<human>: Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?

Basically, my idea is this. A lot of people in the world are employed at a level where they have slightly more than enough money to get by, but not enough to puruse their dreams, buy anything extravagant, go wild with spending etc.  
I thought it would be cool to set up a kind of 'community lottery' project. Collect signups from a thousand people, and every week the members would contribute a dollar into a 'pot'. We then randomly select a participant, and that person is awarded with the thousand dollar pot.  
At only a dollar a week, that's only fifty two dollars a year - probably more than affordable for most people. And with the chance of being gifted a thousand dollars - I feel that's a substantial enough amount of money to make someone's week feel pretty awesome.  
I wanted your guys' help because I realize there are a huge amount of logistical problems with setting something like this up. Ensuring a regular payment schedule from each participant doesn't waiver... finding a reliable way to collect funds in the first place... impartially judging the random selection for each week... all those and a host of others. I think it's a cool idea in and of itself; a way to donate a dollar a week to make another person in the world extremely happy, with a chance to wind up with a thousand dollars for yourself.  
So basically, I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on how to make this work. The complete list of problems as I see it;  
* **Ensuring authenticity of the program (eg. making sure people can guarantee it's not just a way for me to take their money and vanish)**  
* **Ensuring a reliable method of regular payment - making sure that people feel their money is safe and going to the right place**  
* **Setting up an impartial manner in which to judge the winner for each week**  
* **Just in general, ironing out kinks in the system - would be more evident if I had done something like this before...**  

So... what do you guys think? Is this doable? Suggestions?
