An update or somthing would be nice now...I can't imagine this lack of activity is doing much to boost BIGS rep, and if anything the uncertainty is now only damaging.
BIG - please for the love of god, post an update or make a decission.
I for one support the idea of refunds for those that want them, those that dont roll for the first titan. Heres the plan.
Offer 7 days to apply for a refund. Refund all tickets over 10k to owners, or offer to roll over to the next draw. Draw the 1st titan with 10k tickets - im sure most people will accept that and with 7 days to request a refund - if they don't Tough Titans.
Once Titan 1 is down, raffle Titan 2, rinse and repeat, hell run them simultaneously if needed, but please please do somthing, before your rep is damaged further.
Its taken you along time to earn that rep, dont lose it by ignoring your clients and hoping the porblem will 'go away'. ----------------------- TREAD ALLIANCE ACCEPTING CORPORATIONS Contact me ingame for more information

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

Well here is my 2 bits. Lotteries are gambling. Big has just as much chance to lose ISK as any horse track, if I place a bet on a horse and the horse is scratched from the race, I win.
Big has several choices.
1 Wait 6 or more months to do the drawing and take a hit to their reputation. Is there REALLY not enough ticket volume or are they following the path of Eve Bank? Folks will wonder.
2. Hold the drawing's now and learn from their screw up. It isn't like they have been losing ISK the last 5 years and it is gambling, even bookies lose once in a while.

Originally by: Florence Mayweather actually it's 30000 to 3 to win 1 titan
/celebrates people who can't do math.
It is, in fact, 30000 to 1. Unless you believe the following: If there's a 50% chance of rain on Saturday and an 50% chance of rain on Sunday, there's a 100% chance of rain this weekend? Notably, the correct answer is there's only a 50% chance of rain this weekend.

Haha, no. So, we can compute this two ways:
1) P(rain this weekend) = P(rain on Sat OR rain on Sun) = P(rain only on Sat OR rain only on Sun OR rain both days) = P(rain only on Sat) + P(rain only on Sun) + P(rain both days) = P(rain on Sat)*P(no rain on Sun) + P(no rain on Sat)*P(rain on Sun) + P(rain on Sat)*P(rain on Sun) = .5*.5 + .5*.5 + .5*.5 = .75. So, 75% chance of rain this weekend.
2) P(rain this weekend) = 1 - P(no rain this weekend) = 1 - P(no rain on Sat)*P(no rain on Sun) = 1 - .5*.5 = 1 - .25 = .75. So, 75% chance of rain this weekend.
So, your example was incorrectly computed. Good job!
As for the odds, I dunno, since odds suck. I only like to deal in actual probabilities, as those are a better way of communicating that info. To that end, we can compute the probability of winning at least one titan.
P(win >= 1 titan) = 1 - P(win no titans) = 1 - P(1st ticket a loser)*P(2nd ticket a loser)*P(3rd ticket a loser) = 1 - (29999/30000)*(29999/30000)*(29999/30000) = 0.0000999967 = 0.0001 approx. So, you have a 0.01% chance of winning at least one titan. Alternately, you have a 99.99% chance of winning no titans. Note that the above computation is valid because the tickets are chosen with replacement: a single ticket may win several times.
But haha, no one's going to read this.

What does it matter if the lotto only ends in November. If you win, that will be the quickest 50bil that you will ever make in Eve. It took them a month to sell 10k tickets, so it should prob end in November. Just sit back and relax, and when you least expect it, BIG will call YOU!!!. :)

Bought 5 I think the problem is that alot of players don't know about it or don't know how to send the isk. If big did alittle more advertising. Then updated thier faq, with a more step by step explanation (of how to send the isk) one of us would probably be flying a titan by now.

Why not have BIG buy tickets as previously asked, but to do so incrementally? Say, 1000 tickets bought every Sunday after downtime. It gives a definite final possible date which would make many people happy and exposes BIG to less of a gamble than buying up all 19000 and change tickets remaining.
I don't expect my tickets to get me anything but a hole in my wallet--it's GAMBLING, after all. But it would be nice to see some definite movement on this rather than just stumbling around in the dark. I suspect that most of the people who will buy tickets are already in if the system stays as is. Adding a timer with this gets some more impulse players off the sidelines, and ends it that much faster.

Chances are not 50\50.
For example, you bought 100 tickets, your chance is about 0,003% to win, or to show it so: 100\30000.
I'm agree with another guys: "So have one lotto now, at 10k + tickets, get rid of one titan. People see that you succesfully did that, then they will buy more tickets. then like previous 2 posters stated, at 20k and at 30k...."
Do not forget each ticket has chance to win each titan.

To sell 30k ticket it's not realy easy. Just count, 50k ppl online. More then 30% are newbies, they not only don't have money, they even don't know what is titan. Another about 20% of ppl do not trust such lotteries. And the rest, about 50% of ppl (25k persons) maybe will buy ticket. 30k of tickets, hm... it's realy running over.
you do know there are about 250k ppl subscribed to eve

I haven't checked this thread for a while now, and I see that the 10% fee for having a firehouse sale for a winner has been removed. I never thought this was a bad idea to begin with, and will donate 10% of whatever my Titan sells for, if I am lucky enough to win one, to BIG's coffers if for no other reason than BIG having the balls to put on a drawing of this magnitude for people who may never have the chance to own a Titan on their own. Kudos to you BIG, and keep up the good work !!
