You can see from the lottery page how much the pool is up to and how much time left etc. Its currently set for to run weekly. The base amount each week will be 500 tokens + whenever someone spends their tokens on something I'll might add that money into the lottery. You can buy multiple tickets, currently tickets cost 25 tokens each and you can buy up to 100 each drawing (2500 tokens dern that'd be alot).

PS: I won the first lottery but that was when it was in testing I swear :lol

what is up with this?? This was MY idea and you are taking credit for it?? :wtf :fu

not to sound like a spoilsport, but maybe there shuold be a way to limit the amount of tickets you can buy as you get richer and richer - otherwise theoreticaly you could just buy the whole thing - .... like maybe a ticket has to cost a certain percentage of your tokens or something, so the richer you are, the more you pay

oh and bulk buying sounds nice

i dont like the progressive rate pricing :lol

after you buy a ticket you can press F5 and ENTER over and over again if you want. It was originally setup so you can enter the number of tickets you want but Tim found a bug... he bought a few tickets - got charged for them - but only got 1 ticket. So I had to make it like this. Its currently set for a maximum of 100 tickets per user per drawing. The drawing is random I have no control over who wins. I'd be glad to lower the max tickets purchased if you like, but all you can win is 500 tokens + whats been put it. If you put in 2000 tokens to get a 50% chance at winning a 4500 pot then well... you've got a 50% chance of making someone who only bought a few, or one, ticket very rich. Personally I dont care if someone buys up 100 tickets for a better chance of winning.... it all equals out in the end... much more to loose if someone else wins.
