Hey guys.
As some may know, I am leaving eve for a while as can be seen here. I have decided to have some fun before going (Ricdic and Ricdics are basically shut down) and with this character (who will also cease to exist on 10th November) I am running my first ever lottery, and the first ever player run t2 bpo lottery.
If I am mistaken and it isnt the first, I apologise but will rephrase. This will be the first ever player run t2 bpo lottery that has ZERO minimum entrants. For example, if only 1 ticket is sold, that person will win the lottery. I am doing this for fun, not necessarily to make any isk from it.
How will this work?
My method will be to archive and password protect a text file, holding a number between 1-100. (Randomly generated). People will then buy their tickets and provide their chosen number/s.
What happens if no-one gets the number
Now , this bpo must go, so in the event that no-one has the given number, the closest person either above or below said number, will be the winner.
What happens if more than one person gets the number or closest number?
In the event of this happening, those who have tied first will be asked to pick 1 new number each. They will then go into a Sudden Death Round, in which a second generated number will be available, with a completely different password protected archive that runs under the same setup
How do I know you won't enter the lottery and win back the bpo
You just have to trust me. I have and am still in control of billions of isk in various people's funds, through an investment, C-R-A shareholders, and C-R-A customers, as well as billions of my own isk.
Can you give me a decent guarantee?
Absolutely. With the acceptance of EMFi Manager, I would like him to be the one in possession of both of these archives, with the numbers already stored inside. I would also like him to be in possession of the bpo in question, so it can be distributed to the winner by him (to ensure I don't run with both etc).
Which god-damn bpo is it????
The BPO is an Inferno Javelin Torpedo BPO. It has some basic ME10, PL5 research on it I believe. Approximate value of this bpo is around 1.1 billion isk. The amount of tickets sold, is really up to the public and the lottery will go ahead regardless of whether there is 10 million or 10 billion in the pot.
When does the lottery finish?
The lottery will be drawn on 5th of November right after Eve Downtime. Basically, this is the time that the password to the first archive (that he is already holding) will be given to EMFi
Who do I give my money too?
Money is to be transferred to this character only. Please evemail this same character after payment to advise on the number/s you require based on payment amount. ie, lets say you buy 10 tickets, you would send 100 million isk, and then in an evemail you would say you want ie numbers x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x etc.
You will recieve a reply confirming this when I next log on.
You can also post here with your numbers if you choose, but that is up to you. I will provide updates every few days with the number of tickets in the pot, so people have an idea on their chances. The biggest reason for this, is that the lower guys now have the chance to get a t2 bpo. They don't need billions of isk to get it. If this all goes smoothly, I may even look at doing a few more lotteries with some of my other t2 bpo's.
Best of luck, and feel free to ask any questions

Dont forget that more than one person can have the same numbers. It just means that if there are multiple winners, they are moved to their own draw basically to determine who gets the win.
In the interests of full disclosure, I have not yet run the number randomiser thingy yet, nor set up the archives for EMFi (if he even accepts the job). If he doesnt accept, I will choose another trusted member of the community. I am at work now, so was unable to organise this in-game. But I will log on later today (around 3 hours after d/t) to set it all up and transfer the password protected files etc to the chosen trustee.
I will also request that the trustee post in here to verify he holds those archives and the bpo at the time. Insured Research and Production Services Queues |

Edited by: Ricdics on 29/10/2006 05:03:36 I will also be using the following site for the random number generations:
Click here to see
This will be rolled one time. The first and second number will determine the primary and secondary archives created, and a screenshot will be procured to verify this. This should be shown as an extra level of security, as the likelyhood of one roll achieving 2 numbers in that sequence, would take thousands if not hundreds of thousands of screen refreshes to emulate.
Obviously the issue of trust is still there either way. And of course, entrance to this competition by myself is not allowed, as that would be totally uncool. The trustee can enter if they choose, as the encrypted files will have very extreme passwords that would require a few years of brute force to *****
edit: The spreadsheet I will use to log all numbers requested will also be passed on to the trustee so he/she can confirm the winners once he/she accesses the encrypted files. Insured Research and Production Services Queues |

