In September of 2011 I bought 4 brand new "Shots, Moves , & Strategies" books directly from Eddie Robin. I still have three left after sending one to "Fanatic". Eddie wrapped these books as if they were his children and they needed protection. I'd like to propose an idea and a contest that I've been considering for quite a while.
I'm thinking of asking for $5 donations to onepocket.org for each number purchased and using the MegaMillions Gold Ball number as the decider for the winner. There are 46 numbers for the Gold Ball, according to the website. That means the field will be limited to 46 bids @ $5 apiece. I think that after the 46th bid is received we can use the second MegaMillions drawing after that date to decide the winner of the S,M, & S book. Whatever (Gold Ball) number comes up in that drawing will be the number that wins the brand new book.
If anyone has a problem with my thinking, please do mention it to me. I may be mis-thinking something. If anyone has a better idea, please do inform us of it.
Again, I want no monies from anyone. All $5 bids must be sent to Steve Booth at onepocket.org.. He can then use the money for running the site or the HOF dinner or anything else he deems necessary for running this great site.
If this works out well I will then do the same for a "Winning One Pocket" book. The WOP will be "used" as there are no new ones that I know of. The price will be higher for the WOP as it is rarer. I'm thinking maybe $10 per bid for the WOP.
Please do let me know your thoughts.
P.S. If we get close to 46 bids without actually achieving 46 bids, I will buy the rest and have a chance of winning my own book. Don't let that happen. If anyone sees a potential problem with my idea please inform me of your thoughts. I think I've thought it through but you never know.

To be clear; you must send the money to Steve Booth. I don't know the methods available but I'm sure Steve will tell us.
After you send the money, pick your number from 1 to 46. You cannot pick a number that someone else has already picked.
