www.BIG-EVE.com
The BIG Lottery has turned 1 year old. Something we are rather proud of.
It's not many things in this ever changing world of ours that are left to stand 1 Year after it's birth.
That alone makes this occation special.
The BIG Lottery has had it's up and downs over time - Theres no denying that. Failing interest beeing the hardest to overcome, prompting us to find new ways of 'reviving' it, special events, and as of late, our 50M ISK guarantee.
We would also like to use this occation to thank the (few) sponsors who over time have taken an interest in using the BIG Lottery to promote their products/services. Without them - Our losses would unquestionably have been BIGger 
What furthermore makes this occation special - Is of course the very special prize we have this time around. Nothing less than an Imperial Issue Apocalypse.
This prize have kindly been donated to us by well known Gallente holoreel actress Martina Monterneux. The circumstances of the ship comming into her possession is due to the tragical death of her sister in the Elarel Pleasure Gardens massacre last month.
Her reasons for wanting to depart with such a special 'item' is her own. Suffice to say, strong personal reasons are involved. This almost goes without saying of course - As, what other than that would make anyone want to depart with such a unique item.
As this round in itself is special (1 year anniversary), and that we furthermore have a very special prize, it would not be complete without special rules as well.
Special rules for the BIG Lottery 1 Year Anniversary round (#27): 1) Each citizen of EVE is restricted to buying a maximum of 1000 tickets, for a total of 1,000,000 ISK 2) Additional tickets bought will *not* count on the day of the drawing (your ISK will not be lost however - see 3) 3) As we expect the 1 Year anniversary round of the BIG Lottery to become hugely popular due to the prize at offer the total pot size risk ending up 'out-shining' the the main prize itself. In honor of Martina Monterneux's late sister Gloria Monterneux we do not wish this to happen. As such - the ISK pot itself will be moved/added to the next round of the BIG Lottery (#28)
The implication of this is - That should you (somehow) have happened to buy more than the allowed 1000 tickets, all is not lost - As you'll simply automatically get entered into the next round (#28) for the full amount, for a chance of winning the ISK pot of that round.
To clarify: If only two people have bought tickets for round #27, and person A has bought 1000 tickets (1M ISK) and person B has bought 2000 tickets (2M) the following will happen. In round #27 each of the two persons will have a 50% of winning the Imperial Issue Apocalypse. Person B's last 1000 tickets are simply disregarded. In round #28 on the otherhand, person A will have a 33% chance of winning the ISK pot, while person B will have a 66% chance of winning it.
4) Although BIG has never utilized our right (according to the rules) to take our 10% administration fee, we on the other hand, have never declared that we would not, until the round had ended. This time we declare beforehand, that we will not take our 10% administration fee for the rounds #27 (which would be impossiblw regardless) and round #28.
5) All other standard rules apply (Notably that no BIGuns are allowed to enter the lottery)
So there you have it : By only buying tickets in the BIG Lottery 1 year anniversary round (#27) you actually get *two* chances of winning BIG  In round #27 you get the chance of getting the Imperial Issue Apocalypse and in round #28 you get the chance of running away with the *combined* sum of ISK put into the BIG Lottery pot, for rounds #27 and #28 - A sum I'm sure will beat any previous BIG Lottery records by far.
Remember the drawing of the new, the 27th, round of the BIG Lottery is on monday May 24th 1800 EVE time (GMT) in ingame channel 'BIG Games'.
Good Luck. BIG Lottery

ouch i sent 10 m isk
Rules 1) You can buy more than one ticket. You can do this with one deposit (say 5K ISK) or multiple purchases. 2) Tickets bought will not be refundable. 3) If you pay in 1,400 ISK, the 400 ISK will be treated as a "donation" to BIG, and will not be refundable If you later pay in 1,600 ISK the 600 will again be treated as a donation. So you only get 2 tickets - and not 3 as if you had payed 3K at once. Any amounts below 1,000 ISK, ie. 567 ISK, will also be treated as a donation. 4) BIG will keep 10% of the deposited ISK - the rest will be payed out as prize money. 5) BIG will only pay out as much in prize money as have been deposited into the lottery via ticket sales (minus the 10%) 6) Mails send to BIG Games will most likely go unread and not be answered. Mails requiring the CSPA charge of 100 ISK, because you have not added BIG Games to you addresbook will never be answered. 7) No member of BIG is allowed to participate in the lottery

