The BIG Lottery 7 Year Anniversary Round #183
Status so far
Participants : 2.014 Tickets sold : 53.834.926
For any normal BIG Lottery round the above numbers would be unspeakably fantastic. For an anniversary round they are heartbreaking to be honest.
Such is the power of news - and inversely (as observed) it's absence.
The anniversary round came of to an awesome start, heralded by a news piece on the front page, which was awesome.
Unfortunately that news piece quickly "disappeared" as other news items where posted, even from the "list of older news" it was quickly scrolled out of sight.
This is no ones fault of course, it just "is".
But it's nevertheless quite heartbreaking when I *know* from previous anniversaries just how many *would* take part in this unique give-away if "only they knew".
To give a little perspective :
1 year anniversary round : 4.783 participants 2 year anniversary round : 3.459 participants 3 year anniversary round : 3.306 participants Round #100 anniversary round(*) : 1.853 participants 1 year anniversary round : 6.046 participants 1 year anniversary round : 3.890 participants
(*)We wanted to mark round #100, and we didn't feel we could do two BIG rounds so close to each other - The 4 year anniversary round was round #104 - So we opted for the BIG #100. In hindsight we should probably not have gone for the #100
As can be seen, we are painfully short of previous anniversary rounds numbers.
My BIGgest joy is to see as many as possible get involved in and excited about, and get a chance at, the awesome anniversary prizes, so "only" 2.014 participants (as of this writing), is, as mentioned a few times already, quite heartbreaking.
So, at the risk of angering every alliance leader in EVE(*), I would ask everyone that reads this to make an alliance mail (if no one in your alliance beats you to it first of course) pointing out the over-awesome prizes available and tell them to go buy some tickets, and see if we can't, perhaps, at least reach 3.000 participants.
(*)Sorry guys, I know what a mess the alliance mails can be - Forgive me
