Arilon Lottery - The Rules
created by: zifer
Arilon Lottery? Why have a Lottery?
I thought about a new kind of battle event a lot and figured out that it didn't mean a challenge to me anymore. It is very difficult to set up such an event and give everyone a fair chance, obivously at the end, the strongest will win anyway and all you did during the event was beating up others. Additionally some other players are already planing such or similar events so I wanted to do something new.
Lottery? do I have to fill out a lottery ticket?
Yes you do. The tickets can be bought for 25 coins. You choose 4 numbers out of 32 (1-32). everybody may buy only 1 ticket. Tickets are limited to 50 units, so hurry up! sometimes i also start some specialoffers for special occasions.
What do I win?
0 numbers right: 0c
1 number right: always 5c
2 numbers right: 7% of the pool (which will be shared by all winners!)
3 right numbers: 19% of the pool (which will be shared by all winners!)
4 right ones: Jackpot, 74% of the pool (wich will be shared as well by all winners!)
How do we recieve the pool? Where does it come from?
The first pool were coins from me and the money from the sold tickets. After each drawing i'll pay out the winners and the rest is the new startpool.This startpool and the money from the tickets again form the new pool together with prizes that were not claimed.
When, where and how will be the drawing?
I'll anounce it, even changed dates!
The drawing of the numbers will be performed by an incorruptible state - aproved lotto machine (macro -- thanks to Splash) in Lotteryhouse (1 east, 1 north of Towncentre)!
Where can i buy my ticket?
ask Zifer or Gilgamesh for tickets.
Yeah, i won. but where to get my price?
I'll announce the winner numbers IG and here after every drawing. Mostly i contact the winners myself IG, but if you don't come online to get your prize till next drawing, the money goes back into the pool.
EXCEPTION: you told me in ADVANCE that you are away for some time and i keep the win active.
What the hell is Ticket Roulette?
After some time i added a feature called Ticket Roulette (TR)
Every Ticket gets a number (1-50). After mainlottery, i draw 1 or more numbers from this 50 tickets and you have the chance to win an additional prize as shirts, armors, weapons ....
Prizes are different and most are rare, unique or very much demanded (and in this case most expensive). You can chose your number(s) but only if they are still avalaible. so buy quick your ticket... first has mor choice.
How works Lucky Loser?
Lucky Loser is a simple rule, where everybody who did not win anything (coins or items) has the chance to get his next Lottery Ticket for free.
After every drawing, all the Losers come into a pot. The drawn person has won his next Lottery Ticket and get announced on the Lottery scrolls.
The Lucky Loser also may buy a 2nd Ticket!
If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask me IG or write to me via mail. If someone feels like sponsoring the event she/he is more than welcome to do that. Her/his donation will be honored by mentioning the person sponsoring especially.
have fun playing,
Zifer
