Hello everyone and welcome to the first Weekly Lothros Lotto! Now, rather than go off on a tangent and end up talking about a bagle shaped universe(s), lets get straight to business shall we?
Prizes: Unlike some other lottos, this lottos is pure and simple Jackpot lottery! At the moment, the maximum prize pool is 150 million ISK. Not bad when you consider the ticket is only 2million isk.
Please remember this is a LOTTERY! If you lose don't whinge to me about refunds.
Ticket Price: 2 million ISK per ticket, of which 75% goes into the prize pool.
Number of Tickets (# remaining): 100 (99)
Rules:
Each ticket costs 2 Million ISK. The is Limit to the ammount of tickets one can buy is Fifteen (15). In an added twist, I shall purchace one (1) random ticket myself, and should that ticket win, all the money will roll over to the next draw. This will also happen should an Unsold ticket win the lotto, all the money in the prize pool will roll over to the next weekly draw.
WARNING: Unlike other lottos, if some tickets remain unsold, the draw will still take place. Should the draw result in an unsold ticket winning, all the prize pool rolls over to the next weeks lotto. Again i repeat, IF AN UNSOLD TICKET WINS, ALL MONEY ROLLS OVER! You do not get a free ticket in the next draw, all tickets become null and void, but the prize pool for the next draw is added to the rollover ammount. DO NOT BUY A TICKET UNLESS YOU AGREE TO THIS SYSTEM.
How to buy a ticket First choose your number(s).
Post here with the numbers you have choosen and deposit the ISK to Lothros Lottos, which is new character I have made for the sole task of organising and distributing the jackpot. Please make sure you put "lotto" as the reason for any isk transfers. Also, while not mandatory, a quick EVEMail to the same with the numbers bought in the title would make my life easier and any payouts faster. It is also VERY important you post here with the same character that deposists the ISK, otherwise you will be unable to claim the ticket.
Before claiming your numbers please check which ones have been taken (see below) and also check the latest replys. I can't update 24 hours a day ya know!
How a Winner is determined: A winner is determined by the last two WHOLE numbers of the NASDAQ Index at close on Friday the 27th of October 2006, with payment of any prize won on the Saturday (or in the rare case that I am unavailable on that Saturday, the Sunday) after the daily downtime.
Personnal Notes: Please do not spam this thread with: 1) Comments on stealing other peoples ideas. Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery after all
b) Saying that the roll over mechanic is bad and that you'd never play this lotto. Well, here is news for you, THERES NOONE FORCIN' YA! Now who'd have ever guessed that!
III) Just once more with feeling: IF AN UNSOLD TICKET WINS, ALL TICKETS LOSE AND THE PRIZE POOL, WHATEVER IT MAY BE, ROLLS OVER TO THE NEXT WEEKS LOTTO. This is to ensure that people are not waiting weeks and weeks for the lotto to be drawn. Considering the cheapness of the tickets, I think that this is great vaule. Please do not play if you are a sore loser.
No really, Don't.
And finaly: Good Luck!
P.S. If anyone notices and discrepancys/possible typos please evemail Lothros Andastar and I'll be more than happy to help!
