FAQ
No - You do not need to be present at the draw to win
If you win, your wallet will blink... or if it's a non ISK Prize you will recieve an EVE mail.
No - I *do not* "send out" receipts of purchase - The amount of work involved in doing such a thing is.. silly.. Which is why the receipt page was made - Use it.
------
Good Luck everyone
And thank you ever so much for taking part in this very special round. I'm *so* hoping we'll finally break the particpant record!
Have a read there mate.
Don't mind me helping, I'm at work bored out of my brains like every other day

It is because of the apostrophe (') in your name. TornSoul is aware this is a problem, but will not change the code before the end of the round to avoid fiddling with things when such a high volume of transactions is going on.

There is generally an influx of prices nearer to draw time. I think last Anniversary it got up to Z. Could be wrong. Needless to say it is a long draw, but exciting to be there. TornSoul, just remember to get the channel limit removed in advance this time.

I wonder what Tornsoul is going to do with the excess ~40bn isk so far accrued in ticket sales?
So far, the average spend per ticket-buyer is about 13.5m isk. With another 3 days to go, including a weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if total ticket sales topped 100bn isk. Titan anyone? My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

Anniversary rounds earn an excess that goes towards making up the difference in other rounds where BIG pays out more in guaranteed prizes than is covered by ticket purchases. And prizes are generally higher in the rounds following an Anniversary.
In the first Anniversary round, CCP supplied an Impoc and audited BIG Games' wallet as a result of the interest. I'm sure that'd be no different this round with them donating prizes again.
And, lol, only 100b? I don't get out of bed for anything less.

Edited by: Kazuo Ishiguro on 09/05/2008 14:41:44 I didn't think that the lottery usually made a significant loss, and I also wasn't aware that the surplus from one round was ever carried over to another one, although naturally it makes sense to do so. Does that mean that over its entire lifetime, the lottery has made zero profit? My research services Spreadsheets: Top speed calculation - Halo Implant stats |

Originally by: EBANK Ricdic Edited by: EBANK Ricdic on 09/05/2008 11:50:28 edit : I didn't realise it had been exceeded like this (check Kazua post below). I will retract my offer until/unless alternate prize options are forthcoming to cover the tickets purchased (plus the BIG retainer ofc). I am not interested in giving someone more profit off the lottery, rather providing the public with an extra prize option.
You wouldn't be providing profit to someone, you would just be providing another prize option and gaining some advertising for your bank. Any excess ISK from purchases will go towards future rounds. TornSoul may even increase prizes in this round. /me shrugs.

It's made a loss, as far as I know. TornSoul can confirm numbers. It's non-profit, all ticket purchases are eventually paid out as prize winnings. These Anniversary rounds go towards ensuring it's longevity.

The lottery never makes a profit , all the funds go back into future draws, and you can check all the old draws if you want - they all listed on the lottery site..

TBH even if TS kept the difference to himself he would deserve it for running this thing for 5 years.
And as others said, the profit from anniversary rounds is used to fund the "normal" lottery rounds, where he usually makes a loss(as the payout is guaranteed, regardless from the number of tickets bought - which probably contributes to its popularity).

Wait an hour or two, it runs off the API, which caches itself for an hour.
