That is a question being put to the test in the Dust 514 side of New Eden. Either this is a very clever market scam or the guy is just being downright evil.

Depending on whether you're a betting merc, the trade off in SP and equipment may be worth these prizes. However, this may be the burden of your spoils in the eyes of the general community.

Officer weapons are much more common in Dust than in EVE. You get them as random loot simply for doing a normal match sometimes. |

"You have a chance to buy my lottery, if you suicide with your rare gear." Basically what's being said. |

Given on my dust character I have some officer weapons and don't ever use them, it's pretty cheap really. |

I think what so interesting about the idea is that a player market hasn't been released yet for Dust 514. The new EP has talked about this being a priority (six months or less.) What the lottery organizer might be doing is simple market economics. Reduce supply to increase latter demand.
The Dust community really value Thales Sniper Riffles, and this lottery challenge is aimed directly at these weapons, providing the highest payout for their scrapping. |

Thale sniper rifles aren't as valued as you think. They are 'valued' for random games because you can sit back and snipe with them and get pretend scores. Basically you achieve some kills, but don't actually help your team win the game normally. |

Wolfman Scrambler Pistols, Kirn's Assault Riffles? |

I'm not sure, but I would point out there is a DUST subform and you'd probably get more relevant responses if you used it.

I wasn't getting particularly much response from that Subform on a similar topic. So I will restate the premise in the context of EVE. This is a point applicable to general discussion.
Would you destroy your rare ships and equipment for a lottery? |

It's a scam. I seriously doubt the pot is up to 50 trillion isk.

There is also a challenge for betraying your corporation and another for taking pictures of the corporate hierarchy.

So, the same as sniping on every single multiplayer FPS then, lol?

Alright to make it similar to the transaction window I would write it as 50,000,000 ISK (50 MIllion). We good? |

No rare items in dust is nothing, no special faction kills because there's not pve content. It's a lottery as is to get the items and there's no set rate for these items like a market. It's a generic mmo market where everything is a set price to buy and sell. In eve there are ships no longer available which stays in dock and equipment with really low drop rates |
