UNLF

A resolution to legalize or outlaw gambling.

Category: Gambling
Legalize/Outlaw: Legalize
Proposed by: Anward

Description: UNLF- United Nations Lottery Fund

At current, UN resolutions that have passed are exceeding the UN budget. Instead of having a tax in which UN nations pay, I propose a voluntary monetary fund, a lottery. The lottery would work like this:


-It would take place on every night at 11:00 PM EST.
--In the event that no one wins, the lottery's jackpot would be extended to the next drawing.

-Minimum age of player to be set by local gambling laws.

-The lottery tickets would cost $1.
--$2 to double (non-jackpot) winnings.

-10% of money received would be deposited into a fund, in which the UN would use that to pay for the funding of all the passed proposals.
--An additional 5% of the money received would be set aside for for the next lottery.
---1% of of the money received to go to funding a program to treat addicted gamblers.

-Upon winning, the winner would receive $250,000 a month, in their native currency, until the jackpot has been paid in full.
