Is there anyway you can buy tickets for x amount of time until you run out of FG? Yea.. that sounds stupid let me rephrase this..

Say you have 200fg, you have enough Forum Gold to buy 50 tickets. Is there anyway you can set it so it just does it 1 ticket every hour? So say, after 25 tickets, Im at 100fg, but I go and trade a couple of things, and now I have 500fg. Now I have enough Forum Gold to buy 125 tickets.


Yea that prolly doesnt even make sense...



[EDIT]Grr... cant stop buying tickets.

Thanks Paul[/sarcasim]

sounds like a good idea, like automatic purchasing of tickets of set numbers or random

There's a problem with purchasing tickets for multiple drawings. It is possible for your number to be removed from the next drawing due to there being no winner.

USWestStaff pointed this out here.

Edit: Well, I guess I should have read the page before this. tongue.gif This was already mentioned to njaguar.

Yes, that would be the correct way to calculate the number of tickets sold... until someone wins. wink.gif

njaguar your formula is right but - The odds of winning with one ticket
purchased are 1 in 42,840 (Formula is 36*35*34 - Go ask a mathematician
are wrong after my calculations

i can show you the real number of 36

(my eng is not 2 good so hope you understand )

let
me explain this whit a norwigian lottery.. you must tip 7 right numbers
of 34 numbers to win first place ( if you pick this numbers
2-12-6-15-25-34-28 and then the winner numbers comes

2-6-12-15-25-28-34
you dont need to have them in a line , if 1 of the winner number are 12
you got 12 on your raffle/cupong you have a right number ) here the
chance of this lottery

34*33*32*31*30*29*29 /7/6/5/4/3/2/1 = 1 of 5379616

in this raffle you must have the right line to win here is the right calculations 2 show it

calculations
36*35*34/3/2/1 = 7140 * (36*36*36 =46656 numbers of lines you can have
on this raffle)
= 1 of 333,123,840 that will say this pot will be
1665619200 fg before someone wins

( i am 99% sure of this calculations are right )
