5K Lottery

[Dravic]

Wow, guys, thanks for such a feedback!

I have some hard time updating the cumulation! Nice work! 

EDIT

Already almost 40.000 gold in the cumulation!

It's allowed, but only if you don't mind only 1 of your tickets being considered during draw.

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.

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.

Also if you wonder how you should let someone have bigger chances of having their number get picked when you pick a random number, just give people one number for each ticket. For instance give me 4 numbers since I payed for 4 tickets.

If you really don`t want people to be able to buy more tickets then I would like to have my money back.

Rules and info:

1. For each lottery, you can buy only one ticket per edition. I've considered as many tickets as you want, but that would do two things: it would effectively decrease the income from win for people who bought more than half of current week's edition and make it really unfair for people who buy only one ticket.

Please read the rules before going crazy, it says it clearly that you can only get one ticket per draw...

[Dravic]

It's not that bad to me, but the fact is - bigger chance for winning is unfair to people who buy only one ticket.

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.

Yeah, I think it is a dumb rule and that is why I want to know why.

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.

Anyways, putting some stones up for 15k.

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?



PS Apsod, made a poll.

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'

Thanks for making a poll

Oh and I have to agree with Thovex, it would be very annoying for the winner if he picks the wrong box.

You could make it so that the winner could pick between getting his cash or something else, tho I think just giving him the cash would be the best. If the system becomes to advanced some people just wont bother with it at all.

Edit: Oh and with that system most people would only buy tickets if the previous winner picked the wrong box. The winner would also only get 75% of his cash in the long run.

Another thing, I don`t mind you taking rake for yourself, but don`t make the rake high because you want to save up for a huge lottery later on because if someone who was in the eariler lotteries were not in that one then he would have payed money to a lottery he is not even a part of, and the people from the earlier who were to join that one would have payed more than just some random guy who came and joined.

Wanna exchange?
You wanna know my answer?
Are you sure?

OK.
What - what is the answer. Answer to what?
The question?
OK.
The answer is: NO!

[Polobow]

Should I allow buying more than one ticket by same person?

Yes, but limited.

Added that option.

nice idea to make money more exciting!

What happens if infinite gets 5 and limited 5 but no 7? Just wondering

Edit: My personal favourtie is limited, it would save you a lot of work if someone suddenly wants to pay for like 50 tickets. It would also be more of a compromise considering some wants it to be disallowed and some wants it to be allowed.
