My Last Days

Day 475, 09:56 • Published in Canada Canada

• by Vantica

Greetings my fellow Canadians. Although most of you do not know me, I have been in this world from pretty close to the beginning. During this time I have voiced my opinion a few times and fought in one of the first wars, but otherwise just kept to myself and worked quietly.....increasing my skills. Over these last several months my health has gone downhill.....I have been unable to work more and more. I finally left my last position and I've been bed ridden since, not able to do much more then watching the sun rise and set. The doctor says I do not have a lot of time left.

This troubles me in many ways, one of which is I do not have a heir. I've been pondering this problem for some time. Then I thought, why not start a lottery of sorts, and the money can go to some lucky Canadian?

I have quite a bit of gold and CAD sitting here. I will leave the full amount secret, but I will say it's over 20 gold and over 500 CAD. Quite a bit actually.

Edit: Added into this is my Q3 house, and my 4 guns. (3xQ4, and 1xQ3)

In order to participate in this contest each entry will cost 10 CAD. Donate the amount to me, and you will be entered. All this extra money will also go to the winner!!!

The winner will be drawn with some random generator of my choice when the time comes. The time will be just before I'm about to expire. I will post updates as we go along as well.

PS - Please do not try to help heal me. The doctor says it would just be temporary and I do not want to draw my pain out longer. Not to mention it would then take that much longer for the contest to be over.

PPS - Edited to add only citizens can enter. If you wish to give the winnings to your organization after the fact, go right ahead of course.

PPPS - Edited again to add that each citizen can enter up to five times only. That way it evens the playing ground a bit.

Thanks to Girth Gigolo for being the first to enter! 🙂

Why can't you just give it out.
Donate to the government~

Mustache Dictator Day 475, 14:09

what the heck, i could use the money

Set up a fund or some kind of memorial that will promote something you admire about eRepublik. Even if you cannot administer it, someone in the government can oversee it. You've been here long enough to earn some recognition.

Yonsil: I am pretty much just giving it out.....10 CAD is pretty much nothing compared to the final winnings. It'll give some Canadian who may not have had a chance to be more then a worker and to own his/her own business if they choose.....more then a basic business if they want. Or to give someone a chance to increase their current business.

Plugson: I suppose if I had thought of that I might have done so....but I've already laid out the terms and have some entries. Right now the odds are pretty great for those few entries actually!!

I'm not saying this is a scam, but why would you get people to buy tickets if you're quitting? It just makes this seem like a scam.

Vantica Day 476, 19:07

So the winner will get even more of a prize. 🙂 Also, it's easier to keep track of who wants to be entered. And I also KNOW those people want to win and are willing to take a bit of a risk to win.

So far I've got 4 entries with only three people, so the odds are pretty good for them so far. I'm planning on waiting until I'm at health of 6 or so, so there's quite a bit of time left. I actually thought it was going down faster, but oh well.

ok im in the reward seems to outweigh the risks pretty well here.

tylErection Day 477, 10:25

i'm in

Maxwell Hammer Day 477, 12:50

i'm trying to start a business, so i need the money, can you get more than one ticket?

Vantica Day 477, 17:26

Sure! I think I might put a limit on entries though. Maybe no more then 5 entries a person. That way someone with lots of money can't just buy up as many entries as possible. Obviously that person doesn't really need money then. 😉 Haha.

RoyMunson Day 479, 13:11

it does seem sketchy that you are charging for tickets.

Vantica Day 479, 20:51

That's fine. I'm not demanding that people believe. As of right now.....the entries don't make much of a dent in the total amount, but it is a bit higher. Makes things fun....and gives me something to do for a few days. 🙂 One of my believers will make some cash. /I/ think it's quite a bit.....though I'm sure lots of people have more.