Just to quickly pounce on this, missed it before. There are not 100 tickets. There are an unlimited amount of tickets, just like the RL lottery. If multiple winners occur, they will go into the sudden death draw as explained above. There are just 100 different numbers you can choose from. Insured Research and Production Services Queues |

Passwords are *****able and if you didn't randomly generate the number, it's most likely a number that is mentally common. For example 37. It's less likely to be an extreme and it's fairly likely to be even.

If it was set up for 1 number picked 1 time, then I would go for it, but not if multiple people can get the same number.
the point is , that it can go both ways. Selling only 100 tickets would mean that the most I can get for the bpo is 1 billion isk. It would also mean someone could just send the 1b and automatically win. With the fact that I have no minium, it will be drawn regardless, poses as a risk.
My t2 bpo could end up only selling for 200 million isk. Due to the structure of the lottery (which works a similar way in RL) there is no limit, so I may sell 20 tickets and make 200m, or 200 tickets and make 2b. It is a risk, and risk vs rewards seems fair to me.
Face it, 10 million isk for a chance at a t2 bpo, is church change. Obviously, the more people buying tickets, the less chance for the win, but ultimately, you gotta be in it to win it, no difference to RL lottery  Insured Research and Production Services Queues |

Would you like to test that theory? If I use a 16 digit password with numbers/letters and a few ■ type keys, I would like to see people ***** it. If it can be done, I would love to know so I can think of something else, but I don't see this happening, nor do I see ie EMFi, going to the extents to even bother doing it.
Regarding your second point, I have posted a link to the random number generator. I am guessing you didnt see it. If you did and your point is still valid, please explain it in better detail.

All transfers up to date have been spreadsheet'ed, and all have recieved confirmation of their ticket purchase.
For the record, 26 tickets have thus far been sold. Some of them are numbers that others already have (not a problem, just means a second drawing if we land on that number)
I will take the above consideration into account and have a look around. While the NASDAQ is universal, I still get worried with those timebased things as it means me needing to be available at that specific time etcetc.
I will advise. In the meantime, I will upload the spreadsheet information (without the names) as numbers are taken, to give people another way to choose their tickets.

Good point but , can we not just assign 100 to a .00 result?
edit: scratch that, it would be too complicated when rounding up / down
due to the fact that no-one has chosen the lowest-highest numbers, I will have it so the numbers pool is from 00-99, and edit the top post with the new info

Who has what number is irrelevant. As I have said around 4 times so far. This is just like a RL lottery. Just because you pick number 39 doesnt mean someone else can't also pick number 39. It just means that the rewards are split in the event of the winning number being 39. In this case, due to the fact that a bpo can't be split, the following day will be a redraw based on the next working day's NASDAQ results.

I tried to read that part couple times and still failed to get it. The rules say winner-candinates will be using the same numbers in the next round. So, if 5 people have winning number 33, how the following day's NASDAQ can tell who of them won, if they all have the same number?
Of course, from my personal participation point of view, the most obvious playing strategy is to wait for the last report on requested numbers and buy a ticket after that..
Also, in case some future lottery holders might want to copy this lottery, it does not seem to be tamper free. Should the OP want, he could tweak the odds greatly in his favour. That is, in his non-public books he marks each number reserved for his alt (or, just the winning number after the draw) -> the alt has guaranteed access to the second round for the BPO.

Sorry that is an excellent question, and I didnt think of that. Multiple winners will get to pick new numbers for the upcoming draw. Thanks for pointing that out. If multiple winners dont respond by Monday start of business, random number generator will be used to determine their new number. Gives them 2 days to respond upon my contacting them

Sure, but still runs the risk of not getting the chance in the second draw. Either way, the numbers will be updated to advise which numbers have been taken. This can be found on page 1 and will be updated as above when I get back home.

