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.

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

Whats the reason for changing the amount of tickets mid lottery?

Not really very good doing that, it was 3200 at the start and now you have changed it to 3000 to 3500.

Lame really.

-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.

-Number of tickets in total: Between 3,000 and 3,500 depending on interest

Now how many tickets are there chribba... 3200 or 3500?

@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).

assuming you buy a ticket and then never check the lottery threads again...

how do you announce the winner? Do you evemail the char that bought the tickets?

Problem with Chribba's system is that it continues to be based on 'TRUST'... I'm not saying he is scamming in anyway, far from it, as I believe someone with a reputation such as himself would unlikely put that at risk, after all, value of his reputation exceeds that of any amount anyone could possibly achieve in isk. But rarely should such a system be in place in which you can't confirm yourself as the winner, and as such, have it based on trust alone. It's not a good professional way of doing things, and Chribba comes across as someone who does do things in a professional manner.

So to have the lottery alone done through this method is unorthodox. While Chribba may find the method he is currently employing the most efficient and perhaps effective for him, it isn't the most effective for consumers. There are services now available, 3rd party services amongst them, that Chribba could use for his lottery system. I'm not going to give those services free advertisement here, but they utilise Chribba's dice as well, but my point is all their services can be checked.

Far as I'm aware, Chribba is the only biggest lottery currently going that you can't confirm for yourself, and I refuse to believe that it can't be done externally...

Hey, if you can't trust Chribba, who can you trust? As one of the few people in eve capable of running lotteries of this value, Chribba is doing a service to all the players that can't afford such toys as unique ships and motherships. If you don't trust Chribba, and can't accept the lottery based on his word, don't buy the tickets. I for one do trust Chribba, his long history of being the number one third party service in Eve, and for everything he does for the Eve community in general.

One of my corp members has won a Nyx from Chribba, and the last unique ship went to a member of my Alliance. Chribba has one of the longest running lottery systems, I'm not sure of the exact history, but his probably outdate all of the others which claim to be more secure.

tl;dr, when Chribba's name is involved 'trust alone' is more than sufficient.

I think what he's saying is that, even tho Chribba is a trustworthy person, transparency is always welcomed.

Only 262 tickets left.....

On a side note: the way numbers are assigned in Chribba's new system is just better for the ticket buyer, instead of getting the ticket number in order of purchase (for example: buy 10 tickets and get numbers 201-210) you instead get them randomly (for example: buy 10 tickets and get numbers 235, 346, 578, 590,etc etc).

Finally...Good Luck to all and thanks Chribba for another awesome Lottery

Maybe you should read the original post more carefully next time?

Basic lottery information You will be purchasing tickets for 10 million ISK each, no limit to the amount of tickets. [i]There are 3,500 tickets, in total returning 35 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.[i]
