NEW RULES FOR THE ABW LOTTERY
This lottery will be held Monday-Friday, with a special lottery drawn on Saturdays.
Posters win by correctly guessing a 3 digit, 4 digit or 5 digit number. The winning number will be the last 3, 4 and 5 digits of the Dow Jones Industrial Average at the time of closing on that day. (For example, if the Dow Jones ends at $24,567.09,the numbers in the bold italic are the winners).
Posters can place a bet on one, or all of these options. There is no limitation on the amount of bets a poster can place, other than their own finances. For ease of collection and payment we ask that all bets for the day be made in a single post.
The minimum betting amount is $1,000. The payouts are as follows:
3 digit bets pay out $500 for every dollar bet (a $1000 bet would win $500,000)
4 digit bets pay out $1,000 for every dollar bet (a $1000 bet would win $1,000,000)
5 Digit bets pay out $5,000 for every dollar bet (a $1000 dollar bet would win $5,000,000).
All bets must be submitted in this thread by 3:30pm Eastern Time. There will be a pause in betting between 3:30pm and the announcing of the winning numbers. All bets made after this announcement will go towards the next day, or the following Monday if made during the weekend.
A bet looks like:
