Anyone up for a kind of fun, harmless chain letter?
My sister sent me one where you send a $1 scratch ticket to the person at the top of the list, and then send a $1 scratch each to 6 other people.

If everyone plays, you end up getting 36 scratch tickets over the course of a couple of weeks.

And of course, there's no guarantee you'll win, but, for $7 bucks, it could be kind of fun.

I need 5 people to play... if you want to, PM me your mailing address.

but you see here, I'm only sending to people who are willing to play. And if they only send to those willing to play, and so on and so on... everyone invests $7 and gets $36 in scratch tickets.

I get that there are scams and the like. I'm trying to avoid that by actually asking people whether or not they want to participate.



(on edit: I don't see anything on my letter about Nigerians, and the neither of the two people on my letter are Nigerian)
