    Could use the lottery to draw all of us mate. Then I know you won't give me someone like England...

    There is now only TWO places left, strictly Gills fans only now please.

    MikeGills32 - I agree - the competition does not start until June, so I may use the lottery to decide who gets what team. I just need to put something together that will work. I believe this way everyone will be able to see that the draw was done fairly.

    Currently I have used numbers between 1-41 the post numbers for 30 sweepstakes. The lottery goes up to number 49. So i will need to reserve two posts of the next six for the remaining two entries, to take us to 32. I will delete posts between now and post 49 if I need to reserve space.

    Has HOADIE seen this?
    I would have thought that he would be in for something like this.
    In fact, I've not seen him around for a while. Does he still post on here?

    I'll draw the sweepstake over the coming weeks as follows;

    As from now, I will use the normally twice weekly lotto draw, however, i will draw them on the final ascending order using the seven lotto numbers including the bonus ball (not the order they were drawn) to select the member numbers. To be placed in sequence against the participant countries.

    So for example if the first of the six balls in ascending order for a lotto draw is number 2 - brb will be placed against Russia.
    If the next ball in ascending order is 13, then GeminiSwiftgfc would be placed against Japan.
    If the next ball is number 23, no member has this number and it will therefore be completely ignored.
    Note the bonus ball will always be used as the final number outside of the ascending order for any subsequent draw.
    Once a number is drawn it is naturally ignored in future draws, until all members numbers have been placed against a country. Hopefully before June!
    As we currently have one sweepstake place unallocated, I have automatically selected Iran the final country on the list to remain unallocated. Unless the final place is filled before completion of the draw.
    Complicated yes, but as always I will work it all out and post the drawn numbers as after each draw.

    I was going to suggest that you allocate the final number to Steve Evans - but would he be glad it's Iran and nothing to do with Scotland ?

    Yes. I will allocate you the final place and number 49 rather than delete posts to make it fit. Hence this now means Iran will be re-included in the draw.

    Draw date Sat 19 Apr 14

    13 20 31 34 36 44 Bonus 11

    13 - GeminiSwiftgfc = Russia

    20 - Minxy = Japan

    31 - unallocated

    34 - unallocated

    36 - unallocated

    44 - gioblues = France

    Bonus 11 - liamgfc = Cameroon

    This could be a long draw lol - obviously if we get too close to the 13th June, I can always include another aspect (ie Euros) before eventually manually drawing any remaining numbers but we will keep with this for now as it seems the fairest and most transparent way.
