The string of 8's? It's just the vagaries of random number generation from what I can tell. I actually did look into it to make sure that it wasn't somehow freaking out, but everything looks legit.
Basically the perfect storm of "guy that only buys #8" and "string of winning #8s". Sorry! --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

When on the "Sorry, looks like someone may have already started a new blink" page, clicking "active blinks" does nothing.

Please triple check your formula, no one is that lucky with the number 8 :D
Like the idea though keep it up :)

Believe me, when I saw the numbers rolling through I was quadruple checking :P
I'm happy to stick it here, it's not complex:
//RNG was seeded at init() function roll_winner($blinkID, $num_tickets) { if(is_null($num_tickets)) die("Error rolling dice"); $winner = mt_rand(1, $num_tickets); $query = "UPDATE lottery_blinks SET finish_time = NOW(), winning_number = $winner WHERE winning_number IS NULL AND id = $blinkID"; $r = mysql_query($query); }
The relevant line there is just $winner = mt_rand(1, $num_tickets); which uses the PHP Mersenne Twister to pull a random number. Mersenne has been proven to work well at providing true randomness so it's just a lucky streak, sorry!
(Plus that guy has played over 30 blinks at this point I think :P) --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Edited by: Merlot Stonegate on 15/09/2010 20:32:01 Awesome implementation!
Is there a max duration for an open lottery?
Like if there is only 1 or 2 blinks (from the guy that picked it) and no one else, will that stay open until filled?
Thanks!

you have hidden the part when it say i can't win, i'm sure of it :P this new site is a pretty good idea, but would be better if i could win a bit xD
well anyway, just a little advice ; * do something about the text of the prize, i find it irritating to see this when my mouse passed by. and maybe i'm not alone * little prize seems to have over-high cost ; for example most of the tech2 frig seems to have a total ticket cost which is more than twice the real cost, seems a bit too much for me. * don't forget what i said yerterday, about being able to see the tab to add a blink, i finnally saw it some hours ago, but the time to read it it was too late :P i think most people don't know at all how it looks, and what they can choose ;)
well wanyway, you did a good job, as i lost more money in blinks that on all lotteries i tried here in a month xD

I don't have it visible yet because I haven't needed it, but I do have support for blink expiration, along with logic for it. So we'll see!

I got an idea for you somer. Currently you have it set at 2 large and 3 small prizes at a time. I would suggest that you change it to 1 giant, 2 large, and 3 small. With giant meaning freighter, carriers, rorqual and such. It looks like the giant prizes will sit for a while, and it would be nice to have a plex and a large ship on at the same time. Just an idea, great game, im very addicted.

Yeah that's looking like a good idea. That Rorqual is going to sit for awhile if I'm not careful. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Most Blinks Played Apachekills (39)
Okay, I'm re-evaluating the blink tiers based on feedback. I expired the Rorqual and refunded ticket money on it so it can slot into the new megablink tier. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

Too expensive for me to consider blinking right now. They'd be half a bil a blink.
If blink continues to gain in popularity we'll revisit. --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |

We've split blinks into three categories, mostly thanks to Apachekills!
Normal Blinks: Maximum of 3 Big Blinks: Maximum of 2 (Orcas, Pirate BSes, etc.) Mega Blinks: Maximum of 1 (Rorquals, Carriers) Total Open Blinks: Maximum of 5
Hope this makes everyone's blink experience even better! --- SOMER Lotteries SOMER Blink - new! SOMER Escrow Services |
