Pocket Lottery (Sunday 8th August Draw)
The Pocket Lottery draw has been moved forward due to 1.3 now being available.
I have remade the thread to clear the clutter, all current entries are repeated below.
This is a non profit lottery, all of the takings will be allocated as prize money.
You pick 3 numbers from 1-15, you cannot pick 2 or more of the same number, they all have to be different.
Each set of numbers costs 1000 gold to enter into the prize draw.
On draw day, I will generate 4 numbers from 1-15 using the ingame /roll command for people to watch, 3 main numbers and 1 bonus number, again 2 or more cannot be the same, so rolls will continue until 4 unique numbers come up.
Odds and prizes are as follows:-
3 matching numbers
Full jackpot (455:1)
2 matches + bonus number
20k (152:1)
2 matches
5k (14:1)
1 match + bonus number
2k (14:1)
While odds may seem high, they are based on a single entry, the more you buy, the more chance you have. Depending on how successful the lottery is I will tweak the rules (and therefore the odds) to give reasonable chances. I anticipate that around 30 people may play, hopefully buying a total of 200-300 entries, meaning the jackpot will usually roll over, allowing for some substantial wins.
A portion of the takings will be set aside for non jackpot wins, the jackpot will therefore never be equal to the takings.
Always check your numbers to see if you have won, I will be using the thread search facility to find matching numbers to allocate prizes, but I have not tested the feasibility of this in large threads with multiple matches.
The lottery will be run by a character specifically made for it (PocketLottery), anyone wishing to play/purchase should add him, tickets must be placed via this thread and not ingame, gold for tickets is to be paid to PocketLottery ingame.
Below are ticket instructions, please follow them closely.
Your ingame name.
Numbers - must be written as 2 digits, without spaces to show up in the thread search. If your numbers don't show up in the thread search I have to find winners manually. Your number list must be 'Number Bulleted', do this by clicking on 'Go Advanced' in post controls (bottom right) and selecting numbered bullet points from the options below font type.
