Ladies and Gentlemen of EVE, The Eve Online Gambling Association (EOGA ū Its pronounced ęE-O-GAĘ) a is pleased to present its first gambling event in the form of the ęSuper DrawĘ and the ęSuper High Rollers DrawĘ lottery events.
This is the definitive high stakes lottery on EVE with guaranteed weekly wins for entrants.
What makes this lottery so different? - The jackpots are HUGE. - There will be exclusive entrants (each draw is limited to 103 entrants). - Because both draws focus on the super rich of EVE, this is an exclusive club. The money MUST go every week, which means someone (or some people) will always win. - I am looking to have this lottery publicly endorsed by E-ON, EVE admin and the team from CCP (it has not happened yet, but it is a future goal).
Who am I?
Well to begin with, this is an alt. There are two reasons for this, my mains are otherwise busy, but most importantly I wanted to start the corporation as a project for gambling in EVE, these lotteries are the beginning of that idea. Also, with regard to the lottery, having a fresh, unused toon with no other ties will make sorting the money out much easier for the time being.
How it works
There are 2 lotteries, the ęSuper DrawĘ and the ęSuper High Rollers DrawĘ. Both are weekly draws based on the results of the first 5 main numbers from the EuroMillions lotto draw (drawn Friday Nights GMT). - Links for the EuroMillions follows: http://www.national-lottery.co.uk/player/gaming/drawgame/displayEuroPlayslip.do and http://www.euro-millions.com/
Entrants will select 5 numbers from the main EuroMillions numbers board (ranging from 1-50)- NEITHER draw uses the ęlucky dipsĘ option in the EuroMillions. The winner(s) is the ticket that matches the most numbers (1-5) in any order. So, if one person has all 5 numbers, he/she wins. If two people match 5 numbers, they split the pot 50/50. If no one gets 5 numbers the pot will then be split between people with 4 numbers and so on.
The idea of these lotteries is that it is played by people/corporations/alliances with a lot of money. I personally suggest that individuals with a lot of money or small-medium corps play the Super Draw. The Super High Rollers Draw is for people/corps/alliances with seriously large wallets.
Jackpots (NB: All numbers are written in the ęLong ScaleĘ or ęTraditional BritishĘ versions, this is different from the standard US version (short scale).
- In the Super Draw the jackpot will max out at 10,000,000,000 ISK (yes thatĘs right - ten thousand million ISK!!)
- In the Super High Rollers Draw the jackpot will max out at 100,000,000,000 (Yes, one hundred thousand million!!!).
The important thing to remember is that ALL prize funds must go, every week - there will be no rollovers, and there is only 1 prize ū although it may be split between multiple winners.
Entrance and Costs
There is a maximum of 103 entrants per draw. This is worked on a first come first serve basis. If you miss the deadline you will automatically be placed into the next available draw- you will also be eve mailed telling you that you have missed the current weeks draw and will be placed into the next available draw, and when that draw is (you can ask for a refund at this point, and only at this point).
As the draws are on a Friday night (eve time) I will accept all tickets up to 11am EVE time on Friday (ie before the close). After that your ticket will be placed into the next weeks draw. Notification of the winner will be made by eve mail on the Monday morning (eve time) following the draw.

