Edited by: Choans on 14/10/2010 18:32:02 EVE Lottery Jackpot at: 500.000.000 ISK
Let me present a new and shiny game in EVE. This one is simple and it will never end. There is no item as prizes, it is just pure ISK. Visit the EVE Lottery site at www.jackpot.evesites.com
How does it work? EVE Lottery works as a regular number lottery. Every week a 5 digit number will be announced, the number sequence will be randomly selected with the help of Chribbas dice tool. To be a winner in this game you need to pick a number sequence and hope that your numbers are drawn at the end of the week. If you have 2,3,4 correct numbers you will get a fixed prize and if you manage to pick 5 correct numbers you are a Jackpot winner and will get the full pot. Each week 75% of the intakes will be reinvested and added to the pot. The jackpot will grow and grow until someone get 5 correct numbers. An empty pot will automatically start at 500mil ISK. Visit our site to view your ticket and who else have tried their luck.
I got my lucky numbers, what now? To bet on your lucky numbers, you need to send 5.000.000 ISK to character Miss head'n'tails. Add a 5 digit number-sequence in the reason field when doing the ISK transfer. Only numbers 1 - 9 can be used and only one number sequence per transfer can be sent.
What do I win? 2 correct numbers = 10mil ISK 3 correct numbers = 50mil ISK 4 correct numbers = 100mil ISK 5 correct numbers = JACKPOT - All ISK in the jackpot goes to you.
How will the draw work Chribbas dice tool will generate a 5 digit number. Chribbas dice tool will be setup to do 5 rolls, minimum value of 1 and maximum value 9, unique values is unchecked. It will give us 5 numbers that will be read from top to bottom. The dice will be created at the start of each week and unlocked to reveal the winning number at the end of the week. This means noone can predict the numbers and cheat.
I will announce in this thread when i start the draw and when i end it. During that time-frame any ISK sent will be refunded. Timestamp on the forum post will determine the start and end.
Miss head'n'tails, my alt has earlier been used in the Head'n'Tails games that you can read more about here. Heads'n'Tails
Third Party A third party will be involved when the Jackpot goes above 1bil ISK. One is already informed of these games and will confirm when it is time.
Good Luck

Edited by: Miss head''n''tails on 14/10/2010 18:29:49 Confirming this is my alt.
Each draw will be named and displayed in this post. One draw per week Monday to Sunday (if nothing else is announced). Every draw will be named with week number and year (week 41 year 2010 = W41-2010)
Current game: W41-2010 Started at: 2010.10.14 18:27:00 Ends at: 2010.10.24

I have spoken with Choans who asked if the pot goes over 1b isk to deposit the isk with me. Please note I am not securing any isk currently, I will only be involved in the larger pots.
Choans is a decent fella from what I can tell though and this lottery idea is certainly new to the eve forums :)

in all honesty its the only one of its kind i've seen so far, most of the other lotteries are closer to raffles. heck it might really be the only one of its kind so far
now question: does the order matter as opposed to just the numbers? (like scratch offs v. standard lotteries)

Hey Egola No the order of the numbers does not matter. Your numbers just need to match the winning sequence, one by one. Example; your lucky sequence is 12345 and the winning sequence is 54321. 5 correct numbers and you walk away with the Jackpot.
Hope to see you try it you :)

Yes the site will pull your payments and show them. Tho that can take up to 2 hours since API dont allow downloads to often.
The jackpot need to be manually updated should work to make it autmatic ofc but it aint that now.
I will update the pot later when i can logon to eve and confirm all properly
7days left to play, then we will have an exciting evening to see if we have some winning numbers.
Good Luck everyone.

Its 1 in 252 if you only draw unique numbers (Non repeating, Like a REAL lotto(0,1,2,3,4 or (1,4,6,8,9)
However this lottery use numbers 0 to 9 (REPEATING) (0,0,1,1,2 or 1,2,3,5,5). This makes the total number combinations to reach 30,240
Therefor, your chances to win are 1 in 30,240
Hope my maths is right ^_^

is the odds not 10 (to power) 5, so it shold be 1 in 100,000 chance, or @ 5mill per ticket 500billion isk to cover every number (basically its numbers 1 > 10 x 5 numbers so 10 to power of 5)
