We used to do this in my LS a while back, and recently one of the members revived it (or tried to)..and I got to thinking. What if a real lottery was run like weekly, in which everyone buys a "ticket" and the host rolls a /random, and that is your ticket #. At the end of the week, a roll is made and whichever ticket is closest to that number wins the pot (or all the money collected for the tickets?)

Think about this, if 10 people enter with an entry of 10k, that's 100k pot every week... if 100 people were to enter, the pot is 1mil :shock:

Whoever hosts it though has a lot of responsibility to keep track of the ticket numbers and verify them with the people who enter, and of course, aren't allowed to enter themselves as that'd be too easy to kind of slip your number in and run off with the pot :P...

But yeah it was just some ideas I was thinking about, since everyone likes money and it'd be a fun thing to do or whatever. If there was enough interest in the idea I'd be willing to host it, but let me hear your thoughts on it.
 
Pupusa used to do a lottery for QCDN. He brought it back a couple weeks ago, but I don't think it's been done since then.
 
you can have 1 person host it... and everyone turns in their entry fee and send a tell with their # (0-100) instead.

then the host will do the /random




and the wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinner iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis...

I used to run a Lottery like this before, but now I really can't make the commitment like I used to to run it efficiently. I do have something planned for Christmas time though, but I stopped making the lotto a weekly event since I don't have the free time like I used to.
