i saw CCP is promoting "The Big Lottery" in the feed in the launcher...

Is this a Lottery made by CCP? or some of its staff?

No and no

Reminds me of when they said some good things about SOMER blink, afterwards they ended up banning the founder of blink.

The BIG lottery has been around since release in 2003, and has been run by the same guy (TornSoul), pretty much every week, since it was started.

It's one of our oldest player initiatives in terms of events, and is hosted completely in game, using in game tools and wallets.

It's not endorsed by us in terms of us saying "this guy won't steal your ****", but as with many other long term player initiatives, we choose to advertise it because it's a solid, time proven service to the community Smile

Hope this answers your question!

Well, there's always the hope that some will ignore the answer Falcon gave and rant about it anyway. I was all ready for an entertaining tinfoil thread. Ah, well. *hoping*
