Still, most people here also realize that if they have a great idea for a lottery, they could possibly use it themselves ;)

On the other hand, there's also a lot whom do not mind sharing idea's.

I for one, would think it interesting to have a traditional lottery in EVE, that is, one where a monthly (or weekly) amount of credit is automatically subtracted, a winner (or multiple winners) selected, with a possibility of no winner at all (increasing the size of the jackpot!), and the money deposited on the winners account. It should require very little expenditure of effort, but since traditional lotteries seem to be effective, why could this not be.

What you could additionally do, for those people with little money, is offer half or quarter, maybe even a tenth part of a ticket (for a corresponding amount of money). That way, people can participate, but even if they win, they only recieve a corresponding amount of the jackpot (which means the jackpot stays big, or grows even bigger, which should make for more players next time around).

Might think of more things later, but this is the first that comes to mind. There are always great numbers of people willing to invest money in lotteries somehow, even though they are (or could be) actually worse than ponzi schemes :P

the old-style lotto with a roll-over is something i have not thought of to be honest. i like the idea and will give it some thought.

Any more suggestions :)?
