Further to my last post, I managed to find this link on the US Treasury website where you can see the US Public debt on any given day down to the last penny.http://www.treasurydirect.gov/NP/BPDLogin?application=npThe penny value seems to be a fairly arbitrary random value which no individual member of SR can influence. I'd suggest we use something like this for the basis of a raffle/lottery. Most importantly you can go back and check it any time so people would know they weren't being fleeced when the results were announced. Virtual lottery tickets on sale soon! :)V.
