Regarding my own donation, I have indicated that if it can't be spent  on Mr 
O'Rights then I want it applied to Marce Johnson. That would not be  possible 
if it were gambled and lost.
I think she is also short of the needed amount, though she has more than he  
does. Perhaps the amounts combined are enough for one person. Then maybe  the 
amounts should be combined and lots drawn to see which one gets it. If she  

has, say, twice what he does then she'd deserve twice the chance, so she'd  get
two chips and he'd get one, to be drawn from a jar.
 
In this way the money would stay in the cryonics community, as opposed to  

being lost to some casino. And if there were money left over, it could go to the
 loser's representative, who would bet it (probably on a long-shot bet paying 
 6-to-1 or whatever was needed) at a casino.
 
As is, it looks like neither one will be preserved and someone will have to  
decide what to do with the money.
 
I do agree that the contributors would have to agree to the plan.
