Lucky Lisa gave someone a Pick 4 to play, and it hit.

They hounded her to know how she did it, and they wanted a guarantee , because they wanted to take her gift and turn it ointo their own prediction service.

She told them no possible way any of that would happen, because it would spoil it all for her and them.

The person wouldn't leave Lucky Lisa alone, so she hired...........

Redsquash,

Not bad, but an obvious twist on an old fable. The genie keeps giving the adversary double, so for his third wish the guy who found the lamp, knowing the other guy gets doulbe, tells the genie he wants him to put one of his eyes out.

The genie said that Lucky Lisa could help other people pick numbers or tell them when to play quick picks, and many of them would win something. But she could nevert tell them how she could do this, or why, if she did, her winnings would disappear.......

Can I add something, to make it funnier and interesting..........

whatever prize you win - your WORST WORST enemy (who you hate more than you love yourself) would also win double of that prize

Let's turn this into an LP Fable and see what happens.

Take turns ading a few sentences or a paragraph at a time.

Once upon a time, a member of LP, Lucky Lisa, went to a flea market and found a lamp with a genie in it......When they got home, they rubbed the lamp and the genie told them they'd hit a lottery jackpot, but after that could never play again or have anyone play for them.

Redsquash,

A little 'poetic license' here. Since the scenario involves a genie, let's just say the smiling picture, etc. is taken care of .

The closest you can come to explaining anything is saying that you were given a gift, but a curse went along with it. The gist if picking numbers, the curse is that if you tell anyone how you got the gift, you lose all your winnings, will never hit again, and you'll lose the ability to help others choosing numbers

How's that possible in today's media world? The smiling picture with the big check will be all-over (unless its DE or alike). And what would you tell to Uncle Sam in your tax retur... [ More ]

You can't reveal anything to anyone, not in person, via the internet, no way at all.

If this was one of the requirements, then I would not make the cut. There is no way that I would be able to keep a big win like that from my mother and sisters. I could keep it a secret from everyone else, but them...nope.

Nope, you can't do that.

From the OP:

One is you can never play again. You can't have others play for you,either (the genie will know). You can't reveal anything to anyone, notin person, via the internet, no way at all.

If I win the jackpot, I'll just ask someone else to play my numbers. LOL After I win millions, I won't care about the money, but I would still want to see my numbers finally come up!

Ps: I can keep a secret.

A genie helps you win a jackpot, a decent jackpot, let's say $50,000,000. If you use your head you'll be set for life.

But the genie gave you a couple of conditions. If you violate them, you'll lose it all.

One is you can never play again. You can't have others play for you, either (the genie will know).You can't reveal anything to anyone, not in person, via the internet, no way at all.

Another condition is the closest you can get to lotto is help other people pick numbers, occassionall... [ More ]