Nope this is incorrect, as of 00:00 eve time on the 4th (approx 20 hours before close of business on NASDAQ) no further applicants will be accepted and a copy of the spreadsheet will be sent to Erfnam, so he can in fact verify that there are no suss additions
Thanks for the post mate, you definetly found a few holes. It is my first lottery so it was bound to happen.
Cheers

Ok here is the update :
74 tickets thus far have been sold. All in-game and out-of-game information has been updated.
Want to see which numbers still have no-one betting on? Look no further than right here
This will be kept updated over the last couple of days. Those who haven't gotten in, I suggest you don't waste too much time, or else you will miss this t2 bpo for good. If you guys haven't noticed, t2 bpo's will never be reseeded again, so the originals will always hold a rare value. Profit may decrease a little after Kali, but the bpo value will always be high.

Not directly, however they have said that in the future t2 bpo's will no longer be seeded through the lottery setup. Apparently somehow invention will allow people to utilise their built up RnD points to get bpc's of t2 crap.
And yep, will update spread when I get home.

Ok here is the latest update :
94 tickets thus far have been sold. All in-game and out-of-game information has been updated and the spreadsheet now shows the numbers correctly.
Want to see which numbers still have no-one betting on? Look no further than right here
Ok. I live in Australia and wasnt sure on all the times etc, so I enlisted in the help of the EGSEx channel. After a long time we figured out that the NASDAQ closes at 4pm on Friday 03 November. This equates to 21:00 Eve Time.
Initially I advised I would stop all tickets from 00:00 eve time, but this seems pointless, as the main issue is stopping it at start of business. The stock market opens at 9:30am, so I will not be allowing any further tickets as of 9am on Friday. This equates to 14:00 eve time that no further tickets will be accepted
So:
Winner will be known as of 21:00 Eve Time on Friday
Tickets will no longer be available as of 14:00 Eve Time on Friday
This gives 22 hours until this lottery becomes locked down, and a copy of the spreadsheet publicised along with ticket purchasee's names, to ensure no tampering can be done.

Update:
108 tickets have thus far been sold in the lottery. Those waiting until the end to pick up their numbers, the time is now. We now have approximately 9 hours before tickets will become unavailable and all entries will be locked down for 9 hours pending the results.
Who else can provide you a t2 bpo for 10 million isk? Get in now before it's too late, you may never see a lottery as unique as this again. (Plus, the bpo is worth more than the current total of tickets sold, but will still go to the winner regardless)

Update:
2 Hours remain whilst tickets can be purchased.
113 tickets have been sold, all have been updated on the spreadsheet.
Once the entries have been finalised in 2 hours, I will publish the spreadsheet with names and numbers, so people can copy this and use as verification of the winner, so they can be assured that there has been no tampering.
Could I please request that some/all of you with a vested interest in this lottery, make a copy of the site that will be listing that spreadsheet, so you can verify that the contents have not changed during NASDAQ online period.
So this, is a final call, 2 hours remaining until no more ticket sales will be accepted. Best of luck to all

Edited by: Researching Princess on 03/11/2006 18:16:18 NASDAQ closes at 21:00 eve time (just under 3 hours from now)
This is when the winner will be known (or redraw if applicable)
Some final information. Firstly, here is the results page, that shows all the numbers in pure form, to ensure there is no fiddling with the books. It is all publicised, as above I suggest a few of you save the page to confirm the results come the end of the lottery.
Here is the results page
I won't be here in 3 hours, but should be here in around 6 hours to congratulate the winner. Best of luck all 
edit. Adding the guide as to what to look for at www.nasdaq.com. If you want to see the section you need to check in three hours, please use This Link as a guide.

I'm not sure I understand. How exactly did you win? EDIT: I do understand now. NASDAQ hasn't closed yet, the winner isn't announced until that happens.
