Sorry for that guy who got bit by a dog scammer who grabbed onto a well run outfit like Somer Blink. I suggest next time you check out what a promo code really means.

Anyone who has questions about Somer Blink can log onto the channel "SOMER Lotteries" and get the real story.

Frankly, I was hesitant - this is eve and Somer is player run - so I went in with almost nothing and watched for a while to see how it all worked before I ever placed a single ISK in jeopardy. They have so many things going on. Somehow, tokens get built up, thousands of them and several times a day, maybe even hourly - it varies - they have a "Promo" go up which may have a Moros, or a mach or a titan skillbook as the prize and it costs you one token to buy the one ticket you can buy and around 200 ppl have a chance at getting the random number generated ticket. The winning ticket number is generated by third party "Random number .com" I believe it is called - which provides numbers for a wide array of internet activities which need impartial thrid party number generation.

The staff is very helpful in the channel I mentioned above.

They have a feature called "awards" where you win bonus ISK for meeting the requirement for the award. such as " recurring nightmare" where you get a bunch a millions for winning your fifth nightmare - which sounds a lot more difficulet than it is.

I am writing this from the in game browser and blink runs from there too. and because CCP's so wacky on their forums, I'm not changing back and forth to get the exact number of millions you get from the awards, but it ranges from 1 million to I think 1.5 billion - if that is how much 1500 millions equals.

. Most ships have It is gambling, more will lose than will win - but you control more of this gambling than you do on any of the continents in the world I've gambled on8 tickets and a good many of the blinks have 5 tickets totalling less than the amount Somer will buy the ship back for.

I keep the ships I win with one ticket and sell back the rest to Somer - I've increased my fleet by 86 ships but sold most of them, keeping 6 nightmares, 8 bhaals and 11 Machs which I all won for a single ticket for a rainy day. A single ticket on a nightmare is 78mil. There is a stats page which gives you information on the frequency of the recent winning numbers and that can be helpful if you believe in things like statistical probability. It does not just give you a few numbers but well enough to provide a database where the sample is large enough to provide rudimentary reliability.

But remember, it is gambling and no matter how many times you flip a coiin, the coin does not remember how it landed last time and does not care how it lands next time. Random number generators care even less than coins.

I wish these guys would buy out CCP.
