O M G.... omgomgomgomgomg...
I'm completly and utterly blown away by those numbers...
In just 24 hours, the number of participants went from ~400 to almost 3000... Words fail me to describe just how happy that makes me. A HUGE shoutout to CCP and IC for making this possible at all. Thank you guys, you rock!
And a BIG thank you to all you lovely people making this happen!
The BIG Lottery participation record has been standing at 5200 for now 4 years!!! (the number we reached at our 1 Year Anniversary) I had honestly started to believe it would never get broken - But now... I think the chance is there
It's still not a certain thing, because once this initial "storm" has died down, the numbers will be climbing alot slower. Time will tell.
I have a BIG 5 Year Anniversay wish though... Namely to break the 10K barrier... I doubt it will happen, but if it's ever going to happen, this round is it!
So... Tell your friends to get in on the fun. 1 ticket for a 1000 ISK is all it takes and *everyone* can afford that much.
Make my wish come true
-----------------------
Round 131 of the BIG Lottery runs from Monday, May 5th, 2007 to Sunday, May 18th, 2007
The drawing is on Monday, May 19th, 2007 - 1800 EVE time (GMT) in ingame channel 'BIG Games'.
Good Luck

So can we have an update on how many tickets have been sold etc?
Also be nice to know if any kind souls have donated extra prizes as has happened in years gone bye. Would be great to see that list get longer.

TornSoul,
Yes, nice numbers indeed. Congratulations.
Given the unprecendented and unexpected level of sales for round #131, has some consideration been given to enriching the prize pool somewhat? With approximately 71 billion collected in ticket as of 13 May 2008, it seems odd to only give away a 16 billion prize pool.
One possibly workable idea would be to draw multiples of prizes #1 through #3, and scale up based on sales. The following, based on receipts to date, would still leave a 23 billion "rainy day" fund for the BIG lottery:
- 3 drawings of prize level #1, 10 billion ISK.
- 3 drawings of prize level #2, 5 billion ISK.
- 3 drawings of prize level #3, 1 billion ISK.
- Hypothetical Prize Pool Total: 48 billion.

It appears that this makes up for all the waived 10% administration fees. ___ Victory smiles upon those who anticipate the changes in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after they occur. ~Guilio Douhet |

Well done BIG!!!
Will it be unethical to add more prizes at such a late stage? This could probably attract more participants to this madness...
