I'm raffling off my Navy Issue Megathron. It comes rigged with three "Auxillary Nano Pump I". No other modules or weapons are included. A maximum of 20 tickets will be sold at a cost of 50million isk each. To purchase a ticket send the isk to "BigKohones" along with an evemail so I can contact with confirmation of reciept. Tickets are available for sale now through September 4th.
The winner will be responsible for pickup in Sinq Laison! I reserve the right to refund ticket purchases on Sept 5th if I do not sell a minimum of 12 tickets. If the minimum is met the raffle will take place on September 5th or if 20 tickets are sold I will hold the raffle earlier.
All names will be put into a bowl, mixed, then a single winner will be drawn randomly. If there are any questions or concerns evemail me =)

I am going to post this hear aswell because you dont seam to listen or dont care.
Quote: It nothing to do with people calling it a scam and really noone has said "This is a Scam" everyone has simply stated that;
1. Profit to high *applies to your last lotto this one much better* 2. You have no trusted person holding the ISK 3. The way the winner is decided does not allow the contestants to trust. ie you picking number maybe change it to the UK Powerball number somthing YOU can't decide.

Edited by: Gojyu on 26/08/2008 04:51:28 Better than your last one, however:
- You're still trying to make 500 mil profit from a single lottery. It doesn't happen like that. You're not the first person to realise that they could make a significant profit from lotteries, but this is simply too far

- Any sane person will take this as a big scam indicator. For your first lottery, you need a neutral third party. Chribba is the defacto standard, but you have to pay him a retainer. Given that you're making in the realm of half a billion profit though, you can afford it.

There's no other way around it. This lottery is a scam, 100%, no reasonable doubt. There is no way anyone could label it as something else. Use the results of a national lottery on a specific date, otherwise, you simply won't sell tickets

Cost of the tickets aside, as well as the whole no trusted third party deal, this is your biggest problem. There is literally *nothing* stopping you from entering an alt or friend into the lotto and saying they win, thereby stealing everyone's money. As has been mentioned, you need to find another way to pick the winner, one that can be verified by multiple people. Whatever exact technique you use doesn't matter, but if you want people to trust you, you have to have the choosing be out in the open so as to avoid any possible cheating.
Though I'm pretty sure you know that. Especially the way you're reacting to people's advice, it seems highly likely you're just trying to make some quick cash without actually putting in much effort. I mean, seriously. If you're going to use a lotto to scam, you really need to work up a reputation first. As it is, you just seem sort of lazy.

As others have said, and you have blatantley ignored, this certainly looks like a scam. You wont make the iskies as noone will trust you. Allready been said but here goes "maybe it will get into your head"
Use Chribba as a recognised 3rd party (makes this safe for players = sells tickets)
500 mill profit? WTF? I have considered running a lotto, if the profit was this high I would have allready done it.
Random winning number? Youre having a laugh aint you? Use the national lottery or something similar which cannot be affected by you or anyone else. Simple enough, so DO IT.
