An entry in a DB doesnt cost a dime more than what it costs for the db hosting.  There have been 233 lottery weeks,  of that,  maybe 1 or 2 people have come forward to say they won something of significance in the lottery.  Thats pretty good proof right there in itself that most of the "winners" are just that,  completely fake.    Besides,  I find the lottery to be a complete waste anyway.  It's totally pointless.  It would just be better if it went away completely and was replaced by more referral percentage.  At least that would motivate more people to promote the site more than they would from something they never win anyway.
