If you want to do something like this, your best bet is to charge a small % fee for each ticket. Let's say 5%. So each of the 10 people would give you 10,500pp and you would end up keeping 5k at the end. The winner takes 100k.

You should probably just keep 0% of the cut to build reputation first, and then start moving onto bigger deals and start cutting yourself in once you make a name for yourself.

And then once you hit it big, run away with the cash.

I just tried doing this in the tunnel with 500p for raffle ticket. I said winner would take 85% of the pile. There was absolutely no interest in this. In fact, some guy came up to me and constantly called me scammer over and over.

Never set an amount of ticket sales. Never tell them you are giving them a certain percentage.


State ticket prices, state set prizes. Run the lottery on time. Make sure the amount of tickets sold is the numbers you run. Keep the extra or add in door prizes for second and third rolls.

Its like insurance. Nobody cares for spending the money on it, people get mad when they know details, but they fucking love it when it works in their favor.

Start small.

I like how theres raffles and lottos galore in EC now since that lotto thread the other day

Just to clarify for anyone who doesnt know-

You will not get your money back if you get scammed on raffles/casinos

I think you're putting me in a second category from tards...right?

I just did one as a fun social experiment. Charged 100p per entry. Gave out 90% of the pile. 5 people did it, so someone won 450p.

The other thing is casinos give you immediate results. You know whether you won or lost in 5 seconds. Raffles and books require a much longer wait.

No guarantee the bookie will be on either...all too easy to say their internet went down for a week or their laptop crashed and lost all the data.

Will all the negativity this thread has already had I am shutting this lotto down. Was trying to make a fun game for the community and make some cash at the same time but since there are so many trust issues on this server I'm stopping.