Edited by: Covert Wizard on 08/07/2008 01:55:22 For both draws, entrance will be a 2-stage process. You transfer me the entrance fee to my toons corporation- The Eve Online Gambling Association, (Ticker name: EOGA). When you transfer me the money, you put in the payment description theses items. 1) The Name of the draw you are entering (Either ęSuper DrawĘ or ęSuper High Rollers DrawĘ. 2) You put down your five numbers divided by decimal spaces, with 0Ęs in front of the 0-9 numbers. An example follows: - ęSuper DrawĘ. 03.19.27.31.50
When I have received payment for the necessary draw I will send an eve mail back to you repeating your numbers, and what draw you are in and the date of the draw. Once that mail has been sent you are officially in the draw. -If you donĘt get the mail within 24 hours please send me an eve mail saying so). This will be done during in the period before and after the close, Monday to Friday.
- The ticket prices for the Super Draw are 100,000,000isk per ticket (100 million isk). - The ticket prices for the Super High Rollers Draw is 1,000,000,000isk per ticket (1,000 million isk). Players can buy as many tickets as they like.
There is a minimum entrance of 2 players per draw (naturally one draw can go ahead if the other is not running). In terms of the total costs etc. my take is always 3%, up to a maximum of either 300 million or 3,000 million (draw dependant). So if there were a full subscription on the Super Draw I would keep 300million, and the jackpot would be 10,000 million. If there were 10 people in the Super Draw then I would keep 30 million and the pot would be 970 million.
Up and Coming
In the near future I will be looking for endorsement from CCP, the EVE admin team and also E-ON (maybe even a member of the new Council of Stellar Management). This is for two reasons; first it will increase the wider knowledge of the draw and keep the jackpots high, the second is to try and infer credibility to the draw so that it becomes widely known that it is a legitimate draw, and not a scam.
I am hoping to develop a web site soon in which I can publish a list of the winning numbers, who won and also a list of entrants for upcoming draws (this will make it easier to see who is in what draw and how full each draw is) and also give out information on pot sizes etc. It will also help to flag up any problems with regard to numbers not being correct/in the right draw etc.
I may try and arrange for a chat channel for the draw, but this would merely serve as a social forum and an additional means of contacting me.
Scams
Well this issue has to be raised. I can only give you my word that this is not a scam, and (providing the draws become popular) there will be regular weekly events for a long time to come. All I will say is you always have the option of not playing if you think it is a scam. Hopefully in time word of mouth will spread and the legitimacy of these draws will become known. I am hoping to seek the endorsement of several members of the EVE team (developers, E-ON, admin etc), if and when I can secure such endorsement then that will unequivocally prove my sincerity.
On your part- If you try to scam me, well so be it. But the only way you can really do it is by not putting the necessary number of 0Ęs on the end of your payment slip. If this happens then you will be politely notified by mail to address the issue, then you will be warned a second time to rectify the issue. If you have not still resolved the imbalance by the time the draw is made then you will loose your money, and I will keep it. If however you simply miss getting in touch with me before the draw date then (on payment of the balance) I will be happy to put u in the next available draw.
When Do The Draws Start?
When Do The Draws Start?
The first draw will be Friday 18th July 2008, entrances for that draw will begin this coming Monday ū Monday 14th July 2008.

with stakes this high, you might wanna hire a 3rd party to escrow the isk ..... 'just trust me' works for alot of lotteries, but im not sure even highrollers will send billions to an alt of an unknown person
anyway, 100mil is just out of my range, gl!

I asked Chribba to act as a guarantor on our lotteries but he didn't seem interested due to the work load involved so I'm not sure if you'll have the same response.
Perhaps contact Ricdic aswel as I think he has something to do with EVE bank (could be wrong on that) and he might be interested in your idea. _ Sec & Sat's Lottery |

Happy to do this.
We can set up a character held by EBANK (myself specifically) with full API access for the OP. He can update lists / numbers etc for his lottery with ease.
Alternatively allow the API to be fully viewable by all so people can see their isk deposits and the numbers assigned "in description field"
Anyway, there are a few ways this can be done, pop me an evemail ingame, I will be bouncing in and out over the next 15 hours so happy to chat.

Please don't say this as it is definetly not the case. We haven't set a single thing up yet, there is zero security at this point. I haven't even spoken to you in game yet.
Once we officially endorse the project a new set of rules will come out stating precisely how things will happen (namely, that funds will be transferred to a character under 'my' ownership).
So I advise that no-one send any funds at this point until the new structure has been determined and I have advised everyone as such
