Round Details (as of Mar 27 - 11:00):
Tickets sold: 428,655,924 Participants: 30
Payout: 752,223,128 ISK Drawing: Mar 27
Greetings!
Round 2 of the Grand Banks Lottery ended with a 79,7M payout to Kirex - thanks to Yeux Gris' generous donation of 50M to the pot.
The third round will now begin, drawing will be held Sunday 27th. I've established a set of rules for this contest, bear in mind that these are prototype rules and may be subject to change in the rounds following this one.
Standing Game Rules To enter the Grand Banks Lottery, simply wire X ISK to this character's account. 1 ISK = 1 ticket. There's no maximum amount as to how many tickets you can buy.
95% of the ticket income is paid back as prize money to a single winner. 5% is kept by the Grand Banks.
Drawings take place every Sunday (time not specified, I have a real life after all). The official closure for entries is at the beginning of said Sunday's DT - all entries received after that will go to the next round of the Lottery, even if the drawing hasn't yet taken place. The winning ticket will be derived from this random number generator.
No refunds unless for in one case, and that is if you should accidentally wire too much money to the Grand Banks (say e.g 50M instead of 5M). Mails sent requesting refund because of this has to be sent at the approximate same time of the transaction. Should your entry have been posted on the forums already, it will not be refunded out of respect for other people who might have bought tickets because of said entry.
I think that will be all. Good luck, folks! /Mr Lloyd
Oh, and some statistics!
Money paid out in prize so far: 85,407,804 ISK Total tickets sold: 37,271,373 to 17 participants
Donations: 50M by Yeux Gris

I have a special announcement to make; the previous doner - Yeux Gris - has offered a donation of 250M ISK. This comes with a condition though, 100M tickets need to be sold. This 250M will be flatly added on top of the normal lottery payout, and it would potentially bring the prize this round to 345M!
Even though it's long shot that we'll reach 100M, it's entirely up to you gamers!
Oh, and don't forget to tell your friends!

Ah, I see my misunderstanding now. I'm very sorry Mr Gris - should this be any trouble for you then just nevermind the donation and I'll take the full blame for it
I doubt it will be an issue anyhow though, seeing how few people seem interested in this round.

Yes, Mr Messerschmitt - I check in on this character whenever I have the time and view the wallet journal. You get your ticket numbers by the order in which you bought them. Example:
Adam buys 9 tickets, Bart buys 3 and Caesar buys 7. Adam gets number 1-9, Bart 10-12, Caesar 13-19. I keep track of the numbers through a simple Excel sheet (which is public and can be requested by anyone at any time).
Oh, and while we're at it I might as well confirm your ticket purchase! Good luck

Ladies and gentlmen, with the purchase of 100M tickets by spiritfa11 the pot is now up to 373,7M!
I can confirm that Yeux Gris was true to his word, despite it being me who misunderstood his intentions to begin with. 250M ISK was wired to me a few hours ago, this will be paid out as prize in full to whoever wins this round!
Let's get the real game started, as it stands now spiritfa11 has a very high chance of walking home with the entire pot!
Can't even begin to describe how exciting this is. 3rd round and this success already - all thanks to Yeux Gris!

Three major participants now; spiritfa11 with 100M tickets, Nero Scuro with 80M and Kcid with 100M.
Gotta say this is way beyond my expectations. Stakes are high... very high.

Congratulations! The ISK will be wired to you within minutes.
