I like the idea of spliting it up into 3 winners, but I disagree with keeping some of the isk for future lotteries. UNLESS the players that bought tickets in round 27 will have a ticket in all future lotteries untill the full 4mill(rough amount) isk is won. For those that buy in from now on only get a chance at that single lottery.
What does everyone think?

Originally by: Helison Splitting the money into more rounds is a very bad idea. We have already calculated of winning the whole pot and not the half.
It's incredible...
By not splitting the money: You would *not* have won the whole pot. You would have won the first prize (if lucky).
Why? - Becuase ppl asked us to split up the prize.
As we decided this, we furthermore decided (again listening to those posting on the fourms) on a top prize of 1 billion. This seemed to be about the amount most ppl found 'reasonable' any one persone should win in one go.
So *noone* is/was going to win the full pot of 3.8 billion for themself, becuase of the wish for this cap.
Splitting the pot over more rounds or not : The most ISK in one go people can win will be 1 billion (Again : This by ways of 'popular demand')
So *nothing* has been taken away from anyone (as the prize is 'capped')
You are furthermore given the *option* of trying to win 1 Billion again in further rounds if you so desire.
The rules changed : Yes they did - "By popular demand"
It was asked that there was a max on what you could win. It was asked to split up the prize. (more or less saying the same thing really)
We have made both changes.
Also : By having 3 prizes instead of the usual one prize only, everyones chance of winning 'something' has tripled.
I am one of the people that agree to split the pot. But at the same time I disagree with not using the whole pot (3.8 Billon) in 28. Unless the original ticket buyers has a chance to win it over multiple events/lotteries (in 28 and 29). If I bought 1000 tickets for lottery 27 and 28, (which at the time rule was 27 is for ship, 28 is isk from lottery 27) then those 1000 tickets should apply to the chance of winning 27(ship) and 28(isk from 27).
What it seems to me, what BIG is doing is splitting the pot and allowing more players to enter so it will add to future pots. Kind of a pyramid scheme. Which in the long run will benifit BIG, as players are more intrested in the bigger pots. Currently your not taking isk out, but if it works you could in the future with great success.
No offense to BIG, as I like what they are doing. But this big of a rule change should have been prior to lottery 27.

@TornSoul
What was your (BIGs) agreement with CCP for the ship auction and proceeds from the ship auction?
