Just make a locked game and if anyone joins boot them.
But the whole point of using /roll is that people can witness it. If bmc just wanted to use a random number generator, there would be no need to do it in PL at all.
Edit: Probably simplest just to make it a rule that any numbers contained in a post with an edit time after the draw time is invalid.
royce u can see the last edited time so make anything edited after/during the roll disqualified
edit
didnt see your edit :P
People can't change their numbers because bmc posted them.
Bmc can you please make it like picking numbers 1-1000 or something?
Sorry buddy, that's actually the reason I made this one. It allows multiple winners and chances at smaller prizes.
I'll try to explain it to you after the draw, it should make a little more sense then, or you can always ask your parents how a lottery works, though they might not be happy if you're gambling online; even with fake money.
roll happen yet? also i need to pay u for my entrys

Lucky that I threw in 50k or there would have been no jackpot; however I will always have a buffer of gold to ensure all prize money can be paid, not all of the lotteries will be quite this lucky.
A massive thanks to everyone that took part, I thoroughly enjoyed it and I hope you did too. Ticket sales for next weeks draw begin immediately! :)
