Sec and Sat's Lottery
Roll up, Roll up Take a ticket and spin the wheel of fortune
Ok there's no wheel but there are prizes.
Lottery info This week we are running 2 lotteries. The 1st ending on Wednesday 25th June will be our "free lottery" and will now have a set prize each week of 50m ISK to the winner. This lottery is for characters aged between 15 days and 2 months to help get them started in eve but also as a bit of fun too. Yes you did read right it's free.
We will also have a lottery on Saturday 28th June which will be a paid event and will have a prize of a Republic Fleet Firetail fitted with a Gistii A type MWD worth about 200 m in total and a second prize of 10m ISK. Tickets for this Saturdays lottery are 5 m each and all profits go towards the free lottery.
The lotteries will now also be 49 tickets rather than just 20 which means there are more slots available for players and also we can use a national lottery bonus ball as our means of drawing a winner, we will be using the first ball out as a means of choosing our runner up.
The total cumulative entry fees for the paid (Saturday) lotteries will come to more than the prize is worth. This is to fund the free lotteries which will predominantly be for younger characters of roughly 2 weeks - 2 months of age (preferably for newer players but we can't prove that some "young" alt characters won't be created just to attempt to gain from it).
Rules Sorry but there has to be rules or things could go a bit pear shaped fast.
1, The free lottery is open only to young characters between the ages of 15 days and 2 months (this will be verified before you are entered). This is in an attempt to allow new players to the game to benefit from this charity.
2, Tickets for the free lottery are restricted to 1 per person/character. Tickets for the paid lottery are not restricted, if someone wishes to buy all the tickets and pay over the odds for the prize then that's acceptable.
3, In the event that some tickets remain unsold we (the organisers) will judge whether the event will take place or if refunds are to be given. If it is decided that the event will still run and the winning ticket is an empty slot then the prize will rollover to the next week (double payout). Ticket prices will only reflect the cost of that weeks prize, and will not include the cost of the prize which has rolled over.
4, Donations are gladly accepted but will not increase the chances of winning. We won't be bought.
5, Entries must be placed before the end of downtime on the respective draw days. This is so we can check everything is right and that people have paid entrie fees/characters fall within the correct age range.
6, For entries to the paid lottery you must post here with the number/s you choose (asking for "any number" just means more work at our end) and send the entry fee to "The Rat Race" corporation stating "Lottery Entry Fee" (Yohohoho, the CEO is my alt. The Rat Race is my alt's corp, Sec will have an alt in that corp when he gets to a comp).
7, In the event of a mistake being made by us (the organisers) we will judge the severity of the mistake and make good any "cock ups" by compensating the wronged party at our discretion.
8, Once entries have been placed there will be no refund unless the lottery is cancelled due to low turnout (see rule 3)
9, Both lotteries will have the winning tickets picked from the bonus ball on the UK lotteries on those respective days. The runner up in the paid lottery will be chosen by the first ball out on the correspoding Saturday lottery.

Our rules are here to try and help sa***uard your investment and to protect us from being scammed. If there is anything you wish to add or discuss please feel free .
This is a chance for older more experienced pilots to give to a charitable fund for newer players to the game, and to maybe gain from the event if they win one of the prizes on offer.
Big THANK YOU's go out to all who have played and actually donated to this event.
This event is sponsored in part by The Rat Race Treausre Hunt (which will be returning soon).

Edited by: uoY delliK on 23/06/2008 17:23:57 Just so I understand
Originally by: Satrani Destiva worth about 200 m in total and a second prize of 10m ISK.
You're taking in 490m, and giving away 210m? While the prize, for the purchase seems worthwhile (200m for 10m) you making 290m profit for the "lottery" is kind of insane, in my humble opinion.
Obviously you're out to make money, and not this great kind person you're portraying yourself to be.

It helps if you read the OP properly
Originally by: Satrani Destiva Tickets for this Saturdays lottery are 5 m.
So we would be taking 49 x 5m which is 245m on the main lottery and paying out around 210m on that main lottery leaving 35m to go towards the free lottery. You'll notice there is a shortfall of 15m there which will be coming out of my and Securitas Protectors own pockets.
No there will be no money made by either of us in this event and we will even be paying out for this to happen.

Sorry, we do have to explain. We were planning on giving something worth more, but the Firetail was donated, and it seems fitting that these two go together. It seems every lottery gets the "scam!" stuff these days, but we aren't pocketing anything. Maybe we get a large sum back, but with the amount of money we'll be giving away, it might last 3 free lotteries, or 4, instead of 1 or 2....but rest assured we're not pocketing anything.

Based on the generosity Satrani has shown in the past, I have no problem with him/her (not sure :P) making a large profit from this lottery. I don't see what the big deal is, anyway. You pay a small amount with the chance to get far, far, more. What's the problem there? [11:47am] Ulviirala: my damn balls are bigger than these veldspar roids |

Just so as to make sure the wrong idea doesn't get spread around...if this "paying" lottery isn't successful we will go back to simply having only a free lottery. However, this presented a streamlined way of giving veteran players a way to donate with the possibility of a nice bonus, while allowing newer players to also receive some help.
So...all veteran players, we would be obliged if you participated...but it's not the end of the world if you don't. ;)
In brief: whether or not this is a success, we'll keep on giving.

Hmm... I thought there would be more subscribers to either of the lotteries, so, let me ask you guys out there,
is it because a firetail is not a very alluring prize?
Bump!

Well I'd have though the Gistii a type MWD alone would have pulled the punters in. What is suprising is the lack of takers for the free lottery. _

Thanks Gryph! You do so much work for us the thought of having you on the team has crossed my mind. More than once.
Keep on coming, all! We might delay the lottery and give it some more time if there aren't enough takers.

'Tis done my friend.
Tell your friends about the lotteries and get them to sign up too.
Good luck
Just as a side note, I have mailed Chribba with an idea about having him as a guarantor on the lotteries. Hope he replies. _

The free lottery is not full but will go ahead anyway. If the bonus ball coresponds to a vacant slot then the prize will roll over to next week.
Thanks to all who have entered _
