Like contact them online and just ask them for money?

idk, my latest money-making idea is just asking for it. Like make a website with a small advertising budget and just ask for people to give me money...make that the entire website.

Like I have some friends who said they basically slept with people just because they asked...but then again this is online so maybe harder idk. I could create an account system and give out trophies based on how much money people gave me and how often.

I want more money, and Im assuming people who win lotteries tend to be bad with money.

But I think the other idea of asking a wider range of people might work better.

Afaik it's only illegal to scam, not to ask for money and deliver on anything you actually offer. (Like the account system trophy thing you mentioned.)

Of course it's also not illegal for people to call it stupid or greedy either, which is something you'd definitely need to expect.

I've heard there are organized criminals that stalk and blackmail lottery winners into giving up much of their fortune.

I don't know why lottery winners have to go public at all.

What i was told, its so the lottery companies can go "look, you see this real person, they won!"
So basically, advertising, and showing people really do win i guess.

Its definitely both stupid and greedy...but I think it could work.

Or...million dollar countdown. Website is just donations and a countdown value. Lowers from a million by 1 for each $1 donated. At 0 theres a link to rickroll.

Because the Lottery company have to prove they themselves aren't scammers. They have to release the names of those who won, so the public can verify it was a legit win. ....otherwise it's the "McDonald's Monopoly" debacle all over again.
