The BIG Lottery Round #131 5 Year Anniversary
5 years ago there where no lotteries in EVE. Today theres lots and lots of them (too many some would say)
One lottery started it all. And it was the only one for a very long time as well. The last year or two the amount of lotteries have exploded though. Most are one-off things, a few stay around for a few spins but disappear again.
The one lottery that started it all is however amazingly still around.
That one lottery is of course the BIG Lottery.
Today, almost to the date, the BIG Lottery can celebrate it's 5 year anniversary. For 5 years non-stop it's been possible to buy a ticket in the BIG Lottery whenever you felt like.
I must admit I'm immensely proud of this milestone. 5 years is such an unbelievable long amount of time, it's still hard to grasp it's actually real.
But here we are. Round #1 started on May 12th 2003, and we are now up to round #131. 52000+ individual purchases have been made (number of entries in the BIG Lottery DB) Thats a BIG number... Billions upon billions worth of prizes have been paid out. Well in excess of 100B ISK (probably close to 150B ISK)
It's amazing.
Naturally we want to mark the occasion with some BIG prizes The list of prizes is not yet complete, as negotiations with a sponsor is still ongoing. Unfortunatly it's not been possible to finalize the list in time for this post. I'll update the prizelist once I have the info - So don't forget to check back - You might be in for a BIG surprise.
The BIG Lottery 5 year anniversary prize list
1: 10B ISK 2: 5B ISK 3: 1B ISK 4: Daredevil 5: Daredevil
As mentioned, more will be added later, once I have the info from a sponsor
Ticket prizes are as always 1000 ISK per ticket. For the 5 year anniversary round we are raising the normal 10K ticket cap to 50K tickets (50M ISK total) per character. Send your ISK to "BIG Games", and remember if you send more than the 50M ISK max allowed, the excess will be treated as a donation! (and be greatly appriciated )
The BIG Lottery 5 year anniversary round runs from Monday, May 5th to Sunday, May 18th
The drawing will be held Monday, May 19th, 1800 EVE time (GMT) in ingame channel "BIG Games"
I wish everyone the best of luck!

I just bought 15 mil worth of tickets myself. I'm not greedy, everyone else can argue over 1st place, I'll settle for winning second.

How come on the receipts page, its only calculating 10,000,000 in tickets purchased and the rest of the funds sent showing up as a Donation ? I'm assuming this is just a glitch on the receipts page. |

Nothing wrong with your purchase Ergoth. Seems only people who sent more then 10m isk before TornSoul made changes to the cap number on the receipt page were effected.

It will always have Date - Amount - Donation, on the receipts page.
Date - Amount - Donation 2008/05/06 .15:53 - 20,000,000 ISK
Date: 2008/05/06 .15:53 Amount: 20,000,000 ISK Donation: empty ------------------
If yours was a donation it would look like:
Date - Amount - Donation 2008/05/06 .15:53 - 10,000,000 ISK - 10,000,000 ISK

Which is correct?
"The cap on tickets for round 131 is 50,000 tickets per char." "Round #131 rule : Max. 10,000 tickets per person, for a total of 10M ISK."
Cause you got both those on the lottery page... |
