Welcome to the Frihost PowerCube Lottery!

*PLEASE DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD THAT YOU HAVE BOUGHT A TICKET! THIS THREAD COULD LAST FOR A LONG TIME!

This lottery, initially funded by me, and completely random will give you a chance to win HUGE amounts of FRIH$, if enough people play. This will work like a REAL lottery where not someone will win the jackpot every week, but some people will win some FRIH$.

Here is how is works:

☻Donate 10 FRIH$ to me with the donation message being five (3) numbers (blue numbers) between 1 and 55 and one (1) number (red number/PowerCube) between 1 and 42.

☻DO NOT TELL ANYONE YOUR TICKET NUMBERS!

☻Don't spam in this forum.

☻Every Wednesday at 5pm EST a totally random number will be drawn by a Random Number Generator.

-------------------

Here is how winning happens:

☻The Jackpot: This is won by matching all 3 blue numbers and the PowerCube. Payout is the total jackpot.

☻8% of Jackpot: Matching the PowerCube.

☻15% of Jackpot: Matching a blue number and the PowerCube.

☻25% of Jackpot: Matching 2 blue numbers and the PowerCube OR 3 blue numbers.

☻A multiplier is also picked at the drawing. You can multiply your winnings by 1.5x, 1.75x, and 2x.

*Please note, I do not take profit from this. Not all FRIH$ is added to the jackpot though. Some is saved for the next jackpot. 2 FRIH$ is saved.

**This week, all non-jackpot drawings can be won by getting your numbers within 3 of the chosen numbers.

I'm in.

I think you'll make BIG money from this though ^^ concider making it less than 5 blue numbers - the basic probability of getting them all right is something along the lines of 0.0000021 (i used average probability of getting red or blue right * 6 to the power of 6)

A yes. I talked to rvec about it and he said it was allowed, so I put mod approved.

Saying it is allowed does not mean it gets staff approval. Rvec was absolutly correct in say it was allowed, (by the rules), but that is not a defacto statement for the staff. He merely stated it was allowed under the current rules.
polly-gone
I know that. I put approved to say that it follows all rules and that a mod says it follows all rules.

Thanks again, Ghost Rider103!
