This a lottery for the chance to grab a Wasp II BPO. There will be two winners drawn so each ticket is valid for both drawings since there is two BPOs being "lotto'ed".
Basic lottery information
You will be purchasing tickets for 10 million ISK each, no limit to the amount of tickets. There are 3,000 tickets, in total returning 30 billion ISK, but I may chose to close the ticket sales at an earlier point if I see the interest decreasing and thus speeding up the end of the lottery and faster annoucing of a winner.
Prize: One of two Wasp II BPOs (or both if you're really really really lucky).
Number of tickets in total: Between 2,500 and 3,000 depending on interest (lottery will be closed when reaching 3,000)
Lottery ends on Fri, June 19th, 18:00 or when 3,000 tickets has been sold.
How will a winner be picked and how can we verify the winning number?
As there will be somewhere around 2,500 to 3,000 tickets in total I've chosen to simply put all the pilots into a database, and upon picking winner simply running a select statement ("select pilot from tickets order by newid()" - MSSQL), and the name that comes up is the winner.
While you cannot verify this via external sites and/or media it simply comes down to trust.
Cool, so how do I get tickets?
Buying tickets is simple, each ticket cost 10 million ISK and you can buy as many as you would like. Simply send the amount of ISK for your wanted number of tickets to me - Chribba (ensure that you type it correctly) AND - and this is important! - Add the message WASP in the reason line of the ISK dialog, the message will enable me to track your ticket and insert it into the drawing database properly.
ISK that is sent NOT having the WASP message will be seen as a donation to me and will NOT be a part of the lottery. You do not need to send me an EVEmail with the message, only type it with the ISK.
Check your tickets here: Linkage
Examples:
If you want to buy one ticket, send 10,000,000 ISK to Chribba with the reason WASP
If you want to buy two tickets, send 20,000,000 ISK to Chribba with the reason WASP
If you want to buy fifty tickets, send 500,000,000 ISK to Chribba with the reason WASP
Of course you can send 10 million now and 20 million later, that won't make any difference, in total you will still have bought 3 tickets. So you can either send per ticket or in one sum, as long as they wear the correct message, the number of tickets will be correct.
Tickets will only be counted in the steps of 10, for example sending 12 million ISK will still only be counted as one ticket, and 2 million ISK will be treated as a donation. Sending 9,999,999.99 ISK will give you ZERO tickets as it will be rounded down.
IMPORTANT! READ THIS TWICE!
Tickets cost 10 million each.
ISK needs to be sent to Chribba with the reason WASP - in ISK dialog, not EVEmail.
A confirmation is available here, so you can see how many tickets you have purchased and that your name is in the database. The data is imported on regular intervals via the API so it may take a few hours for it to show up.
Good luck everyone!

10 tickets but i think your stretching it - by that i don't mean the 'item' but it's value in relation to the nr of tickets.

You might want to correct that.

Thanks that small typo fixed 
Stretching the value can be discussed of course, the BPO was valued around 13-15B, and since there are two BPOs -> 30B. But of course this is what the owner of the BPOs hope to get out from it, for all I know my value of the BPO might be way too much and tickets not selling, in which case I will go negative since I still have to pay the owner. But at least then I've learned a bit on Blueprint lotteries. So from my view it's more of a test at this point.
As for the money, these are not my own blueprints (but I do have them in my hangar atm) so I only get my lottery-holding fee out of this one.

Ahhh, sorry. I understood '3k tickets for just 1 draw of 1 bpo', not '3k tickets, for 2 draws with each 1 bpo'.
My bad.
PS: I think i know who's BPO's they are, would epic if i got them both. :) |

Just some quick questions. How will the drawing for this work? Will you be drawing 1x (first 2 picked from your query) for the winners?
Or will you be doing 2 queries instead. Also, if you win the first wasp, I'm assuming you are still eligible for the winning the 2nd Wasp? |

Winning is not important, the feeling of putting ISK into something you have a little chance of winning is what makes it so great ^^

The query command will be executed twice, that so that each ticket becomes "available" twice, as compared to if the query was executed to return 2 records each ticket would only have one chance.

It doesn't matter, your tickets however will be listed under your corporation at the verification page. I however can still see that it is you who sent it in the event of your corporation showing up as a winner.

@chribba
one thing missing in your link to the current list of ticket is:
when does it go updated?
was it 30 minutes ago? 10 hours ago? was it at 02h22 evetime or 12h34 or 13h37 evetime?
maybe this is a little thing you could add |
