Lottery!!!

[KONG]

with 110 mil jackpot on euro millions this week its enspired me to suggest a lr lottery!

the idea: Tickets r 1 mil a pop. your then assigned a random number in the db.

every week a number is choosen and winner takes all! so if 34 tickets r bought then prize is 34 mil!

thoughts please, this is just a random idea and i havnt really thought it through so ideas for iprovements are more than welcome

if i had my way tickets would be 10 mila pop but this way i gives lower lvl players a chance get a decent bit of cash

i can setup an npc where you can pay 1mil to be added to a list. im not sure about assigning the numbers to people though.


what we could do is, ill set up the NPC, then people can buy tickets (you'll be limited to 1 ticket! due to the way the files work)

then during the Reboot i can stick the list into Excel in a random order - and make a forum post asking someone to choose a number between x and x the first post to choose a number will be the number I select from the list of players, then who ever that is on the list can win the prize

buuuuuut every lottery takes commission so im thinking 85% of the prize fund should be the winnings :P (then 15% gets taken out of the game )

Gd ideea..only 1 problem tho..LR has a low user count so if I play the lottery I mite be the only1 that week, and if i win I'd only win the amount of cash that I invested..so Im thinking the prize should be at least 150% or double

lol im sure more than 1 person would play the lottery i know i'd play it on my character even though i dont play that much :P


(id put the npc just inside the safezone so its nice and easy for people to play :P )

give the cash to the nearest mill tho... doubt some1 would want 29.995 mill might as well say 30

you could let people assign there own numbers.... give them a list of 20 numbers... .they pick 3

each one assigned with variables.

then continue as suggested with excel or a simple randomising prg could be made. cnt think whether it could b done in excel tho...

1 number = 0
2 numbers = 2:1
3 numbers = jackpot

wanted to keep as simple as posible really, no rollovers or multi numbers.

1 ticket per person, tbh number u get doesnt matter, even if 1st ticket is number 1 2nd ticket is number 2 and so on. long as winner is chosen randomly wont make a differnece
