MD, and other participants in this Challenge:
Would you mind if I propose a plan, for just entertainment purpose?
Simply allow me to participate in this Challenge but with a different matrix.
As you are already aware, the current challenge matrix (15+5) is equal to 15,015 combinations. What I would like to do is for me to personally challenge with a different matrix. That is, (10WBs+46MBs). That matrix covers only 11,592 combinations, fewer than the current by 3,423. (For your reference, 10 WBs = 252 baskets of 5-WBs, each basket of which is matched with each and all of 46 MBs: thus, 252 x 46 =11,592 combinations in total)
I am afraid this would bother MD due to the possibly additional works. MD or someone may count just WBs in my entry when counting the results. After all the results counted and posted, I am willing to calculate the equivalent-to-real-tickets winnings, if any, including mine.
As my personal compliment, I want to give away a kind of might-be-small but might-be-huge FREE GIFT: 15 Korean 6/45 Lotto(every Saturday drawings and just a few cents less than $1 each) and 5 MM tickets. I will buy those tickets and post the corresponding before-drawing numbers in MD MM Challenge threads at the end of this year or early next year.
All winnings, if any, out of those tickets would be equally shared among (1)the winner who beat my entry by the biggest margin in terms of cumulative winnings, (2)MD who I believe does so much works in this forum, and (3) ME. This way, the number of sharers would be 3. Small winnings may be used to repurchase tickets in the next drawing(s) as you might expect. And, if the jackpot hopefully can be hit despite its extremely low odds, 25% of my share will go to the victims of Katrina. Only those participants entering tonight's Challenge may qualify for the gift, however.
I just took a loot at the calendar and found there are 8 more MM drawings to go. NO obligations at all and nothing for any participants to lose. All I want is to see what happens.
Finally, I am not sure whether or not my idea violates the rules of this site. In that regard, Todd's decision will prevail. That is, if denied by Todd, my proposal will not be effective.

PS: I wish you understand, because I was in a hurry, my idea might not have been well organized. However, I am pretty sure I can keep my words.
====================================================================
My entry tonight, if not denied, is
10 WBs: 8 10 13 18 23 28 35 47 50 52
(MBs: ALL 46)
Good luck, everyone!
