Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
Thought of a quick idea that might be good. I reckon once a week there should be a lottery draw, which you can win ALOT more money, but it only happens once a week. I think it should be like the rl lottery where you have to pick numbers to win, but maybe if you have less numbers ( say 3-4 ) to get right to win a nice prize .

Re: Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
So you want another form of the lottery jackpot that occurs more often? There are already enough forms of getting a lottery ticket. Each ticket you get has a chance of getting the jackpot. Depending on how Jason will code this new way (if he agrees to it), you may have the same probability of winning this "lottery draw" as to winning a lottery jackpot.
If you really want money so badly, I'll send you 5k the next time I get on.

i dont think he was asking for money.. no reason to be rude
and ya, i think his idea would be cool.. but maybe not win money, like maybe a gtr class car or maybe even a mrt

Tbh, i don't think that you should be able to get a GTR car or a MRT just for taking a ticket, but winning money sounds more reasonable. But over all i think its a good idea.

Re: Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
Reread it MINIz guy it doesn't say that it would be more often, I think he means that you would be able to get a ticket once a week and put (4) numbers down and if you get em all right you win something bigger than a normal jackpot.MINIz guy wrote:So you want another form of the lottery jackpot that occurs more often?
Read properly before you post a nasty, sarcastic and rude message next time.

Re: Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
i think it could be a good idea, and if u had to choose 4 numbers the chances of winning a very low, the chances of winning (if im right) are like 1 in 8999, depending on how many numbers can win. so the chances are that u wouldnt win as much as winning jackpot.

Re: Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
From what I can understand from that, there is a draw once a week. If a draw means that there is a winner, there will be a winner once a week which means it is often?samforey wrote:I reckon once a week there should be a lottery draw, which you can win ALOT more money, but it only happens once a week.

No it wouldn't occur more often, like a said once a week. Sorry but i wouldn't have used the word 'more' to replace 1.
How do you think it would be more probability, for one it happens once a week so there is less chance, and secondly you have to pick 4 numbers which makes it ALOT harder to get a jackpot.

I don't want to be picky, but it seems you can't post a positive comment on anything, it always seems sarcastic, or alike.

Re: Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
how would it be likely that u would win the lotto than the chances of getting a normal jackpot?
how often do people win lotto each week?
with 4 numbers it would be like strike in NZ, witch is 4 numbers on a ticket and the first 4 munbers drawn is 'strike' thats a prize of usually about 100k, but people dont win it for weeks at a time, so only about 20 -35 people win a year

Re: Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
What I think is .. if you are new to the server and win 100k through jackpot .. it's not fun cruising anymore.
The better cars you get the more boring it becomes.
The only thing I'd change on the lottery formula is the chance to win it .. it's too high chance to win for my taste.
Yesterday 2 guys went exactly the same time into the cash in and both got lottery lol.
And Nyamo said he won 6 jackpots one day .. I think it should be more like once every week and even that is a bit much.
IRL people get a jackpot not even once in 3 months.

Re: Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
^^ I agree, imho to many jackpots, less would be nice. About the idea of a really big jackpot: This should be only for
people who want to pay for it, lets say all pay 1000 to join, give their 6 numbers and the one that gets 4 of his
numbers drawn in german lottery ( 6 and one extra are drawn there [may be 3 and the extra is half jackpot then])
is the winner. This would be NO extra work for JJ and people could buy as much tickets as they like.
5 numbers hit is a bonus of 1000, 5+extra a bonus 5000 and all 6 a bonus of 10000 from each one played that week.
So lets do this once a week, draw is on saturdays at 7.00 pm GMT, one guy (german ? )collects all cash and pays out.

This is the sort of idea i was on about. Yet i think it should be done by insim. But, maybe somehow it could work with people.

Re: Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
imho, not to contradict anyone, I would givea lower price for the buying of tickets, because when new cruisers join CLC they will not want to chance their precious money in a highly unlikely-to-win lottery draw. Just my opinion.
But P V L i think the winnings idea you have come up with is AWESOME! Hope to see this addition on clc

Re: Improvement and/or addon for the lotto
No one will have to buy tickets, same with driftmeter ; some things are for the rich only.
But all people can take the chance to win a big amount if they like to.
The best on that idea is it will not be more money in CLC than before, just swome pay and some win.

good point, SOME people get jackpots alot in a short time, but thats not the case for others, some people dont get jackpots for months at a time.
