This a lottery for a Adrestia Heavy Assault Cruiser (info).
Basic lottery information
You will be purchasing tickets for 10 million ISK each, no limit to the amount of tickets. There are 3,200 tickets, in total returning 32 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.
First Prize: Adrestia Heavy Assault Cruiser
Second and Third price: 30 Day PLEX
Number of tickets in total: Between 3,000 and 3,500 depending on interest (lottery will be closed when reaching 3,500)
Lottery ends on Mon, Sep 6th, 18:00 or when 3,500 tickets has been sold (each ticket is valid for all three drawings).
How will a winner be picked and how can we verify the winning number?
As there will be somewhere around 3,000 to 3,500 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 ADRESTIA 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 ADRESTIA 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 ADRESTIA
If you want to buy two tickets, send 20,000,000 ISK to Chribba with the reason ADRESTIA
If you want to buy fifty tickets, send 500,000,000 ISK to Chribba with the reason ADRESTIA
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 ADRESTIA - 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.
You can also join the mailing list 'MS Lottery' for in-game information and updates of current and future lotteries.
Good luck everyone!

@Luxo, a typo, the max is 35b - thus 3,500 tickets at the most. Thanks for noticing.
So between 3,000 and 3,500 tickets (30-35b).

So if you're gonna be picking a winner by minusing out letters, what really is the point of buying multiples as once your name is counted against you, you have no chance. The only time it would come in handy is if you were lucky enough to pick a very small name, probably without vowels. I'm not saying you're not trustworthy or anything, but it just seems pointless to buy multiple tickets given the system.

Uhh what are you talking about?
It's not about names, it's pretty much the same ticket system as anything else except it does not assign a certain "number" to each ticket.
Buy 2 tickets and get two entries saying "2872" and "9872" for example, or buy two tickets and get two entries saying "Name" and "Name".
The query to pick a random entry wouldn't be different as either it picks a number, that in turn has a name assigned to it, or it picks the name directly.
Or are your post about something else?

Very nice. I assume pickup and such will be dealt with privately to minimize risk to the hull?

It's not just any cruiser, its a unique and fairly rare ship, and there has been incidents before where a large group will try and take out such a ship if seen flying about.
So naturally you want to be cautious. |

Ship will be delivered to winner in a safe manner of course, so sorry it will not be given to you outside Jita 4-4 for obvious reasons (ofc if winner requests it moved there it will be sorted).
