A suggestion regarding lottery
« on: June 14, 2012, 11:02:18 pm »

The current situation is that you can buy shitload of tickets and win multiple times per week. There was a dude who won 3 times this week and many other won 2 times. That's kinda unfair.

My suggestion is:

Only one win would be possible for each person per week even if you buy 500 tickets.

Thoughts?
I was the first one who started -1-ing everyone, now everyone does it to everyone.

You know, I bought 500 tickets and didn't win anything, of course I am mad that some people won multiple times. If many people didn't win multiple times I could have won at least once. Now I am poor. Others became rich. The whole dividing of the prize was a shit idea, especially on the last day.

Bad luck, dont blame the system. Or if you are so eager to win, spend more $$$.
Paprika: ...the Internet and dreams are similar. They're areas where the repressed conscious mind escapes.

:rolleyes: Where did you get the idea that lottery should be fair? It is not. That is why it is called lot-tery, from french lot which means fate, luck, etc. Everyone can play it, there is no other factor than luck.

And btw I am no specialst in propability calculation and I don't know how the drawings are made, but I highly doubt that your chance of winning was higher when there was only 1 price.

Buy 10 tickets every week, like I do. If you win, you'll be immensely happy and if you don't, you haven't lost much gold.

Exactly like the old next-door hag buying her weekly lottery tickets.

Get out you f*cking jellyfish. You don't have to participate if you don't want, more gold for us. Btw, there are some people with tons of looms and nobody gives a shit so your argument is invalid.
Do you honestly think you have any sort of moral authority, Reyiz? Go genocide some more armenians and deny it ever happened, please, and stay in the middle east.
