I think Bowex ran an inRP lottery a long time ago. I recall it worked out pretty well. And... Yup. Just trawled through the Bowex archives and found our graphics for it.

There was even a ticket designed for it. Go for it - people have done it before, and it's worked. Making some money out of it isn't an issue.

If your attempt plays out okay, we may try again too in the future.

Lotteries have even been used by governments to raise funds for projects. As long as the prize pool is attractive enough - then a lottery is a license to print money for yourself!

Em. Whatever.

I mean in current times. As I am working on IC stuff, lottery was in mind, just not yet reached the moment where such idea should be discussed within IC|

Alright so I've decided that this is the system I will use:

1. Tickets will cost 5,000,000 sc each
   
2. You many only purchase five (5) tickets per forum account
   
3. You must provide a screenshot of the transfer to ILC|Vault
   
4. You must also note the character name where I can transfer your winnings, should you win
   
5. You select a series of five one digit numbers for each ticket:
   

   Example: 12343, 67231, 03448

6. This will be a monthly lottery
   
7. I will use /dice 9 five times to draw the winning numbers. Depending on the number of winning numbers your ticket(s) contain you win a percentage of the pot following this tier system.
   

   Tier 1: 5 of 5 - 82% of the pot
   Tier 2: 4 of 5 - 12% of the pot
   Tier 3: 3 of 5 - 6% of the pot

8. Multiple winners per tier split their tier's pot
   
9. If there is no winner for a tier that tier's percentage rolls over to the next month's pot.
   
10. If you get all five winning numbers in the order they were drawn you win 100% of the pot.
    
11. Each month's lottery will have its own thread for organizational purposes. This is where you will post your screens showing fund transfer, character name for winnings, ticket number selection, and where I will announce the winning numbers.
    
12. The drawing will occur in the first week of the following month.
    
13. The ILC will retain 300,000 sc from each ticket purchase

Yes, I used your lottery as a reference and modified it slightly. I may or may not make this an inRP lottery, haven't decided yet.

If you care to tell me, why did you stop yours? Lack of interest or lack of ability to run it?
