With the new lottery plugin there is much more to do than the basic lottery. Here are some suggests, you can come up with some yourself. Current lotto: 100r ticket price, 100r starting pot, 5 min people for draw, draws every 24 hours(if enough people) Poll lotteries: Big lotto: 500r ticket price, 0r starting pot, 10 min people for draw, every week (if enough people) Small lotto: 10r ticket price, 0 pot start, 5 min people for draw, draws every 12 hours (if enough people) Mega lotto: 5k ticket price, 1k pot start, 10 min people for draw, draws every week (if enough people) Classic lotto: xr ticket price, x*10r pot start, min x/10 people for draw, draws every 24 hours (if enough people), pot always stays the same price. Note: The pot increases by the ticket amount. So if the pot is 100r at start, it changes to 200r after the first person buys a ticket, 300 for the next, etc. If there are not enough people for the pot, it will be be drawn at a later date (not sure if it is the next time span or until there are enough people If you have any questions about the lottery you can post them here. If there is a decent amount of people that want to do a lottery it will be added with discussion (example if 8 people want the mega lotto we wouldn't get it as it needs 10 people to run, unless we discuss to change it up.)
This sounds awesome. Only 1 question, if you have a ticket and you are not online, can you still get the money if you win?
Mega lotto I'd be more keen for if it was 5k. A minimum of winning 110k is also pretty high, and would there be 10 people willing to put out 10k for a 10% chance of winning?
Would it be possible to put in mutiple tickets? Mabye upping the limit to 5 or 10 tickets per person.
I agree, 10k doesn't grow on trees in this game and I think that only a small percentage of the server could actually afford putting in 10k with only a 10% chance of winning. 5k sounds good, I'm going to say we go with the big lotto for now and see if that works. If it becomes really popular adding the Mega lotto would be a must. Just my thoughts
All look pretty cool. I noticed you dont have a 'main' set lottery, the main one just lets you type /lottery buy (tickets) whereas atm its /lottery buy shadecrest (tickets)
FYI, the way it is right now, you can farm money because of the starting pot. This would be a huge issue with the mega lotto (10k rupies every 2 days, with minimal effort) I also think that mega should be like 2.5-5k.
How? Drawn every week, minimum 10 entrants, unless you team up or have alts you can't farm. Although I do agree 5k is probably better and there isn't a need of a starting pot when the stakes are so high
changing to ticket price to 5k and pot start to 1k for mega lotto EDIT: also changed big lotto to 500r pot start to keep porportions. Should we get rid of starting pot in general?
I don't think you can do that, if you know how let me know EDIT: changed the name to basic, added new lotto idea to OP
added big lottery Big lotto: 500r ticket price, 0r starting pot, 10 min people for draw, every week (if enough people)
Questions; Can you set a main lottery? Can you let us buy more tickets for the first one? or make a cheap one which lets us buy more? Will this big lotto still take the 500r if less than 10 people are in, or does it refund you?
Not sure how to set a main lottery If I let people buy multiple tickets richer players would get an advantage, I would let ppl buy more than one ticket in the classic lotto though if that one is desired. If there are not 10 people it waits until the next week, if there are 10 people, it runs, if not it waits again.
I like the idea of the classic lotto. While the big and basic ones are cool, I'd like to see how the classic one would pan out.
