You can. Get 3 titans and get a trusted seller (Big, Darknesss or Chribba) to auction it off for you. For a price of course.
Leana Darksith knows. Too. Much... (but is right )

As Zola says, I've been down with the flu/throat infection for quite a bit (I'm fine again, since yesterday (monday) finally)
Website was done in a feber haze... (backend coding had thankfully been done before), so the fitting page had a few slip ups, should be fixed now.
I've also added the bit about the firesale option, if the winners can't fly the titan.
SWIIIIIINE FLU, run for the hills :P
seriously tho how many tickets are sold can we get a update like ecery day or 2?

The winners will be found via the same public method as has always been used with the BIG Lottery. Check the BIG Lottery website for details.

Originally by: TornSoul My apologies for the delayed response. RL has kept me away from EVE for a bit(*)
----------
As a gesture of goodwill/apology for the late response or whatever you wan't to call it, I'm going to waiver the firesale fee - aka any firesale will be done gratis. Not much else I can do atm...
----------
RE: BTTL receipt page not updating
Whoops DB script error...
Resulting in any BTTL tickets bought on or after the 20th getting marked as BIG Lottery tickets instead.
This has now been fixed. Aka all wrongly marked purchases has been reverted to what they should be (Ie. BTTL tickets instead of BIG Lottery tickets) - and the problem should not arise again.
------
RE: BTTL ticket sales slowing down.
I'm really at a loss about what to do about this - and a bit surprised (and sad) about it as well.
I do know one thing though - No matter *what* I do (or not) someone will be unhappy and I'll recive alot of flack for it.
That is to say, I'm interested in finding a solution that will leave most people happy - And that I'm not particular biased as to what that solution will be, as I'll get shouted at regardless.
Some stats:
date tickets 6 677 7 1.142 8 706 9 615 10 2.869 11 1.949 12 840 13 303 14 242 15 108 16 237 17 257 18 49 19 126 20 36 21 93 22 63 23 47 24 58 total 10.417
Over the last week on average 67 tickets have sold per day. There is 30.000 - 10.417 = 19.583 tickets yet to be sold. That's 19.583 / 67 = 192 days = 10 months until the last ticket have sold.
I doubt many would like to wait that long... So what to do?
I'm all ear for suggestions.
I would like to point out, that if no consensus can be found, I will *have to* stick with the current rules - ie. the draw will be held when all 30K tickes have sold.
So try and be reasonable.
Perhaps, and this is just a suggestion, I can make an ingame poll (for those with tickets) listing some of the suggestions made here.
The trouble is ofc that not all ticket holders will ever see that poll - nor this post...
But anyhow - Fire away.
(*) I'm currently painting my entire apartment - I now recall why it is I don't like painting...  And it is taking *far far* longer than expected... 
Hold 3 lottos with 10k tickets each instead of one huge lotto, for example 1000 have now sold so draw it and give away one titan, then reset ticket count and sell another 10000tickets in a week or so for a second titan, and then a few weeks after that do the third and final titan, i dont see how u wull sell 30k tickets i think most people that buy into the lottos have already bought into this one by now
*edit: damn u Chirinako thats my idea :(

Originally by: Tanith YarnDemon If this lottery was about a single titan, I wouldn't be the least bit of interested. If you want that kind of action, go with Chribbas lotteries. I'm here because I find it amusing with the extreme winnings 3 titans offer.
so your willing to wait the nearly 11months to see if all tickets sell, to find out that half people that bought tickets have quit the game so they need to sell more tickets

tbh now i would seriously refund all tickets and start the lotto again for 1 titan at a time, lot of admin work but atm your getting alot of mad people who dont wana wait 11 months or w/e for it to sell and another lot of mad people who wont stand for anything but the drawing of all 3 tickets

you failed math didnt you
please tell me how?!?!
if you had 1000 tickets before you had a 1000 out of 30000 chance in winning, if they draw only 1 titan u have a 1000 in 10000 chance of winning thus making it the same odds

Are you being serious?
What's better (not a trick question):
one out of ten one out of twenty one out of thirty
ok your right its better chance with less tickets in the pot but my point still stands why are people crying about better odds?
and can BIG comment on this for the love of JITA :p

i like the idea of setting a end date for maybe 1 months time and any tickets not sold by then get bought by BIG and get a independant 3rd party to draw the tickets

the problem atm with the lotto market is theres far to many, your talking about 10 lottos going up a week, titans, motherships, marauders, pirate battleships, carriers, dreads, blue prints even lottos for a years worth of plexs now theres far to many and the cash of casual players will be running out
