TornSoul	Posted - 2006.05.08 21:56:00 - [1] Edited by: TornSoul on 08/05/2006 22:05:59 Originally we had planned to "only" give away 3B ISK in cash prizes - 3B ISK seemed appropriate for a 3 year anniversary But then a sponsor offered to put in "a bit extra" - Which I was only happy to hear. Imagine my shock when I saw just how much that sponsor was going to add to the pot. All the ships in the prizelist (also the Main Prize) + and additional 2.5B ISK has been donated by this sponsor. I hereby offer my extreme gratitude to Cally from Eve Intergalactic Bank for this gracious gift. It's magnitude is simply unheard of in the history of EVE (to my knowledge), and is definatly a major contributor to making this the BIG Lottery 3 Year Anniversary round very special indeed. Who knows if we'll ever see such an absolutly huge BIG Lottery pot ever again. Maybe in a years time? [:-] Time will tell. For now I wish everyone the best of luck (if you buy tickets) in the BIG Lottery 3 Year Anniversary round. Good Luck.

TornSoul	Posted - 2006.05.08 21:56:00 - [2] Edited by: TornSoul on 08/05/2006 22:04:04 www.BIG-EVE.com The BIG Lottery 3 Year Anniversary 3 years ago the first ever BIG Lottery was held. (in release) The amazing price was one Vexor Cruiser + one cruiser skillpack. 38 EVE pilots took part, and bought tickets for 1,639,000 ISK. BIG added some extra ISK to make it a nice round sum of 5M ISK. The winner had the option of taking the ISK, or the Vexor + cruiser skillpack. The winner wisely chose the latter option (worth more) - Vexors where expensive back than [:-] The BIG Lottery has moved on a bit since then. Both with regards to number of participants (max beeing 5,202 in one round) and with regards to ticket income (max beeing 7,126,879,000 ISK in one round) and not least the size of prizes (max beeing around 3-4B in one round at a very rough guess) We naturally hope to beat all those numbers for this very special occation 3 years is a very long time - Unbelievable long really. 3 years of typing in tickets manually from the wallet (/me waves a stick at CCP) As of this writing theres 29156 records in the BIG Lottery database. Unbelievable... 78 of those belong to one very special person, I would like to 'honor' by mentioning here in the BIG Lottery 3 Year Anniversary post. Namely : Omber Zombie. Omber Zombie has played in each and every round of the BIG Lottery since the beginning. Hence the 78 entries And still hasnt won a thing... Now thats dedication - Thank you OZ Now, to give OZ (and everyone else , a reasonable chance of winning something in this the BIG Lottery 3 Year Anniversary round, we have piled up the number of prizes higher than ever before seen in the history of the BIG Lottery. Theres simply oodles and oodles of prizes, 2-3 times more than ever before seen in any round of the BIG Lottery. Not only is there more individual prizes than ever before, the total value of the prizes also far overshadows anything else ever before seen in the BIG Lottery. To value of the prizes for the BIG Lottery 3 Year Anniversary round is somewhere in between 6.5B and 7B ISK total - A bit depending on how much value you put on the main prize I prodly present you with the prize list for the BIG Lottery 3 Year Anniversary round Navy Issue Megathron 500M ISK 500M ISK 500M ISK 500M ISK 500M ISK 500M ISK 250M ISK 250M ISK 250M ISK 250M ISK 250M ISK 250M ISK 125M ISK 125M ISK 125M ISK 125M ISK 125M ISK 125M ISK 125M ISK 125M ISK Apocalypse Raven Megathron Tempest 25 individual prizes - Which will be drawn in reverse order (Y to A) on Monday, May 22nd in ingame channel "BIG Games" It's going to take all night BIG Lottery [u

QwaarJet	Posted - 2006.05.09 08:07:00 - [6] Guess I should start getting involved more often with these things, i've missed the crazyness of the lottery channel. "Hobbes, she stepped into the Perimter Of Wisdom.Run!"
Icek Villawrov	Posted - 2006.05.09 22:20:00 - [7] Will the ticket purchasing be the same? My signature has the anti-mod defense of insignificance!
Witchking	Posted - 2006.05.09 23:19:00 - [8] From the details on the Big Lottery web page, the rules are the same.... 1,000 ISK per ticket, maximum 5000 tickets per person. I usually only buy 100 tickets but i've maxed out to the full 5000 for this one... me likes the sound of a Navy Issue Megathron Wk.

Deja Thoris	Posted - 2006.05.10 21:07:00 - [11] I never do this but since it's a special occasion Congrats on the 3 years guys. Thats one heck of an achievement. Because I'm such a softie, if I win I'll give half the stuff to OZ (/me privately hopes it's the navymega so I can refine it to make a fair split mwhaha)

Cruz	Posted - 2006.05.11 00:14:00 - [19] Q: If you win prize y, are you excluded from winning the other prizes? .................
Stratoss	Posted - 2006.05.11 03:08:00 - [20] Does the winner of the ticket has to be online during the drawing of the lottery to be valid to receive the prize Or otherwise it'll be invalid and another winner will be picked? Sorry, first time participant in this lottery.

Omber Zombie	Posted - 2006.05.11 05:41:00 - [21] you don't need to be at the drawing to win - not sure on the exact stats, but i'd say most winners aren't at the drawings. As for multiple prize wins - i can't see why you couldn't win them all - you are buying multiple tickets, there are multiple prizes, don't see anything saying you are exempt from winning another prize if you've already won one. ----------------------
Seleene	Posted - 2006.05.11 06:20:00 - [22] OZ FOR PRESIDENTIAL LOTTERY WINNER!!! - History of the MC movie!

Alexis Gimixx	Posted - 2006.05.12 05:44:00 - [29] Maybe add a letter "*z. 5M ISK*" prize so OZ has better odds at winning... like a boobie prize and only OZ could win it. Anyways I am in for 5000 tickets as soon as the servers come back up. Congrats on the 3 years!
Freyya	Posted - 2006.05.12 07:24:00 - [30] Congrats Torn on a very succesfull event for 3 years...i hope the number of participants is higher than last round and especially the income so there is some leftover for the next couple of rounds..
