Posted by Administrator: medvedev - you've found it already, you mention it in post #18
Nice joke really. But I wanted to receive a serious answer. In that post I described the problem rather cleary. May be this game is not for each BRM member? Just let me know then, because I can't enter this game Perhaps I can't find the link but I don't think so.

It's a weekly draw. We have to make sure enough people are willing to buy tickets, otherwise it's just gonna be very few points in the prizepool every time.

heres my suggestion: offer an initial win of 5k or something. make the tickets 2 Mobpoints with 1 point to the prizepool only. maybe dont tell people upfront how many tickets got bought already (and how big the jackpot actually is already). next round all earned mobpoints over the initial 5000 will be the initial prizepool. if you earned less then 5k: make the tickets more expensive. or see it as promotion cost to get the game started =P
of course you should give people the statistics after the draw. (like 6000 people bouth 8000 tickets. total prize pool etc)
just an oppinion of course!
i hope this will be fun, even though usually im no lottery guy at all...

umarplus, I appreciate your input, but the game is pretty much finished already just need to test for bugs internally and allow some people to play around with it for some days before we "release it".
