a list of winners
Armpit, great banner!
Man, that's just epic signature. Thanks! Did you make it on your own?
I will use it as official 1k Lottery Banner!
When there's higher ticket price edition, I will please you for new banner ;)
PS 2 tickets left
I am proud to announce, that the winner is...
Nah, not gonna say it untill I get his forum nick, cause I don't think many people will recognise the guy when they hear his character nick.
yeh 5k is ok...but we have to talk about that 100k..if you want to throw your money away, throw it at me :P:lol:
Yay, first time I won something! :D I think 5k is okay for the next lottery.
to spice things up
It's allowed, but only if you don't mind only 1 of your tickets being considered during draw.I don`t see why I would not get bigger chances. I mean, it is pretty much the same thing that four different people would buy a ticket. If you allow people to buy more than one ticket than people can decide how much money they want to put into this themselves.
In other words, you are not getting bigger chances for win. Is it ok for you? if not, I can give that money back to you.
Please read the rules before going crazy, it says it clearly that you can only get one ticket per draw...Yeah, I think it is a dumb rule and that is why I want to know why.
It's not that bad to me, but the fact is - bigger chance for winning is unfair to people who buy only one ticket.It is not really unfair, according to your logic then people do not want other people to buy tickets because it would make them have less of a chance of winning. I mean, if 4 tickets are bought and then a guy comes and buys the fifth ticket, then I don`t really think it matters for that guy if those four tickets were bought by one guy or by four guys, because he would still have the same chance of winning. If he won then he would be payed by one guy instead of 4 guys, but he would still get the same amount of gold. I don`t see why it would matter who buys the tickets.
Just imagine, that you buy 50%/more of total amount of tickets bought. That means you get really high chances for winning and get 90% of your money back + 90% of rest tickets too easily compared to other people...
OK, when you put the offer - stones/something cheap for 15k, I will buy it.
Let's start thinking how to make the next edition more awesome.
I've come to an idea that may lead to pretty high cumulations, but first I want to get your feedback:
When the winner gets drawn, I send him a message saying that he is a winner and asking him a question.
The question would be: "You have two boxes to choose: one is white and one is black. Which do you choose? There is something in both."
Those boxes would be imaginary - right before asking, I would randomly assign two prizes to two different "boxes". One box would contain 100% of cumulation, and the other one would contain 50% of cumulation.
If the winner gets 100%, it's same as now. However, if the winner gets 50% of cumulation, the other 50% proceeds to the next edition as starting cumulation.
What do you think?
lol
'hey your a winner'
'yay'
'have a question'
'you picked the wrong one, sucker, you lost 50% of all gold you would have earned'
'fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu will never buy tickets again'

PS Apsod, made a poll.
Talk about an expensive shirt xD
Should I allow buying more than one ticket by same person?
Yes, but limited.
Added that option.What happens if infinite gets 5 and limited 5 but no 7? Just wondering :?
Poll reset.
If there are more Yes (in total) than No, more than one ticket/person makes it into one edition for test. Now if limited gets equal or more than infinite (i will rename it to unlimited), it is the "winner". If less, then we get unlimited.Nice and fair system, I like it :)
For ONE test edition. Then I will decide what's next.
Nice and fair system, I like it :)
Dravic, can you please also do the same thing but for one person?
I want to give you 5 grand for a 1/110 chance of getting 500 grand from you. (cost to buy an heirloom)
#random.org
Yeah, it is actually a pretty good idea. In the long run you would make money on it. I would give it a go myself, but I would not dare to be the one who gives 500k, simply because you can be unlucky. Tho I could do 100k, but with a 1/25 chance.Dravic, can you please also do the same thing but for one person?Am I supposed to fund the other 495 grand (whatever that means)? :lol:

Made my day.
PS OK guys, the cumulation got pretty hot - almost 60.000! I've got to go to sleep, so if you want to ticket and you've read this right now when I post it, get your ticket now, so I can refill the Marketplace with tickets before I fall asleep. :)
EDIT When I actually think about it, Kharn - nice idea. If I had some starting gold, I could make such a lottery. Will think about rules tomorrow.
