Hey Ben, Like I posted above, we worked with professional promotions attorneys and have impartial third-party judges running the competition, so as to make sure we are 100% within the law. Which is why we had to lave out our friends in Maryland, North Dakota and Vermont. Not to mention the rest of the world.

We’ve worked very hard to make this 100% ethical and legal. To no extent is Puzzllotto gambling, there is not chance or randomness at all. The only thing standing between you and the prize is your wit. We have worked with professional promotions attorneys and have impartial third-party judges running the competition.

“The Puzzllotto Prize is intended to keep people from doing that, motivated by that most reliable human trait — selfishness. Then, for as many as 30 days, there might be a puzzle that drove the whole world nuts.”

A quick google and twitter search shows nobody really working together yet – four days into contest.

Got me wondering about Mike’s assumption…. and the human trait — selfishness. Could it be tested? Bested? Let’s find out and work together as a group.

If I win, I resolve donate winnings… not keeping a penny. We’ll create a pole in this group and members can decide where to give the money.

I will encourage others that join Facebook group to do the same. At very least, will be an interesting experiment.

An international promotion is a lot more work, we just didn’t have the resources to do it right now.

It’s like buying a lottery ticket ($5 for a chance at up to $30,000), except with lots of extra work involved.

You welcome to keep it to yourselves – wish you Americans would stop making so many innocent peoples’ lives a misery.

I’m going to have to try this out, $5 for something that will entertain me during class or work, and could potential earn me $30 G’s, why not.

So, how tough is this game? So tough that it could be some kind of NSA test to recruit future cryptologist (s) a la the “Last Star Fighter”?

Clever, but its likeness to a lottery makes it look illegal to me. Notice how almost all unsanctioned giveaways have some free way to enter? That’s a legal requirement. I doubt this app is allowed. Not that I personally object.

It’s interesting there’s a law protecting people from this kind of thing, because human nature almost guarantees this will make lots of money.

Well, the prize is tempting, but I’d hate to spend $5 on something that is instantly going to frustrate me and I’ll never use again. Maybe I’ll give it a shot though.

Do you really think your shit is relevant? Please kill yourself with a fork.

These “get rich quick” and “make money on the internet” types are driving me to lunacy. With their back-link management and SEO tactics it almost sounds legit, but it is pure retardation (they think it’s 2000, pre-bubble).
