Adding RULES/PENALTIES: +&#163;6

Draw 11 prize money will be: &#163;44.

The 8 character combination has now been set.

The combination is made up of SEVEN digits - 1 through to 0, and ONE letter - A, B, C, D or E.
DIGITS in the combination can occur more than once in the combination sequence.
The LETTER can appear in ANY position in the combination sequence.

The person whose Thunderball is drawn on Saturday evening must post their 8 character choice of combination on this thread by NO LATER than midnight Tuesday 10th October.
Failure to do so will result in the Safe contents being reduced by &#163;10 (UNLESS you inform the other players (by posting here) in advance of the draw, that you will be unable to meet the deadline.

If your name is highlighted in the above list and your Thunderball is drawn, AND your chosen combination opens the safe, a 50% bonus will be added to the eSafe contents.

A different person will be chosen at random & highlighted in the Thunderball Owners List posted before each draw.
People may be highlighted more than once throughout the game but NOT in consecutive draws.

If the chosen combination fails to open the Safe, then the drawn Thunderball becomes available for new ownership.

The new owner will be determined by the first person correctly answering a question that I will post on the eSafe Game 3 QUESTIONS thread at some time AFTER Draw 11 but BEFORE midnight Tuesday.

Saturday's drawn Thunderball will determine whether the Safe's contents go up or down for Wednesday's Draw 12.
See 'Game 3 RULES' thread for details.

Good Luck to you all

Hmm, BigC's not been around for a couple of days it seems so I doubt he has seen this.

Not that it matters too much this once if he hasn't as Ada can fine us the &#163;10 but that doesn't affect the contents of the safe as it can't drop below the tenner it is currently at.

I appreciate Sparky works shifts, but he has been posting since Wednesday's Thunderball Draw, but has maybe unfortunately failed to spot that he is due to post his choice of combination, so I'm afraid the penalty rule will apply if no post is made by midnight.....sorry.

Mat,

As the combination looks pretty close to being cracked........

If you are going to be away for the next few draws, I think the fairest chance I can offer you (or anyone else who knows they will not be able to post by the required deadlines)....... is for you to PM or Email me your chosen combination(s) along with the draw date(s) that you wish them to be submitted.

If your chosen combination on your nominated draw date should open the eSafe, then I will make this known to the other players, and will wait until you return from your hols, before we play the final stage of the game.

If your TBall is drawn but no combination has been submitted, then the player holding the next Thunderball in the list will be given the chance to post their own choice to win the safe contents.

(Read my reply to your original question again, as I may have edited it since you first read it).

If they post the correct combination, are you going to let them play the final stage on your behalf as well, or do you want me to hold fire until you return?

Your combination 08139D37 has successfully opened the safe.

Well done...

Welcome to the eSafe Hall of Fame along with Silax & Iron Chris.

You are taking &#163;44, the contents of the safe, into the final stage of the game.

Your final prize money will be decided by the Thunderball draw this Saturday 14th October.

I will post the details shortly.

Ada.

Fadetoblack/Mathare,

Throughout the game so far, the Thunderball has dictated who got to have a shot at opening the eSafe and also the prize amount to be carried forward into this final stage of the game…. so guess what……
Saturday’s drawn Thunderball will determine the final prize money amount you will actually walk away with.

Final Stage Rules

1. You must choose 8 of the 14 Thunderballs as yours for Saturday’s draw.

The remaining 6 will become mine.
Of these 6 I will split them into two groups of 3.

Prize Allocation

If Saturday’s drawn Thunderball is:

One of your chosen 8 then you will win 100% of the final prize amount.
One of my first group of 3 then you will win 50% of the final prize amount.
One of my second group of 3 then you lose and will win nothing.

2. You NOW have to choose 1 of the following options:


A.
Depending on Saturday’s drawn Thunderball:
You will either win the full amount of the eSafe contents: &#163;44;
50% of the full amount &#163;22....or....
Absolutely nothing.

B.
Alternatively, I will exchange the eSafe contents of &#163;44 for 44 Thunderball tickets for Saturday’s draw.
Depending on the drawn Thunderball:
You will either win 100% of the value of the winning lines;
50% of the value of the winning lines....or...
Absolutely nothing.

The 44 Thunderball tickets I buy can either be chosen by yourself, or bought as Lucky Dips…..it’s up to you.
If you choose your own numbers I will require you to post them on this thread ASAP in order to give me reasonable time to buy them in readiness for Saturday’s draw.

So in theory you could be exchanging the eSafe’s &#163;44 for anything between &#163;0 & &#163;250,000!!

C.
Your third choice is a mixture of the above.
You can split the &#163;44 into two amounts, one share to be held back & the other to be exchanged for Thunderball tickets.
The size of each share is up to you, but the smallest share MUST NOT be less than &#163;10, and both shares MUST add up to the full &#163;44.
NOTE: The drawn Thunderball rule will apply to BOTH the share amount held back & the value of any Thunderball winning lines.

