Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.13 03:00:00 - [1] Dear pilots. I have just finished doing the bpo lottery for a friend of mine, and I liked doing this, so I decieded to do another one, and if it catch on, I will make it a regular thing :D There is a few changes compared to the last lottery: There will be sold ONLY 250 tickets! Last round there was a bit of confusion as some thought there would be sold only 200 tickets, well in this round ONLY/MAX/JUST/A TOTAL of 250 tickets will be sold :) Also, this round a ticket will cost 10million. --------------- And there will be alot more prizes: 1st Prize: 1x battleship bpo of choice! 2nd Prize: 1x Battlecruiser bpo of choice! 3rd Prize: 1x Battlecruiser bpo of choice! 4th Prize: 1x Cruiser bpo of choice! 5th Prize: 1x Cruiser bpo of choice! 6th Prize: 1x Cruiser bpo of choice! This totals about 1.9billion worth of bpo's ---------------- And now, For the rules: 1 ticket cost 10million isk (10.000.000) MAX tickets is 10 per person (which equals 100million isk) Reply to this post once the isk is sent (This is bacause some1 have names that are typed in various ways, and its easy for me to just check the forum and compare the picture ingame to make sure its the right person) IMPORTANT: To Participate: Transfer your isk to "XTrans Lottery" (This is my alt and has been created for this purpose alone. SHE IS a member of X-Trans too) As this alt has the sole purpose to keep record of the lottery tickets, I will only log her in once in a while to check status on ticket sales and send out confirmation mails. If you do not recieve a mail within a day or two, please contact me. EVERYONE will recieve this mail atleast 12 hours before the draw --------------- Tickets sold: 0 Participants: 0 --------------- The draw will take place AS SOON as 250 tickets has been sold. If it takes more than about a week to raise the tickets the isk will be refunded. --------------- References: X-Trans Lottery 1: Link X-Trans Lottery 2: Link X-Trans Lottery 3: Link X-Trans Lottery 4: Link X-Trans BPO lottery 1: Link Transportation: Link (Current/Active post) Transportation: Link (Old) Transportation: Link (Older) ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.13 20:41:00 - [2] Originally by: Alvara Originally by: OVERL0RD Originally by: Alvara Originally by: KineTiK Edited by: KineTiK on 13/02/2006 14:32:24 do those prizes include t2 bpo's? i guess not..but cant hurt to ask :P rofl How I wish. I'll probably be sending a 100 mil again. 100 mil for 4% chance of winning something and <24% chance of at least getting something. While writing this a question occured to me. After someone wins, do all their tickets get taken out of next prize drawing? Someone wins BS, their 10 tickets gets taken out, then the BC will be drawn for, etc. the point of buying 10 tickets is u have 10 chances so if u win the bs u still got 9tickets remaining. thats the way i see it anyway. It needs an official answer. Since if its your way, then its possible though unlikely one person could win everything. Which would **** most off who were involved. Anyways, better she say one way or another now, while it is still early. Yes, I've been thinking about this myself, and basicly how it goes is that if you win on one ticket you still have 9 tickets left, but though HIGHLY unlikely a person COULD win all prizes, which would be very bad in many ways (except from to the winner of course) One solution could be that any one person can win MAX two prizes? though I doubt this will be the case its good to have it sorted out before hand. What do you guys think about that? :) ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.14 00:29:00 - [3] and with that one 10th of the tickets has been sold :) 222 tickets remaining ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.14 10:58:00 - [4] Edited by: Xinity on 14/02/2006 10:58:21 Confirmation has been sent, and at current rate of sales it will take about 7 days to sell all tickets, so pretty much going as planned atm :P Thanks to all for buying tickets so far! Hopefully I will make 6 people very happy in about a week :D And as for the question regarding winning multiple bpo's: I'm setting a MAX limit of bpo's you can take home to two. This means that if you have two tickets (or more) you stand the chance at winning two bpo's, and of course the more tickets you have, the bigger your chances are to actually win something. with ten tickets you have a 4% chance at winning the first prize, but also a 24% chance at actually winning something (unless my math is way of! Feel free to correctme if it is) ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.14 21:34:00 - [5] 80 tickets have been sold now, which means there are 170 left. :P Will send confirmation mail first thing in the morning ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.15 05:06:00 - [6] Sending out confirmation mails :) Still seems that sunday will be the day when all tickets have been sold :) ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.15 15:20:00 - [7] Been a slow day for ticket sales today, hoping it won't stay that way :( ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.15 23:35:00 - [8] looks around the room ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.16 18:44:00 - [9] Originally by: heruloka well i would have bought 2 more tickets but i got curious about courier missions and went to examine one and while i was trying to click view route my optical mouse had a hickup and it hit accept why dont they have a confirm box like they do on escrow ohh well consider this a free bump. i will be staying far from that courier mission tab for now on. Ouch! that sucks :( its not a mission you're able to complete? @Gavin Paradise: Thanks, I hope sales will pick up a bit, but atm it looks kinda bad though, but you never do know.. ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.17 16:29:00 - [10] Originally by: Delta2003 total tickets sold so far? 113 tickets have been sold now.. will send out confirmation mails and update the original post as soon as I've eaten :D 137 tickets are left for sale now ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.18 07:18:00 - [11] At the current rate of sales I'd guess the draw will take place around thursday next week, but then again, once there is few tickets left, it might speed up a bit.. I will not be able to log in until sunday night to update sales and send out confirmation mails. ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.20 07:34:00 - [12] Thank you all for the bumps, I really appreciate it :D And there is now 108 tickets left for sale, so the end is closing in. :D I will be ingame a little later today to send out the confirmation mails, got home very late last night, so I couldn't get around to it then. Also: I will be doing the draw in real time the following day after the last ticket has been sold. Channel you must join is: "X-Trans" feel free to drop in whenever you like :) You'll always find me there when I'm online (though I'm very often afk. hazards of the profession I guess) ;) ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.20 14:36:00 - [13] Confirmation mails sent. Still time to get a chance at winning these fine bpo's :D ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.20 19:07:00 - [14] no1 is interested anymore? ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.22 13:21:00 - [15] Originally by: Zoln bumpy bump Agreed :P No1 else wants a shot at winning from a cruiser bpo to a battleship bpo?? ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.22 20:12:00 - [16] Seems the ticket sales have come to a halt unfortunatly :( What does everyone that have bought tickets feel about clsoing this down in say a day or so and cut away a the battlecruiser bpo's? the bs bpo and the three cruiser bpo's should come to about what the tickets amount to. +- a few mill. Or the bs bpo and a bc bpo maybe? Let me know what you guys think :) And for the record, its not to late to get a ticket :P ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.22 21:14:00 - [17] Well, two things are certain then... 1. max two wins rule is hereby canceled and 2. As for the next lottery, less tickets and named prizes Also, for this lottery: if all tickets are sold and this thing go to the end, 15 tickets will be picked for a ticket refund ;) ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.23 13:11:00 - [18] still about 100 tickets left... haven't updated in a while. and the draw is once all tickets are sold. BUT if sales doesn't pick up in a day or two I'm cutting the draw short. ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.23 22:13:00 - [19] Originally by: Dragy bump, if you need to drop any of bpo's drop any you want but dont cut that bs bpo The bs bpo will most definatly stay :D no question about that :D Maybe the bs bpo, one bc and one cruiser? ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.24 10:03:00 - [20] Originally by: Tkotm Originally by: Asor c) reduce your margin by adding more prizes (by your own post, you admit that you are likely to make 500Mil+ from this one lotto - isn't this a bit greedy?). How about 30-40 winners get their entry money back? You're still getting a pretty sizeable profit... its why i wont take any ticket :/. This post doent help you to finish the lottery but at least take this like a Bump. Yeah, I can understand that, but my question is really: "why?" what I'm doing is offering a service, 99.5% of everything that goes on in eve is in one way or another related to increase one's wealth. Just take my profit here, I send out confirmation mails for every person that buys a ticket, I log and I update and I keep track.. so far I've spent two weeks on this lottery, and that makes my profit 250mill/week for a small to modest amount of work. Then you can compare it to t2 ship builders, they pay a little extra to get things delivered to them, set a build order, reply to mails, and make billions of profit on overpriced items. Just take the hulk for instance! dunno what the going price is now, but the last time I checked it was over 500mill. how much does this ship cost to make? I'm willing to bet less than 100mill (including the 30mill covetor they need) thats 400mill profit every day. Oh and don't confuse this with talking down on overpriced items, I love that the market acctually work in a supply/demand manner :D basicly what I'm saying, we all have goals, and we all have ways to make a profit. :) Personnaly I'm trying to raise 21billions so that I'm able to buy all the skills needed to fly every ship in the game :) and I'm really sorry that some might think that me making a profit on offering this service is a bad thing, but then again, I'm not forcing anyone to buy a ticket :D afterall, its you thats missing out on winning a 1billion bpo, not me ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.24 16:18:00 - [21] Originally by: Tkotm Im agree, we all have goals :). Yes the market actually work in supply/demand. And yes the T2 Market is overpriced but only because BPO is limited and 'hard' to have. For your lottery, its pretty hard to criticize, good organization, reactivy... And the best you are clear, you write in the first post how many isk you will win in this