MoC Update: Last Lottery and Joke Competition Results

Day 1,872, 18:14 • Published in Ireland Ireland • by John Gormley


Hello eIreland. This is likely to be a long article, please bear with me 😉


well not quite "millions" but you get the idea...

23 tickets were bought. That means 1,150 IEP and I will double that out of my own cash, i.e. 2300 IEP.
I've made the decision to make the top prize 2000 IEP and 300 as a runner up prize (no one can win both prizes).

The 23 tickets were randomly assigned numbers from 1 to 23 (if you want any info on how they were assigned, PM me).

Number 14 was then chosen as the winning number.
And Number 7 was chosen for the runner up prize.

So that gave the following winners:
2000 IEP: Marinko Margarin
300 IEP: Nogin the nog

Congratulations to them! Thanks to everyone for participating in the Lottery this terms!



I had an idea a couple of days ago to run an impromptu jokes contest. Thanks to all who participated it was a surprising but wonderful success. 10 jokes were posted in total, and I'll give you my top 5:

5: A dyslexic man walks into a bra. - TheBurningMan

4:
Why did Sarah fall off the swing?
She had no arms

Knock knock(who's there)
Not Sarah - TheBurningMan

3: Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off. - Ronan Donovan

2: My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We'll see about that. Mwuhahahaha. - Grainne Ni Mhaille

1: How did the pirate acquire his ship at such a fair price?
It was on sail!!! - Ghoti Frye

The 1 Gold prize is heading its way to Ghoti. Congrats! Thanks to everyone for their funny contributions.

So that's it for this term. I don't really feel I got as much as I wanted done, but considering I was a very reluctant Minister - and thus very disorganized at the start - I don't think I've done too bad. I hope I've somewhat upheld the fine tradition of this Ministry.

Thanks to everyone who helped or contributed in any way. Thanks and bye.
