Lottery

[Demon_Skeith]

GF now has a lottery system in place which is located inside of the store under the quick cash tab.

The lottery works in cycles of 7 days starting at a cash pot of 100,000 shards. Tickets cost 175 each and you pick from 49 different numbers to come up with five winning numbers and you can only buy 50 per week.

It's set up that if no one wins, the jackpot grows and another 7 days start and keeps going till you win. The current end date is April 10th. The higher your usergroup, the higher chance you have of winning.

When you select the ticket(s), you have to choose an option to pay which of course will be shards. Just keep following the prompts and you won't have a problem getting them.

If you have any questions post them here. Otherwise good luck.

How about raising the price of the tickets and increasing the cash prize? 1000 sounds a bit meh.

250 for a ticket to win 1000? Not sure about that.

 

[Demon_Skeith]

the pot grows if you fail. But I'll increase the amount a little later on.

Sounds satisfying and good, however 250 is too much for a ticket.

250 is way too much for a ticket and 1000 isn't nearly enough for a prize. Also, you pick five numbers and they all have to be right or just one? If it's all five then this could be going for quite some time...

 

[Demon_Skeith]

updated, see first post. And this is a lottery hissae, it's all or nothing.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

That is much more appealing.

 

[FTON]

Still much, but good enough for 1000.

 

[GracefulAssassin]

The pot is 100K.

The higher your usergroup, the higher chance you have of winning.

Could you explain this?

The prize looks much better... but I honestly doubt anyone will ever win if I'm reading this right. I mean in real life it's 6 numbers between one and 49 and millions of people buy tickets every week and often there's still no winner. Five numbers on a forum of just a few people buying a couple tickets per week will take quite some time before there's a winner. I know that means the prize will increase a lot but still. I think there should be a little more chance of people being able to win.

I was given a option in the ACP like this:

Odds of winning:

-4
-3
-2
-1
0
1
2
3
4

Higher the number the better the odds or something.

Again, this is the lottery. it's not made to be won
