Edited by: GenderBender on 06/10/2007 01:44:03 Edited by: GenderBender on 06/10/2007 01:43:05 Some of you might know me from Jita local. I'm normally the one standing on my soap box, expressing my opinions on one thing or another. If not Jita local, check your Jita transactions, you probably bought an item or two from me. :)
Now, I'm bored, so I'm holding a little lottery. It's no high stakes freighter giveaway, it's also not a scam, and the best part is, your investment is minimal. This is all just for fun!
Prizes:
1st Prize: One Kestrel, Punisher, Incursus, or Rifter, winner's choice. 2nd Prize: One Kestrel, Punisher, Incursus, or Rifter, winner's choice. 3rd Prize: Two free entries into my next lottery! (Oooooh, ahhhh!) 4th Prize: One free entry into my next lottery!
The real prize? Your ship name will be "The Lottery Weiner!". Proudly strut through your home system, the envy of all your friends, and the bane of all your enemies! Watch as the Jita IV-4 Caldari Navy Assembly Plant exit point clears the way as you exit the station, in awe of the most awesome frigate in all of Eve!
Ticket Cost: 10,000 ISK
To enter, simply post here with your number reservation, and send your isk to me. Limit three entries per character.
The winning numbers will be based on the Powerball "2by2" daily drawing. (see brief explanation below, site is viewable [url=http://www.powerball.com/2by2/2by2_main.asp]here[/url]. Since it's just for fun, and such as small amount, I'm hoping the slots fill up pretty quick, so I'll shoot for the Sunday drawing on 21 OCT 2007.
Could it all be a scam? Well, it stands the same chance of any other Eve lottery. Difference is 1) come on, it's 10k, just have some fun! And 2) nobody can truthfully call me a scammer. I've been in Jita a while now, and have never even thought about it. Some people might not like me for my opinions, but that's about it.
So let's have fun!
Disclaimers: 1. Your friends and enemies might live under a rock and not understand what a big deal this is. I cannot be responsible if they don't feel (or don't admit to feeling) the way I said they would. 2. The Jita IV-4 Caldari Navy Assembly Plant exit point won't actually clear out of your way. I know it's a believable concept, but my Jedi Mind Powers are not yet strong enough to make that happen. 3. If the slots are almost but not quite full on 21 OCT 2007, I will delay the lottery one more week, to 28 OCT 2007. If, at that time, there are still open slots, the lottery will be cancelled and all funds will be promptly returned. 4. Please feel free to correct me on any errors I've made. This is, after all, my first lottery. All errors will be noted and corrected.
Special thanks to Inevitability and his Freighter Lottery (found [url=http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=603029&page=1]here[/url]) for my inspiration. I hope I don't steal too much of your thunder. :)
Powerball "2by2" Explained: It's four slots, four balls, numbered 1 through 26. If you look at the site [url=http://www.powerball.com/2by2/2by2_numbers.asp]here[/url], you will see the four numbers accross for each date. Color will not matter in this drawing, only the four numbers. All four numbers will indicate a winner, first prize being the number in the first column, second in the second column, and so forth. To put it simply, on the date of the drawing, just go to that address, and look for your number next to the corresponding date. If you see it, you're a weiner! (For legal purposes, read: winner).
1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) 11) 12) 13) 14) 15) 16) 17) 18) 19) 20) 21) 22) 23) 24) 25) 26)
Edit 1 - New note on process of entering. Edit 2 - Entry limit noted.

I like your enthusiasm but this really should have been put in the WTS forums. It will have far more exposure and will be geared more towards your target market.
Good luck with the lottery

I wouldn't ordinarily bump this, but since its on the top already...
I'd like to thank you for not using the bonus ball of the UK National Lottery. That has to be the most ripped off string of 7 words in these entire forums, and the guy who actually ran the first UK bonus ball lottery ought to have some royalties coming.

Inevitability posted right after Niffetin, requesting two of the same numbers. I talked to Inevitability about it, and he requested that I choose two random numbers for him. Therefore, Inevitability is now slotted for 10, 19, and 25.
Thank you very much to both of you, and especially my inspiration!

Edited by: GenderBender on 08/10/2007 08:45:36 Edited by: GenderBender on 08/10/2007 08:44:17 Ivestigador, it's only 10k per ticket, so I sent you 20k ISK back. Thanks for your entry!
And with Investigador's purchase, that closes the ticket purchasing portion of the lottery!
Thank you SO much for everyone that participated. Like I said in the beginning, this was all for fun, and I'm glad to see there's plenty of people that just want to have some!
With the resounding success of this lottery, *unless* anyone objects, I'm going to move the drawing up to the Sunday, 14 OCT 2007.
Edit - Sorry Investigador, little too much Schmirnoff in me, I put you down as "Instigador". Fixed now :)

Since there were no objections to announcing the winner a week early, I'll announce the winner here and in Jita local at 2300 Eve Time. This is, of course, assuming the 2by2 numbers have been announced by that time. If it isn't, I will update this thread with a new announcement time.
Hopefully the winner is in the system at the time of announcement. If not, I'll be dissapointed that nobody answers my Bob Barker-esque "come on down!". Additionally, the winners not present will receive their ship via contract.
Thanks again to everyone that participated and supported this :)

Ok, now let me take a moment to feel like a real idiot. I didn't realize 2by2 doesn't do Sunday drawings. Tomorrow when I get home, I will look at the 14 Oct 2007 numbers, and announce the winners as stated above. Sorry for the mixup!

Edited by: GenderBender on 16/10/2007 02:49:39 Congratulations to the following wieners!
#1 - Great Artista (sorry for the misspelling of your name) #2 - sirnathan #3 - Mr McCargo #4 - Niffetin
I sincerely apologize for my confusion about the days and times the numbers were released. I promise the next one will go much more smoothly, with a concrete day and time set for the prize announcements.
All winners should have received an evemail from me. Great Artista and sirnathan, I'll need your preferred shiptype, pretty please.
To everyone else, thanks very much for entering! Keep an eye out for GenderBender's Improved Teeny Weeny Lottereeny!
P.S. - The numbers were selected from the 15 October 2007 drawing, because there is no Sunday drawing.
