I know it's very early to be thinking about Christmas, but wanted to post this early to give people plenty chance to join! (and time to post now).

The quick overview is that you pick numbers for the 7 EuroMillions lottery draws in December before Christmas. If your numbers do the best in those you get a bucket of mess as reward!

To enter the game you need to select five main numbers between 1 & 50 and two between 1 & 12, for the "lucky stars". These are numbers for the Euromillions lottery draws that take place in December before Christmas, ending with the draw on Tuesday 24th December. The draws that place every Tuesday and Friday. (Official rules https://www.euro-millions.com/rules).

You score points as follows:
- 1 point for each main number drawn.
- 2 points for lucky star (bonus ball).
- 1 point for every £ the numbers would have won if entered in the real lottery draws. (most wins are between £2-10).
- Points for the final draw before Christmas on Tuesday 24th December are doubled.

The loser is the person who gets the most points rather than the least! (In the event of tie I'll decide the loser!)

Rules to Enter:

1. Post your numbers before the drawn on Tuesday 3rd December & if you agree to risk the extra lucky star forfeits.
2. You agree to post pictures if you lose and complete the forfeit(s) if you lose.
3. To enter you must have photos of yourself on your profile or can confidence me you will do the forfeit if lose.

With previous attempts at similar group games, such as the World Cup & Euro football sweepstakes, I've been disappointed that few people appear to complete there forfeits. If you have a history of not completing your dares/forfeits from group games here you can't enter. However as I believe in second chances, I'll pick one of the forfeits you've been avoiding and you can complete that to gain entry.

______________________________________

The rest of this post gives details not essential to enter! You can stop reading if you don't like long posts or care about the fine details of this game!

Everyday in December before Christmas a messy item will be selected, a bit like opening a splosh advent calendar! The loser of the game must fill a bucket with the 24 cans/jars selected, then dressed in outfit appropriate for Christmas dinner, tip contents of this over their head.

The items selected will be based on suggestions posted in this thread each day in December. Everyone who enters can make a daily suggestion. If there's pour than 1 suggestion the most popular item is chosen and an event of a tie it's the first suggestion made

Be warned, there's no way of knowing what will end up in the bucket! It could end being rather gross! However if enough people enter the chances of losing will be slim. Also if less than 10 people enter I won't run the event, so there be a least a 90% chance you'll get to stay clean and just enjoy the risk of entering!

Optional extra lucky star entry:

Each week, in addition to the five main balls (1 to 50), two lucky star balls between 1 & 12 are drawn. If you select one if these its a pie to the face. It must be a proper pie, shaving foam doesn't count! If you select both in the same week its a pie sandwich and a bucket of gunge over your head. This "competition" runs for each draw, so you're at risk 7 times!


Finally my entry is:

Main five numbers: 1, 6, 25, 44 & 50.
Two lucky stars: 4 & 6.
Extra Lucky Star game: Yes, can't really say no can I!

I'm in for this.

1,10,15,24,36,43 - 2,4

Thanks for entering! It's just 5 main number though! Please let me which 5, if you care, else I'll select for you. If anyone makes an error I'll chose the numbers for you so you don't miss out.

I'm planning on posting in the main forum mid-November to give more people a chance to enter. It feels too early now!

I'm also going to tidy up & simplify the initial thread later in response to feedback.

OK, I'm: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 -- 5, 10
(Easy to remember)
And for sure, count me in for the Lucky Star risk!!

Games where you don't know in advance what the forfeit will be for losing are the most exciting

There's still a couple of days left to join in before the first draw this Tuesday.

My suggestion for the first item for December 1st is a can of baked beans.

Curious to see how "most popular item" works. So I suggest Chocolate Cake Batter.

Maybe do 1 big poll through 12/24, and take the 24 items with the most votes.

I'll go in for this
Main five numbers: 5, 7, 11, 17, 38.
Two lucky stars: 3 & 10.
Extra Lucky Star game: Yes

Which ever item gets suggested the most wins. If tied like today, it's the first item suggested (Baked Beans).

As we are all in different time zones, I'll use London (UK) time to work out the day. Any items suggested, but not selected will be back ups for any days where there are no new suggestions. So Chocolate Cake Batter is the first reserve, followed by Chocolate Sauce. Once we are a few draws in, I expect to those in danger of losing proposing nice items, while those who feel safe upping the anti with grosser savoury items!

I'm going to be travelling without internet access for the next few days, but will be back with the points for Tuesday's first draw before the next one on Friday 6th.

OK then, Chocolate Cake Batter for Dec 2

I'm in.

Main numbers: 7 - 10 - 21 - 32 - 49

Lucky stars: 1 - 7


I'm in for the additional lucky star game