/me still thinks it's horrible that CCP would give out such a special item for a lottery, that Amarrian pilots went through hell to EARN in the Amarr Championships. If they wanted to give out some kind of special prize, it could at most have been a GFTL luxury ship that ISD people fly in events.
Nonetheless I'm entering the contest in hopes of keeping it out of the hands of a noob. ______________

I still really don't like the idea of a Imp Apoc being put into a Lottery. Next thing they do is to give away Gold Magnate BPOs.
Anyway i'll enter the Lottery with 1 mil, if i win i'll self destruct the ship to honor the past, when ccp had a clue what roleplay is.

If you read the rules there is an explenation. Only 1000 tickets is entered for the BS draw. And 2000 tickets is entered for the ISK draw if he sent 2m

Ok the imperial Apoc is not really that good...b4 u think WT* is he talking about let me explain
20 radar str?? big deal most scorpion run 5 multispecs so if u got 1 rad or 20 radar makes little diffrence yoru still going to be flying an limp noodle.
4500 sheilds?? Raven is still better
extra 50 cpu?? well big woopdy doo its not going to make a huge diffrence
Laser??? still worse then hybrids and projectile
only 2 good things about this silver piece of junk .
1. 8 low slots...even i have to bow down to this. 2. Uber armour.
Bottom line??
1 V 1 against a scorp with 5 multispecs 1 mwd 2 warp disruptors = dead imperial apoc which is the same as about 60mil isk vs about 1 billion isk for the estimated price of the imp apoc.
make up your own mind ladies and gentlemen.

Yawn shows how much you know about pvp, you dont enter pvp with backup arrays and warp core stabs nor assume your enemy does. 1 back up array and 2 stabs should fubrar the 5 multispec setup...
Also a scorp cant even deal enough dmg to kill it if it uses it last 6 low slots for armor tanking/relays... -------- -The only real drug problem is scoring real good drugs

I am in VOTF and PvP everynight so lets just clear up your opinion of weather i know anything about pvp or not.
No most ppl dont use warp core stabilizers in ballte b/c they are a waste of low sots b/c u usualy get tackeld by multiple frigates making anything less then 3-4 warp core stabs in your low slots usless. I Know this b/c i love tackling and have caught many battleships and held them up long enough for the rest of the CA ganksquad to warp to me to take them down.
Most people dont use backup arrays either b/c alot of scorp pilots favour dampners so once again its a waste of low slots.
You are correct though in saying that perhaps the scorpion wont be able to dish out enough dmg to take down the apoc but it goes for any APoc it doesnt need to be the imperial apoc its kind of a stale mate at best and if this is the best that the Ammarians can do against a tier 1 battleships then its pretty weak.
most pilots go for cirtain setups in there low slots
either full damage modifications like 3-4 gyro2's mag vortex 2's and a couple power cap relays or just fill your low slots with 7 power relays for sheild tanking with cap recharge.
Perhaps u may correct me but these are my observations in PvP.

No that is not a requirement. We have all the participating citizens names and the ticket numbers they entered with.
We do however encourage everyone playing to show up for the drawing, as the drawing itself involves participation from the people who attend in the in-game channel "BIG Games".

Well, BIG has given permission for DUI to do whatever we want with the Apocalypse if we win, so if we do, DUI will be giving out the Apocalypse as 1st prize in a future DUI race.

