Originally by: Jam180 Ah, what the heck, i bought some tickets aswell :)
Also, why's there a Shell_Shocked_4 and a Shell_Shocked_4_Re-roll on the chribba diceroller? (forgive me, im new to lotterys :P )
No problem. Its there incase the person who wins 1st prize is also drawn for 2nd and 3rd prize. In the info at the top, it states that you may win multiple prizes bur not if you have won the 1st prize. Should this happen, the re-roll dice will be unlocked to find new winners.

Ok, i'm with you so far, but shouldn't the field "unique values" be no then, instead of yes? As i said, i'm not familiar with these things, but that implies to me that no number can be pulled by the tool more then once...

umm....... i assumed that if you did not select "unique numbers" there is a chance that say, 17 could be draw over and over. Unique means one of a kind and so each time it would be different. I made 3 rolls incase the same persons numbers were drawn again. Tbh this was an afterthought and i wasn't totally sure the best way to do it. Any problems, i will get the Third party to hold a live draw or something. I welcome any constructive critisism as this is only my 4th lotto and only the 2nd time i've had a re-roll. My last lotto they were not needed.

Well, i'd assume you want the possibility of your 17 to be drawn multiple times. Looking at your second lottery, the reason you needed a reroll was that one person owned tickets #30 and #40? If it works the way i'm thinking, everyone with one ticket will be unable to win two prizes at the same time. But you would have to confirm it with someone who actually knows the tool.

Actually i have only had the re-roll on loto's number 3 and 4 but i know what you are getting at. The easiest way to fix it is to go back to allowing one person to win multiple prizes including 1st. the reason i changed it was because someone can make a calculated risk and buy a high percentage of tickets and potentually win all the prizes. I though this way, it gives people with less isk more chance. I would sooner keep it this way as i feel it will attract a more varied range of customers. For now i will contact the third party regarding your comments and see if they can help clear this matter up as like i said before, i'm not really sure on the tool itself.
tanks for your input.

The dice are set up correctly for what carbomb wants to achieve. One ticket should not be able to win more than one prize-- although if you have three tickets you could win all three prizes, for example.
If the grand prize winner (die #1 in the dice) also holds the tickets for #2 or #3, carbomb will use the extra numbers from the reroll to fill in winners. Taking it simply, let's say we have 10 tickets, and one guy holds 1-5.
First roll is: 3,1,8
The person holding ticket #3 wins the grand prize. However, he's also won the second prize, so carbomb would unlock the reroll and take the first number that isn't this guy to find out who won prize #2. He won't reroll for the grand prize, that has already been won.
An alternative way to do this is just to roll more than three dice in the first roll but that gets confusing when people see their numbers and wonder why they didn't win.
Hope this helps!

my other 3 have taken anything from 2 weeks to about a month.
Unfortunately despite the big letters asking people, some still arent posting once they have purchased tickets. I have mentioned before that if people posst, it keeps the thread fresh near the 1st page and is more likely to be seen and attract other people to buy tickets.
Hopefully this one take too much longer. My experience with the others suggest that the sencond half is the quickest half :)
