Introducing Steem Powerball. A simple lottery tied to the official US Powerball drawing.

Instructions/Rules

Cost to enter is 20 Steem tokens (100% goes to the winner). Send 20 Steem to steempowerball and you are entered, simple as that.
Numbers 1 – 26 are assigned in order to user names as the entries come in to the steempowerball wallet.
Once a contest of 26 fills I will display the names associated with the number. There can be multiple seperate contests of 26 entrants.
The official US Powerball number is the winner.
Payout of winning number is the night of the official US Powerball drawing.
If there is a partial fill of a contest it does not run,those entries will carry over to the next Powerball drawing (Wednesday and Saturday evenings).
Multiple entries are ok, but you must send the tokens in separate payments, unless you specify in a wallet comment. Otherwise, any amount over the entry fee will be considered a tip ;-)
The wallet is the official record. In the case the list of user names and their associated Powerball number are listed wrong, or a list was not created in time, or there is a dispute.
Cutoff for any entry is 5 minutes before the official drawing.

I am doing this for fun, a way to gamble and no massively take from the reward pool, however, any up-votes are appreciated. I am also not doing this as a money making gambling venture, I just want to organize something simple that allows Steemians to gamble, corruption free, 100% of entry $ will always go to the winner. If there is no interest in this I will just let die.

How can I trust you to pay out the winnings you may ask? This is created and run by @GregM. I got the idea from cigar powerball sales groups, in which a person who wants to sell cigars offers powerball spots instead, at 1/26th of their sales price. Winner gets the cigars.

I hope this isn't frowned upon by the majority of Steemit community, let me know if you have any issue, or issues this can cause. I feel it could be fun and I want to get more involved than just posting cigar review... I mean I'd throw a couple bucks of Steem from time to time in hopes to win 26x the amount. :)

Good luck!
