At first i thought it was a scam then i actually tried them out, won 50mill on my first milk money raffle with only having 1 ticket and doubled my money during the alliance tourny.

Brilliant idea will constantly use.

Thanks for your endorsement Quadra! As we've talked to more and more people, we think the most important thing we need to work on is explaining how you can play Monocle without a lot of ISK, and play in a sane fashion and still win!

Gratz on the 50m and hope you spread the word so we can get more people playing small and winning big!

Over half way through #plexi (where you can win up to 3 PLEX, many training implants and ISK). Milk Money proving so popular has made us release Big Milk Money early. A great lotto if you're looking to play for straight-up ISK Smile.

We will soon be releasing more of our #fotm (Flavour of the Month) lottos, centered around the AT-X ships! Keep your eyes peeled Bear.

Theme-A-Lotto Contest and Win ISK!


At Monocle Madness we like themed lottos, and we believe you do too! For that reason, we're opening up the brainstorming process to anyone who wants to make easy ISK. Suggest a really cool and unique theme for the lotto along with an appropriate and unique name, and if we like it we'll give you 5% of the total ticket sales on the lotto with that theme!


How to Win :

  • Suggest a theme on this thread. Include a basic theme for the lotto and a possible name for the lotto!
  • i.e.
    Theme: Frigates and Destroyers
    NAME : Chicken Nuggets and BBQ Sauce

  • Feel free to add additional details such as a Grand Prize and Prizes or how the distribution should go. This section is optional and completely at our discretion as to how we implement.

  • If we like your Theme and Name, we may not necessarily use your recommended prizes.

  • Check we haven't done it yet (look at archives).

  • If we use your theme, we'll pay you 5% from the total tickets sales of the lotto we use it on.
  • ~On a 2B lotto that's 100M for an idea!

  • Winners are decided by the MoMa team based on uniqueness and fun factor. Cool names, great ideas are the main factors. We will declare any winners in this thread. There is no limit to the number of winners and this contest will go on for an undetermined amount of time!


  • Rules and Disclaimers

  • First come, first serve: if two or more people suggest the same theme/lotto we'll pay out the first person to post the idea on this thread.
  • We won't choose any theme we've already published.
  • Updated List here : https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2005452#post2005452
  • If we use your theme for a series it is at our discretion for how long we continue the 5% prize after the first lotto.
  • We recommend you keep ideas to a reasonable ISK size in concept, this helps promote your lotto if you are chosen so that you can get your ISK even quicker!

  • Can't wait to hear your great ideas!

    first idea :-


    Theme - All Cov ops ships.


    Theme name - Shady Movers or Sneaky beaky or Covert ops collective.


    All ships that can fit covert ops cloak and warp cloaked.

    :)





    second idea
    :-

    Theme - cheap Gankers ships


    Theme name - One shot shoot an scoop


    All ships needed for a gank ie covops frig for fleet warp in, a gang of destroyers and finally a hauler (T2 cloaky maybe) to scoop the loots


    e.g. a set of covops frig prizes (all race types covered). sets of 6 or 8 thrashers (+ other race destroyers) prizes and a hauler (all race types again) prize for loot scoopin


    edit -- maybe add Tier 3 BC's to the prize list since they're used for ganking too.




    ok thinking cap will be on again later for more ideas ;p

    This is a totally great lotto,

    I've won prizes but haven't won big yet, maybe I will soon Big smile I know some lucky peeps that have won big tho.


    um so a theme idea.

    Theme = combat boosters (drugz)

    Theme name = Curly's Cravings.


    Prizes = simply combinations of combat boosters of various levels and isk cash, there's always large cash sums also involved with drugs right? Lol
