How do I play?
Go to Hourly Lottery link on the top right (near Help).
You may choose your own numbers or have numbers randomly selected.
Once you have your numbers, press the "Purchase Lottery Ticket" button.

What is the purpose of the Hourly Lottery?
The Hourly Lottery is designed to be a fun way to win forum gold, and help remove excess forum gold from the system.

How much is a ticket?
Each ticket costs 5 FG and you may purhcase as many as you wish for each drawing.

How much does the pot increase for every ticket purchased?
The pot increases 3 FG for every ticket purchased. The other 2 FG goes to the site.

I matched all three numbers!!! But I didn't win!?
You must match all three numbers in the order they are drawn to win.

May we purchase more than one ticket per drawing?
You may purchase as many tickets as you can afford for each drawing.

If someone wins, what is the new pot value?
When a user wins the pot, the pot is reset to 1,000 FG.

What are the chances of winning?
You have a 1:42840 chance of winning the Hourly Lottery.

Those odds are not right, I did the math and there is a 1:x chance to win!
The odds are 1:42840. 36*35*34 = 42840
** Please note that this will be changing to 1 to 25, or 25*24*23 over the coming day or so.

Do I get a prize for matching two numbers?
You only recieve the pot if you match the three numbers exactly. njaguar has stated he may change this in the future.

Can someone choose the same numbers as me?
Yes, more than one person can have the same number.

What happens if two or more users win?
njaguar will personally deal with this situation by manually splitting the pot among winners.

Will njaguar add more features to the Hourly Lottery?
njaguar has said may add additional functionality to the Hourly Lottery once he is sure the current features work smoothly.

What does the text below my tickets purchased mean?
It means what it says. Every two hours, njaguar will take away a number, until all that is left is numbers 1 to 25. This will increase your chances to win.

What's this new "Buy this ticket for the next X raffle(s)?"
This allows you to automatically purchase the same numbers that you have up there now for the next X raffle(s), it automatically purchases the same number each raffle afterwards.
For instance, let's say your lucky numbers are 1,2,3 - so you pick these three numbers, and you want to purchase them for the next 24 raffles, you would put 24 in the text box, and it would automatically pre-purchase those numbers for the next 24 raffles!