Edit: Oh and Dravic, could you return 3 of my 4 tickets. Unless of course I actually get 4 tickets. Tho we have to wait for the poll for that. The offer is up. My expensive shirt for that 15k :P
Thats a better idea than the last one.
Drawing takes too long for my nerves!I sense conspiracy :lol:
I am so happy! :D
Only had like 35k left at the moment, so this will come in handy to help me upkeep my shinies :mrgreen:
there you can see how much this funny event can actually help out, so GO GET THEM TICKETS NAO!
Hope so.:O
ToxicKilla, I am still waiting for poll results, might be that we change rules a bit for one test edition.
:O
As long as you don't let the filthy rich stick hundreds of tickets on for guaranteed win. D:
I've got another idea for improvement. Please give me your feedback:
How about making the draw with not only full tickets, but also "blank tickets" - noone gets anything, the cumulation proceeds to the next edition.
That would look like that:
Numbers:
1. Ticket
2. Blank ticket
3. Ticket
4. Blank ticket
etc.
And would also lead to higher cumulations if noone gets lucky. What do you think?
Forgive me if I came off as sounding sarcastic or malicious, I was only curious :)
I like the blank ticket idea, but I don't like the 50% of tickets are blank idea. That would drastically reduce the individual's chance to win. Maybe 1/3 or 1/4 of total tickets are blank?
Mkey guys, i have a suggestion for making drawings as secure as possible :)
-------------------------------------------------------------
When you buy a "ticket", you will automatically get a unique number ( 00-99 ), that is known to you and Dravic:
(click to show/hide)
The last two digits are pretty random :)
* If necessary, i am sure it is possible to control the authenticity of numbers, since all market transactions should be stored on cRPG's "server", if i understand that correctly
-------------------------------------------------------------
A number will be drawn, using one of the national lottery results:
F.ex. UK:
https://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/lotto/results/results.ftl(click to show/hide)
Combination of all digits - perfectly random AND publicly verifiable. New results every 3 days. :)
If the sum is over 100 - use the last 2 digits.
-------------------------------------------------------------
So, todays result would be this:
Uk lotto number: 2 - 19 - 22 - 30 - 33 - 41
Sum of all lotto digits: 2+19+22+30+33+41=147
A winning number using the above result: 47
-------------------------------------------------------------
Now i know it looks like a lengthy and complicated process, but in reality, it only takes 1-2 min. It is the most secure and publicly opened way i could think of :) That is just an idea, but it might lead to a more elegant solution :)
EDIT: If the winning number wasn't on anyones ticket - 1 more ticket can be bought. This way, with 10-20 tickets sold every 3 days - there will be a winner at least every 3 weeks :)
I like this idea but how can we check the transaction numbers again?
And yea, if no number wins, adding the sum to the next edition's pool sounds awesome.
That drawing system is too complicated.
I prefer TS + camera/some fraps-like application MUCH more.
i demand moar lotteries NAO!This. xD
What happened to this? I thought it was going to be organized 2 times per week!
He stole your money noobs and run to Algeria.
I guess I can put it up if he doesn't continue.
I'll look into it then soon.
He did, Cepeshi.
My nickname is Dravic and I approve this Lottery. (http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,29034.msg425233.html#msg425233)
Sorry for being away. Please do expect it won't change anytime soon.
I am really sorry for everyone supporting my 5K Lottery and getting forgotten while I went away... I will try to compensate the moral and psychological loss in the future.
In other words, when I do come back - and it won't happen anything faster than in May, I am afraid.
Also, to your knowledge, there were several reasons of my disappearance, and only one of them was directly bound with cRPG - I were getting kicked every time I played, some connection issues that did not touch only me but many many people from our community. Other reasons will stay secret as they are more private.
I hope you will have fun with Thovex's Lottery!
