Reals Incredible Infinite Incremental Lottery!

Hey Guys. I'd like to test a new Lottery version. Until now it was available to the german forums only - but i like
to give everybody a chance to win.

The page: http://dog-net.org/inc/

The System is quite simple: Depending on your spend amount, you'll get a chance on 50% of the current Jackpot.

Chance = Amount / Jackpot

The Chance can reach 50% at maximum.

Your amount is added to the jackpot before any payout is processed.

The complete game runs without a timelimit. You can play WHENEVER you like - the jackpot will never
change, unless somebody wins (decrease) or looses (increase).

Third Party?
There is NO thirdparty involved. However all the winning numbers are generated, using Chribba's Dice.
Also your tickets are allocated, using chribbas dice!

Payouts?
Payouts are usually processed 2-3 times per week. You can always have a look at the bottom of the side to see if you have any payouts open!

Rules:
- The jackot never gets reseted.
- The Lottery never ends*.
- Rules never change.
( - if the jackpot gets below a certain amount, i preserve the right to add some isk)

*unless i stop playing eve.

cheers,
realdognose

If you have any questions, poke me, or join channel RIIIL (triple I) ingame!

1.7 B in the Jackpot at the Moment!

(so that means for 17M you get the smallest chance that can be bought! Don't waste smaller amounts Cool )

Added random ticket distribution (via Chribbas Dice).

(this is beta, if anything goes wrong, i preserve the right to roll back and reimburse players)

ps.: Chribba allowed my the automated dicing, if it won't escalate. I limited the engine
to 200 dices (100 games) per day.Once we exceed that limit, i gota talk to chribba again ;)

Special with 60% Payout is over. From now on, the regular 50% are payed out!

Resolved a bug where a win was not detected.
Reimbursed latest game, because the jackpot was smaller than shown at that moment.

Remember:

There is no reset. No matter if the jackpot contains 200 Million or 50B - you ALWAYS get 50% in Case you Win!

turns out someone else sent isk to, so even though the site clearly said 25% for my isk it gave me 22% because his isk was added to jackpot after fact..

I have to admit, that you are the unluckiest player until now, without doubt.

I designed the complete system to be as transparent as possible, and that's why im - again - replying to your concerns.

1.) Jane was together in INIT. with me prior, yes. But since the tickets AND the winning number is generated with Chribbas dice - i can't manipulate the outcome of any game.

2.) I tried to describe this situation as clearly as i can. I'm not a native speaker and therefore sometimes may not find the right words, but as of the first post:

Quote:

NOTE:
Due to the limitation of api-fetches every 30 Minutes, i can not guarantee, that you get a 50% Chance, if you buy one!
(If one playes short time before you and looses, his amount will be added to the jackpot, and your amount wont be enough to buy 50%. If he wins, your amount would be to big, and you play like 2 or 3 games. - See game history for examples - they are listed "within the same round")


i think EVERYONE can understand that this not only applies for 50% chances, but for every chance.

In your certain example, the situation was the following:
You send 620M ISK while the Jackpot was at 2.56 B Isk. This should turn into a (620/2560) ~ 24% Chance.
Since there was another payment that has not yet been feteched by the API, but of course will be processed before your game, your chance has been different:

SlaveXxX send 255.68B and Lost - this increased the Jackpot to 2.81B and your 620M ISK NOW turned into a 620/2810 = 22% Chance.

But you also would have won 50% of 2.81 then, instead of 50% of 2.56.

There is NOTHING fishy about it. This is exactly the behaviour i described inside the notes. Games are processed exactly in the order the payments arrive.

Quote:

further more if 2 people play at same 30 minute api fetch and both win each person will get 50% OF the 50% prize, 1.4th the prize..


This is actually wrong. It behaves exactly the way payments are processed:
To give another small example:
Jackpot is at 100M and 2 people buying a 50% Chance for 50M within the same round (fetch).

Player 1 Wins, and therefore his payout is (100+50)/2 = 75M. 75M are remaining in the jackpot.

Now the second game is processed and the 50M would resolve to a Chance greater than 50%. (Jackpot is down to 75M)
Player 2 now gets a 50% for only 37,5M (with the Possibility to win 50% of 112,5M) and has 12,5M left for ANOTHER game. The remaining Amount again is processed as an usual game, resulting in a different chance, depending on wheter Player 2 wons with game 1 or not.

I have moved this thread to In-Game Events and Gatherings as per ruling of CCP Eterne on the location of Lottery threads.
Also because housing the Lottery threads is one of the purposes of the In-Game Events and Gatherings forum section.

I have posted a notification in Sell Orders about the move with a link to this thread.