D.
The final prize amount (determined after Saturday's Thunderball draw) can be donated to a charity of your choice.

So Fadetoblack/Mathare, there you have it…
Please reply to this post with your 8 chosen Thunderballs & your preferred option A, B, C or D.
I will respond accordingly.

What do the rest of you think they should do?

Ada.

Wow...if only there was some way of getting in touch with Matt. I'm leaning towards the lotto tickets at the mo..but we'll see what everyone else thinks.

Well done Fade... :clp ... if Mat didn't leave instructions as to what you should do next he obviously wasn't that confident of the outcome...:laugh

I would suggest Option B and then Mat can decide after that...:wink

I might be able to get in touch with Mat later Fade!

Although whether he'll quite want to be disturbed by me while on holiday is another matter! :ooo

Fadetoblack/Mathare,

I'm going to need your choice of 8 Thunderballs & which option to go for, A, B, C or D by midnight Friday please.
This will give me the time to buy & post the Thunderball tickets in readiness for Saturday evening's draw, (should you choose option B, that is).

Cheers

Ada.

Option C looks the 'easy' one - a 50-50 split which (as long as the 'absolutley nothing' scenario doesn't happen) will at least guarantee a small return with potential for a very nice win.

Mat says he thought you were going to do that bit for him as well!!

He says can he have numbers

1 2 3 6 8 9 10 11

And option C, with &#163;20 in cash and the rest as Thunderball tickets!

:)

Fadetoblack
13th October 2006, 19:31
Well I was....I was just looking for his opinion.....

Ok so...

vegyjones
13th October 2006, 19:36
What numbers woould YOU have chosen Fade?

Just so we can see who would have been more successful!
(And be honest, don't just include all the numbers Mat didn't pick :D )

With Vegy's confirmation.....

Mathare has chosen Option C...

I will be putting &#163;20 aside & exchanging the remaining eSafe contents of &#163;24 for 24 Thunderball tickets for the Saturday 14th October draw.

I will post the 24 TBALL Lucky Dip ticket numbers on this thread Saturday afternoon in time for the evening's draw.

OPTION C RULES:


C.
Your third choice is a mixture of the above.
You can split the &#163;44 into two amounts, one share to be held back & the other to be exchanged for Thunderball tickets.
The size of each share is up to you, but the smallest share MUST NOT be less than &#163;10, and both shares MUST add up to the full &#163;44.
NOTE: The drawn Thunderball rule will apply to BOTH the share amount held back & the value of any Thunderball winning lines.

Ada.

Mathare,

Of the &#163;44 eSafe contents...at your request....
&#163;20 has been kept back.
&#163;24 has been exchanged for 24 Thunderball tickets.

Here are the 24 Lucky Dip tickets/lines I have bought at your request for Saturday's Thunderball (14th October) draw.
I have put them in Thunderball order.

13 16 17 28 34 01
07 17 20 25 33 03 ***
08 17 19 26 34 03
12 17 25 27 29 03
01 06 18 25 29 04
09 19 26 27 33 04
02 03 15 21 32 05
07 12 15 17 29 05
11 16 24 30 34 05
22 24 30 33 34 05
08 18 21 27 32 06
05 12 17 20 32 07
04 11 15 21 31 10
09 10 16 28 34 10
01 02 03 18 19 11
05 14 17 21 25 11
06 17 18 21 29 12
07 08 12 14 24 12
07 13 21 22 32 12
08 11 15 19 24 12
03 10 17 26 32 13
10 12 19 21 24 13
02 07 11 15 32 14
09 10 23 27 32 14

So...depending on which Thunderball is drawn will determine how much your final prize amount will be...

1 2 3 6 8 9 10 11 - You will win 100% of the value of the winning lines above AND the &#163;20 you held back.
5 12 14 - You will win 50% of the value of the winning lines above AND &#163;10 out of the money you held back.
4 7 13 - You lose everything and win nothing.

For your information:

Running the above numbers through the last 5 Thunderball draws, they would have won:

27/09/06: &#163;10
30/09/06: &#163;20
04/10/06: &#163;5
07/10/06: &#163;15
11/10/06: &#163;30

But how much will they win on Saturday 14th October?

Wishing you the best of luck Mat...

Ada.

SATURDAY 14th OCTOBER THUNDERBALL RESULT

1 7 15 20 25 TB=9

So, Mathare...
As Thunderball 9 was drawn you win 100% of whatever the winning lines of the 24 tickets are worth + the &#163;20 you held back.

But how much are they worth?

There is just 1 winning line:

07 17 20 25 33 03: &#163;10

You have therefore won: &#163;10 + the &#163;20 you held back, giving a total prize amount of &#163;30.

Mat, when you return from your hols...
