The new Site For Quick Microlotteries


We just launched the website and went into business, now trying to build up an awesome community!
Right at this time we're offering quick microlotteries and flash lotteries (comparable to blink's promo's). We'll be adding much more ships, items and other ways to play and have fun these coming weeks!
Our staff is very small at the moment, but we'll do our best to ensure your deposits and withdrawals are finished as fast as possible.

We'll gladly accept all kinds of suggestions on prizes, design solutions etc.

If you manage to find any bug and report it to us without exploiting it you might get something little in return. :)

The lottery website: State Lottery
Ingame chat channel: State Lottery


We will never do any RMT related nastiness, we're here to stay and follow CCP's rules closely.

Kevda1 gave me a good suggestion about registration, which I have implemented.

You're no longer required to enter your email when you register, all that's needed is being logged in to eve and registering using the ingame browser! (And a password of course, so you can easily access the site in your favorite out of game browser)

Hello, Kapten.

If I may, I'd like to provide you with another suggestion:

On your main page, when a user clicks the Buy! button to purchase a ticket, all your logic appears to be handled server-side. This means that clicking the button just to find out you can't buy tickets because you aren't logged in takes a full page refresh.

I'd recommend you look into moving some of your error checking and logic to the client-side (don't remove it fully from server-side, though, in case people have javascript turned off, for example). This would allow you to do a quick query to check if they're logged in or not before having to reload the page. You could also update the bought tickets through javascript to immediately update the ticket lists without having to refresh the page, and could periodically reload the data without a page refresh as well.

Would make the user experience a bit smoother.

Either way, good luck with your website!
