MONOCLE MADNESS' LOTTERY PLATFORM OPENS TO THE PUBLIC

Monocle Madness website now officially open. 100B+ Grand Prize ISK Lottery with thousands of smaller prizes launched alongside Alliance Tournament X live betting

Light Speed Interactive would like to introduce Monocle Madness (MoMa) to the Eve Online community. Created following a successful Alliance Tournament Betting platform last year [1], Monocle Madness brings a brand new lottery format and an automated betting platform to enterprising Capsuleers.

"Not only are we launching with one of Eve's biggest lotteries, we'll be supporting real time betting on the Alliance Tournament, for the second year in a row, " said Mr. Richard Galaxy. "Last year we handled more than 16 billion ISK over the whole tournament, and this year we want to smash that record"

MoMa will be hosting a channel dedicated to the tournament from start to finish. They will be taking bets and paying out immediately after each match has completed. Richard Galaxy added: "We believe that live events are more fun than automated systems. So we'll be doing both so we can handle larger volumes and enjoy the tournament together. "

"Capsuleers are tired of the small prizes -- they want something big, and we're here to deliver," said the CEO of Monocle Madness: Mr. Tony Two Bullet. "Along side the gambling, we will be keeping the lotteries running. If one closes, we'll open another with even better prizes."

When asked about how the lotteries would work, Mr. Tony Two Bullet explained:

"Monocle Madness' lottery philosophy is simple. We want to put out huge grand prizes supported by hundreds of smaller ones, giving you a high chance of winning. Our platform makes it easy for us to hand out hundreds, if not thousands of prizes and combine it with mega lotteries, effectively taking the micro and the mega and putting it together. Go out there and give us a try!"

in b4 everyone ;p


I've always been suspicious of these sort of things in the harsh Eve Online world but..

my corp mate threw a bunch of tickets at the first one and almost won everything, lucky f*****

you can see who he is on the winners list with the most prizes on the first lotto.


I'm taking part this time on the second lotto and all those that follow, whats a few mill for a few tickets for a good chance of a win i say ;p


Big smile fingers crossed for jackpot




I'll post in the future of my luck or lack of luck when each lotto is drawn ;)

Are the lottery results public? As in we can actually see the numbers chosen?

Thanks

As I believe it, you can see the results of each lottery on their front page, or archive page. I think they were planning on updating their thread with the major prize winners, but it's been locked :/

Hello Again. We don't currently release the "winning numbers" publically, but would you like to see them?

Because the ticket numbers are chosen at random when purchased, and the prizes are picked randomly, we felt that there wasn't a strong need to see the actual numbers.

However, if you'd like to see them let us know and we can see what we can work out!

We are working out unlocking our main official thread. This press release isn't our official thread, it was a press release that was done as part of our publicity campaign. We are hoping to work it out soon and be back in control of our official thread soon enough. Bear

Thanks for the reply and clarifying that point. I don't need to see the results, I have never participated in a lottery or raffle before, so was just curious on how that worked. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming lottery and can't wait for all the tickets to get sold!