Why did you need permission? Once you win it you can do whatever you'd like, toilet paper, paper weight, you could even learn to fit an Apoc properly and kick some ass with it (I do hope it gets used). _________________________________________________________

an extra 50 cpu is a godsend. So are the extra 4 points for RADAR. That's like an extra low slot for pvp. And of course, the armor bonus is gravy. Seems like a damn fine pvp ship to me.

the way it works is approximately this: everyone is assigned a bunch of numbers, based on how many tickets they bought. so i might have number 5000 to 6000 out of say 100,000 tickets sold. a random number is also used, not sure how big this one can be, but id guess from about 50-100, call this number x - people are not told this number. Then the people in the BIG games channel each say a number, between about 10k and 100k. the first x of these numbers yelled out are added together. say we get 605346 as our number. the tickets are then counted through, going back to the beggineing when it reaches the end. effectively, you realise that 100k fitts into 605346 6 times, and decrease it to 5346. Then you see who has ticket number 5346, and they win.
thats a long way of putting it, but i felt an example might be a good idea, since we're going to have a lot of people who havent played hte lottery before taking part in this one :)

incidently, given that it appears the prize for the following draw is going to be MASSIVE, i'd like to suggest to BIG that they split the prize, maybe into 100mil blocks or so, to allow more people to get some winnings.

Kinda curious as to how many people are taking advantage of this.
Most people I've talked to online have submitted the max ammounts. 1mil isk = 1k tix
I keep checking the BIG website for updated numbers but haven't seen any.

seriously, i think you should consider splitting it up and having multiple winners for the following draw (on the 8th of june or whatever). Would make for a lot more happy people. i mean really, is someone who wins 1.5 bill off you gonna be 6 times as grateful and happy as someone who won 250mill or so?? remember, its only going to get bigger. might easily be up to 5bill or more by the time the 8th june comes along.... is it worth giving all of that to one player??

I hope there is a great deal of hurrah for the winner(s) of this and the next lottery. It will be quite an event.
Also, I couldn't find a page on the BIG Games, website listing winners. It would be nice to see what the prize was for each lottery in the past and the name of the player who one (unless they choose a low profile). It would both tantalize us gamblers and give a sense of security.
While splitting up the monetary lottery would be nice... How cool would it be to be a multi-billionare in EVE!!!!

Since the ISK pot is arguably worth more than the Apoc itself why not have it only available for people who send +1 mil to the Apoc drawing?, this would perhaps give a better chance to advanced players while eriching the pot.

You know, as much as I would like to say, split up the lottery so there is more chance of me winning, I think the pay out of 1.5+ Billion isk to one person would just be awe inspiring.
Imagine how they would feel, and on top of that, you set the bar for a lottery prize (although the downside is that it is unlikely you would exceed that pay-out until you raffle out another unique item.
At any rate, this is going to be good.
Taken from the May 29th 2003 Devchat at EveGate . <Muaddid> Q: When will sentry gun and station and similar construction pods be introduced on the market? <Hellmar> we have various player owned entities already implemented. Sentry guns, power/shield generators, field repair mini-stations, mobile refineries. We are still working out the last tidbits of how they can be over taken, what is the penalty of having a sentry gun kill a n00b etc. and we have been a bit busy with plugging the holes that people have found.I would say that you'd start to see these items on the market in about 2-3 weeks, very expensive to begin with |

Edited by: Ceverus on 14/05/2004 11:45:43 Nothing personal here but, from what I observed in the last lottery, tickets are picked by numbers etc and this guy has 2000 tickets actually listed as if you look at before and after there is 2k of numbers. So this would mean when we do drawing so far everyone after him is off by 1000. Might be worthwhile to get it fixed before hand rather then after.

Ceverus - You are correct.
I'm currently halfway (or so) getting the code updated for that page - so that ppl (and there are several) with more than 1000 tickets dont get their 1000+ tickets entered into the drawing for the imp apoc.
But - So little time and so much to do...

Corporate Raven has a nice sound to it. perhaps 6 turrets or even 7-8 missile slots, bigger shield, more powergrid/cpu, bigger cap.

