~Announcements!~
Hey everyone! We've just made some MAJOR announcements on
THISPAGERIGHTHERECLICKTHISLINKOKAY
and it explains why we're closing. biggrin heart

~MaLink and G.I. Mule

~Who We Are~
The G.I. Lotto is unique out of all the lotteries on Gaia in the fact that all profits and tickets are untouched by me-- everything goes to buying better items for the next lottery or donated to someone on a quest! Pure lottery! Where else have they done that?

For additional security to your money, we've created the the G.I. Lottery Vault account, G.I. Mule. That way, my personal account will never be mixed with the lottery funds!

biggrin I love Gaia, and I want to be respected, not blacklisted!

~How This All Works~

IMPORTANT FIRST NOTE: Send ALL trades for this lottery to G.I. Mule, the account made especially for this Lottery. Look for this image below for a helpful shortcut to the trade window!

User Image

~You can buy as many slots as you want-- just send the trade with correct money or tickets, and you'll have those slots in no time!

~When making a trade, please follow the individual lottery specifications so I know where you want your slots!

~If you want a particular number, just let me know which ones. smile

Remember, I don't use ANY of the profits or tickets for my own benefit. It all goes toward the next lottery! 3nodding heart biggrin

Second Important Note That Isn't So Important as the First:
The only refunds that will happen is if the entire lottery goes bust. And since this lottery has gone through four long rounds already, it's highly unlikely the fun will end now! biggrin

Payment

We accept gold for the Mini Item Lottery and tickets in the Prize and Joy Lottery!

If you want to donate heart we love all sorts of stuff! If you don't tell me that you're buying a ticket, it automatically gets donated, however. sad DON'T FORGET TO SAY IF YOU'RE DONATING OR NOT!

Note: I may have found a slot for you, but if you haven't paid or confirmed your order, it's not fair to others who have paid if your slot wins. Therefore if you "win" and you haven't paid, I toss it and choose again.

~Miscellaneous~

The Official G.I. Lotto Banner credits go to my fabulous best friend, PyroSyde (who happens to be an MS Paint God).
