Borrow or Buying wining chance(make a real lottery)

I always like creative thinking! There are a couple of issues though I see here:

  1. One is that lotteries are heavily regulated. So as @TheRealTuna pointed out, if PoolTogether enabled lotteries, that would be much more complicated for interfaces that want to integrate with the protocol.

  2. The second is, I’d argue developing the protocol in a way that can result in loss of money… and doesn’t just help people save money goes against the core principles of the community. We haven’t officially formalized this but @mkkoll did a great job starting to articulate this here.

  3. Finally, just from a more practical perspective, there are a lot of lotteries / other forms of gambling available in crypto. There are few prize savings protocols. So I think it’s a more differentiated position.

With all that said, I LOVE any ideas on how to make the protocol more engaging and useful and I think there is lots we can do there while keeping it NO LOSS.