My suggestion for the huge pot (and growing) is to have multiple drawings on that day, in 100 million increments. In other words, they do the regular random number generator, and that ticket holder gets 100 mil. They then do it again, and another ticket holder (or possibly the same person again) wins another 100 mil. And so on and so forth. This way we have a large pot, but lots of people get to win. This still favors people who bought more then the 1,000 tickets, as they have a better chance of getting a second or third 100 mil.

I'd agree with the split pot that be great. More people win the happier people are. Then again who wouldn't be happy to win that 2bil pot 
100, 150, 200, or a 250mil split pot would be grand (just a suggested ammount) Fear The Bunny

Just to clarify, if we assume the pot to be 1.5 billion, and 100 million increments, then there could be up to 15 different winners of 100 million each. If someone was very lucky or bought a lot of tickets, they could still end up w/ the whole 1.5 billion jackpot.

It's going to be a hell of a lot more than 1.5 billion though, if there are 2700 entrants right now like TornSoul said, there's 2.7 billion in the pot, and that's still gonna keep rising till the draw starts. If we did it in 100 million stages there'd be loads of winners, probably a bit too many...
maybe we could have 1st prize as the Apoc and 1 billion, 2nd prize 500 million, 3rd prize 250 million and 100 million for the remaining winners... ---------------------------

exactly matt. and i think youll get a lot more happier people if you give out multiple smaller spizes (maybe start at 250mil, and increase by 250mill for each one? so 250, 500, 750, 1bill, 1.25 bill, etc as far as you can, then when you cant increase the next one by 250million, just add whats left to the current one. This way you get multiple happy people, AND still get a big prize winner.)

I agree, let's assume a 4.5 billion isk pot here.
Extra prize: Imperial Apoc First prize: 2.5 billion isk 2x Second prize: 500 million 4x Third prize: 250 million
There's still two big winners: the extra prize and the first prize. 2.5 billion isk will not be matched anytime soon. And this makes several people happy at once without kiling off the suspense at wh will be getting the apoc or first prize, since none of the other prizes comes near the worth of the two top prizes.
But of course it's all up to Tornsoul...

In round 28 it should all go to 1 person. I don't think it's fair that just because something becomes overly popular for a round or two that you should all of a sudden change the rules.

Buy say 15,000 tickets now, 1000 tickets are entered in the Imperial Apocalypse draw on monday 24th, 15,000 tickets are entered in the following draw.

Originally by: Deathwing Edited by: Deathwing on 17/05/2004 10:37:44 Even though I dont play the lottery regularly cause i rarely have the cash to spare I'll play this one in the hopes that maybe the Imp Apoc will fall into the hands of an Amarr who will actually use the ship in battle and not just let it collect dust and then be auctioned off to the highest bidder like others in this galaxy
Any upstanding Minmatar would head to Amarr space, give the Emperor the bird, then Self Destruct, letting the particles rain on nearby Amarr stations. Free the slaves!
If you had real testicular fortatude like me, youd attack the emperor with the Imp Apoc insted of simply waving at him with your little finger then blowing up the ship and running away

Changing rules for a drawing after tickets have been bought is a big NONO... You promise to deliver something, people buy tickets for those rules and then you cant _just_ change them... 
What happens with the rest of the isk? Cmon dudes this is just shoddy :/ -------- -The only real drug problem is scoring real good drugs

Ok....and what about the other 2bil that's in the pot? That's a pretty large 10% that's being kept by BIG.

Official explanation needed pretty much now, TornSoul. If you're keeping the 2 bil without giving them out in the next round lots of people including me won't trust BIG anymore.

For news - checkout : (#28SE) BIG Games Newsletter : Giving away 1.75 Billion ISK
Edit : Only just saw all the new posts. Dont worry we arent keeping as much as 0.01 ISK  Read the above link - Where it's all explained, in loooong detail.
You really thought we'd keep it???  BIG Lottery
