Very nice idea though!

    Aha - you got in there first IA! Just my thoughts exactly!
