Thank you for the Inquiry This Lottery will be concluded @ 23:59 Sat 24 Jul Due to market fluxuations the (isk)value of some of the prizes have changed since it was started I am currently running the numbers and will make a determination within the next few hours as to how to best conclude it for all involved if it does not sell out.
More information to come 'soon'(tm)

(any tickets won during the Promotional event, will be treated as full paid tickets regardless)

Earlier today I promised to give an update on the state of this lottery.
First let me apologize to everyone for taking on a lottery of this size as my first step into this arena. As Grendel stated in his very informational Lottery 101 thread, I would advise anyone thinking of running a lottery to start small. Tho this event is not the largest that I could afford to back, it has become quite clear(to me) that somone such as myself should not start at this level as I simply do not have the 'brand name' or loyalty base to sell it out quickly. In fact, were it not for the support of many of my corpmates who have bought to date around 1/2 of the current tickets sold, this lotto would surely end in complete failure.
No one, player or host likes for a lottery to drag out for an extended period. It is simply not good buisness to hold a persons ISK in limbo. To that end, I am setting a deadline for this to complete. I stated earlier today that it would end on Sat the 34th, however after doing quite a bit of research and looking at the sales figures for this event , I beleive that date would most likely end in cutting the prizes down to an unacceptable level or canceling and returning everyones isk.
This I believe would be a poor solution for all involved, Therefore I have decided that sales for this event will end, for better or worse @ 23:59 on 31 july. With the draw bieng held a maximum of a few hours later I have decided that if this event does not sell out by then , I will accept responciblity for not starting small as I should have and pay some 'stupid tax'
The math says that my current 'break even' point in this lottery(after prizes 3rd party/ticket tracker fees, etc) would be approxamately 950 tickets sold.
Given that figure, if there are 900 tickets or more sold by 23:59 on 31 july, then all prizes, main and bonus, will be given out just as if the lottery were completly filled (with the exception of 'bump' bonus # 10 which would not have been filled)
If the lottery does not reach 900 or more sold by that date, I will make a determination based on the final sales and possibly be forced to reduce some of the prize value (most likely this would be by reducing or removing the isk associated with prizes 2-4) The top 5 ship prizes and the Orca 'high roller' bonus will be given out regardless of the final sales tally. These cuts, if they happen, will be in favor of the ticket holders, with me taking a loss unless the lottery sales reach the 950 ticket break even' point.
I have not given up however, and starting tomorrow I will be running 'mini lottos' similar to the ones that were popular in the live event held this weekend in the main thread, as well as another promotional event next weekend.
Thank you agian for your support of this lottery, and I will be doing everything in my power to get us to that magic 900 tickets sold.

I just noticed it myself, so no need to apologize!
Got my two Taranis (what the hell is the plural of Taranis?! Taranisses? Taranisi? Tarani? Whatever...) within minutes of seeing I won them. Great service!
I also think I just bought two more tickets. Who knows. Maybe I'll get a lucky streak. 
also *bump* -- Smoke me a Rifter. I'll be back for lagfest. |
