  I've gotten this question through private messages a few times, so I'll go ahead and post this so that everyone can see how to do it.

  Any member can give another member a membership gift anytime they want.

  How to give another member a membership gift:

  First, send me (Todd) a private message telling me that you're buying a membership for someone.  Let me know the Username (exact spelling!) and the exact type of membership you're buying (for example, 6 months Platinum).  Then, go ahead and make the purchase, as if you're buying it for yourself.

  Once I see the payment is made, I'll upgrade the person you specified in your PM, and I'll send them a brief note letting them know who gave them the gift.

  Thanks for supporting Lottery Post!

  Yes, all everything Todd says is true, I was surprised with my membership from a friend, she is such a darling and sweet person for thinking of me...I hope some day to be able to return the favor back to her so she can pass it on..... I am so grateful and i enjoy it every day...She is my guardian angel and always will be....    Jani Norman

  Todd, just a question. How can a gold member upgrade to Platinum when you still have time on your gold membership?

  Thanks!

  Jani you and I share the same sentiment of surprise.  I too was gifted by a very generous member of the LP family and I feel very honored and grateful.

  You can just purchase whatever length Platinum membership you like.  If you upgrade to Platinum and I see that you have time remaining on a Gold membership, I convert the remaining Gold days to their equivalent Platinum days, so you don't lose any value.

  Basically, you just make the purchase, and I'll take care of the rest.

  Thank you to the person that bought the Platinum membership for me.  I cried when I found out that someone did this for me.   Very much appreciated. God bless you, and everyone.!

  I too had my standard membership upgraded earlier this month by a gift from a LP member.  I was surprised since I had never corresponded with this member and checked with Todd to make sure a mistake hadn't been made.  The gift was most appreciated.

   * you don't need to buy every combination, just the winning ones *
