There was much skepticism about my lottery story in the last open thread. Readers should be aware, I sent photographic proof to Mitch Porter by e-mail.
As promised, I made substantial donations to the following two causes:
Well, I’ve opted to focus the bulk of my philanthropy on the ‘Methuselah Foundation’. I joined the 300 and I’ve now pledged $US 25 000. My statement is here:
Well, so it was a good decision to play lottery after all!
(I’m joking)
But anyway, congratulations for the success and thanks for the contributions! I personally am going to donate huge amounts of money on similar causes if I get rich. It seems to be the most rational way (according to my goals) to spend them.

I’m shortly going to be flying out to the EU to work on life extension causes, see my my blog for information: 27 European Union nations in 27 weeks
I see ‘M J GEDDES’ listed. Well done!
Out of curiosity, how much did you donate? (If it was >$500, I forgive you all the crap on OB and SL4; actions are more important than words.)

Powerful new forces are in play as the board game for Singularity takes a dramatic turn!
Received ’85.00′?
The ’300′ pledge is for $25000 over a span of 10 years.
That’s still $2500 for the first installment, not $85.

Well, so it was a good decision to play lottery after all!
