Monthly Lottery

XHaloplayaX · 05-7-2008, 11:23 AM

Once a month (most likely toward the end of the month) I will make a fourm called.
ex: April/2008 Lottery
The way you win the lottery is just like the powerball lottery. Make a three number guess, and then put a 4th number so it looks like this.
ex: 1,2,3 > 4
The first 3 numbers can be in any order but the last one must be correct, and it must be in that format.

I will be using dice to get my numbers so you guys know me not to be cheating, that also means your guess can be no higher then 6 for any given number.

Prizes = Subscriptions, or Credits. Most likely 6 month subbies, or 10,000 credits, depending on if i have money or credits that month.

Any sugestions and comments please place here, Thank you

I think that (like the powerball) you should also have prizes for coming close, but not getting all 4.....

I think prizes should be awarded for 4 numbers right, 3 numbers right and 2 numbers right. Obviously the 2 and 3 would be much less than the 4. But do we put the numbers in this post or in your seperate topics?

will this be free to users to enter? and what numbers are people allowed to pick from? just 0-9 x4?

well duh i cant make it not free acording to the rules, however donations would be accepted with very open arms, and i said in the rules im using dice to get the numbers so 1-6 x4

also I could award more prizes, but a 6 month subbie costs a bit to be giving every month so donations =

I hope you plan on giving out multiple prizes then.

Using 3 numbers>4th number, where the order of the three numbers doesn't matter, you come in at about a 1/216 chance of winning. For a 6 month subscription, I woudln't be at all surprised to see close to that many entrants, a lot of whom probably won't read the whole thread to make sure their combo hasn't already been taken by someone.

Or he could just give the prize to the first person with that number...

Great idea! Hope it all goes accordingly.

That would be the least expencive way to handle things, but less odds means less interest. 1/100 odds; Shure, why not.

1/1500 odds; Nah.
