So are you saying that the 1st prize winner wont always be getting a quarter of a million dollars?

Well no, because if the high-money people start LOOSING the lottery to the low-money people then the server cash flow will eventually begin to shift.  Those low-money people will go spend their winnings, since they aren't used to having a lot of money, which will drop the total cash owned by players, thus lowering the amount that gets contributed to the lottery.

Yes.

Is  there going to be a cap on the lottery so that cannot happen?

Must... Not... Make... Smartass... Comments... Regarding... Ease... Of... Building... Auto... Farms...


Hey, at least with a lottery everyone has a chance to win.  Even a noob who only gets one ticket.

Yeah... my remark was a bit cynical.  But seriously, with the exception of the ethically questionable automatic farms, there's no better way to make money than by making or mining something of value and selling it.

A lottery is just luck... but it will still be fun to play!

We haven't made any decisions on lottery caps or anything of the sort.
We'll wait and see how it plays out - I suspect the first lottery will have had a much larger prize pool then the subsequent ones, since it is a new feature and all.

Personally, I am happy with how it played out, but we will discuss it and see if there are any reasons to make adjustments, and we'll update you on it.

I think it was fair though. 500 something K, winner got around 250k, and so on... I think it's fine. We'll just have to see like you said how it turns out in the future.

This might sound noobish so forgive me, but who do you pay? Optical?

You simply do /lottery buy <amount> , In amount you just put the amount of tickets you wanna buy. 10$ a ticket.
