njaguar you better be carefull about gambling laws, because the only way to get FG into the system is purchasing it/ winning it.

Nice idea but the chance to win is a lot to small.

If u think it over, every 42,840 attemps someone wins the pot.
That make an average pot of 3fg*42,840 = ~ 128.000 FG and no one can spend so much FG ^^

Just change the chance. But nice idea.

Well when like 124.194fg pot goes to someone it will go back to 1k fg and isn't inspirating much to play...
and atm is going 2fg to Paul 3Fg to pot for every ticked purchaced
to make this Lottery run more than 1 time smootly would be nice if every ticked purchased like 2fg to paul 2Fg to Current pot and 1fg to next pot..
so it will not start at 1k fg..

if pot goes up like 124k fg (what is posible) next pot would start at like 41k fg or something..
just like in irl lottery wink.gif
noone would play irl lottery if jackpot is 1000$ smile.gif

But people don't purchase gold to play in the lottery (or should we say, Raffle). I can prove that with gold logs.

Also, you cannot cash OUT the forum gold back into cash, which is also a sticking point.

I'm not too worried about it.

I think it would be more interesting to be able to see how many lottery tickets have been sold for that hour's lottery. i dont think this would give any sort of advantage, i just think it would be kinda neat to see, and i doubt it could be too hard to add that smile.gif

I would like to be able to purchase more than one ticket in 1 time.

Because in a few weeks my gold logos will be like a mile long with 5 fg "investments". wink.gif

So see how much numbers gold log desctription can handle, and add so we can buy that amount of tickets every time. smile.gif
Or add "tickets you have purchased last hour" or something beneath "tickets you have purchased so far".


I would be very pleased if this can be added. ph34r.gif

This is a somewhat good idea. No he would not be hit with gambling laws because this isnt money. But its a bad idea because of the fact that the "rich will get richer" because they will just keep trying until they win and make a profit.