lottery. But 600M for a 2.5B Auction is too much to my mind. Maybe add 1 or 2 prices, you will win less isk but probably end this lottery sooner (i will help and take 10 tickets in this case). Still a good work here. Thank you, and I know that a lottery is a diffrent thing compared to the t2 bpo's, but its also a little bit more work, though some owners put alot of work in their sales and all honor to them :D And I do realise that I might have turned my profits up a little high, but as I am also against changeing rules after I start something (except from when it benefit my costumers) I'm hoping that the lottery will finish like it was planned. I have added that 15 tickets will be picked and the isk for those tickets will be returned as another 15 small "prizes", and the next lottery will hold probably a bs bpo and some "ticket return prizes" and alot less tickets to be sold. Originally by: coolneo can i have a confirmation email plz, 1 ticket bought yesterday ta I will log in after a shower and dinner and send out confirmation mails. the 10-15 last tickets sold have not recieved one yet as I have been pretty busy the last few days. ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.24 22:37:00 - [22] Confirmation mails sent out. And to let everyone know what the possibileties are with the current prizes: If you buy ten tickets, you can basicly (if you are extreeeeemly against all odds lucky) win ALL 6 prizes and on top of that with the new 15 tickets will get refunded prizes you can get all your tickets refunded Though I'm not even gonna begin calculating the chances for that to happend. Anyone thats good at math that wanna do that count? :D ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.25 07:24:00 - [23] Originally by: Matar Seb Oh my god. You, sir, are a genius. 250 tickets at 10M each = 2.5 billion. Return BPO cost total: 1.9Billion You can buy all the BPO's with the money from the round, and you profit like 300million at least. You don't need a single skill point to make 300Million every time the auction goes around. Well yeah, but skills aside, it took me over a year to build up the reputation I've recieved from the reference links you see at the bottom of the initial post, and still its hard to convince people that this is not rigged. I mean, I've had much more isk on my hands and made perhaps 20millions from transporting it when I could make 3 billions stealing it. On this I make a bigger profit and also in turn build my reputation as a honest person, so why would I rig the lottery? :) ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.25 13:13:00 - [24] Seems like the ticket sales are picking up a bit again, and 77 tickets are left now, so a draw with full range of prizes seems within grasp sometime mid next week possibly :D I can't wait to give out those bpo's! :D But I also wanna thanks everyone that have posted in my defence, but also the ones voicing your concerns. This lottery is in its initial stage, and there are flaws to be worked out and issues to be addressed :) Hopefully I can use all the information to make the next lottery a better one :D And I'm glad that every comment made both positive and negative has been a constructive one, and not just talking crap. I'm totaly open for constructive critisism as I belive it is a necessety to improve. With that said, how soon can we get them last 77 tickets sold? :D:D ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.25 17:32:00 - [25] Originally by: Tkotm I take 10 tickets :). Thanks :) glad you decided to buy tickets afterall :D ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.26 12:38:00 - [26] Under 50 tickets left now people :D Will be in a little later to update the correct numbers ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.26 21:21:00 - [27] I'm sorry for the late update today! I've been having network issues all day and have been unable to log on. Confirmation mails have been sent out, and there are now only 46 tickets left :D I can see the end closing in fast! :D ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.27 16:19:00 - [28] Bump of the day :) I will be in later tonight to send out confirmation mails to newly purchased tickets. there are now 43 tickets left for sale ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.27 22:15:00 - [29] 33 tickets left now, and I just realised I have not posted much about how the draw takes place, so let me take a few moments to write a little about that: As you all know, there are a few BPO's to be won and also a little cash to be refunded :D Every ticket you buy have a chance at winning all of the bpo's. BUT if you have 1 ticket that win one of the bpo's, that ticket will be removed from the draw of the rest of the bpo's. So in short: You can only win one bpo PER ticket. But if you have 10 tickets, you can run away with ALL bpo's if lady fortuna shines on your part of the galaxy on the eve of the draw ;) Then you have the 15 tickets that will win a refund: This draw is separate from the bpo draw, so if your ticket get refunded you can still win a bpo on that very same ticket. So if lady fortuna is in love with you, you can actually win all bpo's AND get all 100million refunded! Though I wouldn't bet on that to happend Chances of that would be maybe one in a gazillion! If that good! The draw will take place in the ingame channel "X-Trans" and the numbers will be picked by this randum number generator: Linkage ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
Xinity	Posted - 2006.02.28 07:17:00 - [30] Would be really great to sell out those 29 last tickets today ;) ---------- CEO - X-Trans ----------
