"Ohana Lottery"
The "Ohana Lottery" is a program developed to benefit both the state government of Hawaii and the people of Hawaii. This is not another "Power-Ball" type of frenzy, instead it is designed after the Hawaiian culture, simple, friendly, and helpful.
There are three things that make our "Ohana Lottery" unlike any other lotto in the world. First, you must be a resident of Hawaii. This program will not depend on one single tourist dollar. Besides, if only Hawaii people can play only Hawaii people can win! Second, you must show that you have a source of income. In other words paychecks, retirement checks, even dividend checks are all good, welfare checks are not considered sources of income. Third, each of us can only contribute $50.00 a month. In every form of gambling the opposition is always concerned about the negative effects it has on society. By limiting everyone to $50.00 a month, this will eliminate the possibility of someone getting into financial problems. Also, by setting a maximum, this gives all of us the exact same odds of winning!
The state of Hawaii has approximately 600,000 people in its workforce. Therefore if 50% or 300,000 people participated in this program and each of us contributed $50.00, we would have created $15,000,000.00 in one month. Now just imagine for a minute if everyone participated even our 200,000 retirees, we could create $40,000,000.00 a month that's $480,000,000.00 annually!
With this much "New Revenue" we can now start addressing our more serious problems, such as education, crime, employment, affordable housing, affordable long-term care, a economy that benefits all of the people, and of course let's not forget taxes!!!
Now, that we've help the state create this "New Revenue" that will be used to fund a variety of solutions to fix the many problems our Hawaii faces today. Earlier I said that this program would benefit both the state government of Hawaii and the people of Hawaii. Remember I also said that the "Ohana Lottery" is not designed to make one person a multi-millionaire, rather it is designed to help a multiple number of hard working families throughout the state of Hawaii. It is my intention to help as much people as possible, therefore for every $5,000,000.00 of revenue the state makes I would call.......................
1-$1,000,000.00(payable $100,000.00 for ten years).
1-$50,000.00 cash.
2-$25,000.00 cash.
6-$10,000.00 cash.
We were hoping that everyone would play creating $40,000,000.00 sooooo........I would call
8-$1,000,000.00(payable $100,000.00 for ten years).
8-$50,000.00 cash.
16-$25,000.00 cash.
48-$10,000.00 cash.
WOW!!!
We've just helped 80 families by giving a little something back, so they can cope with the high cost of living in "Paradise". In one year we can help over a 1,000 families. Infact, I guarantee that someone in your "Ohana" will be called. This could be your blood ohana, work ohana, bobby-sox ohana, soccer/little league ohana, even your church ohana.....you get the idea. That's how I got the name "Ohana Lottery". Here's something to ponder, within the first year of this program I call the "Ohana Lottery" the state will have eclipsed all other forms of prize winnings from all of the sources combined in the history of Hawaii. This includes all television, all radio, all fast-food promotions, and yes all "Bingos".
Aloha and Mahalo
