Test Lottery

[Lamb]

More numbers?

You can purchase more than one set of lottery tickets. Is that what you mean?

Yes sorry. Can we buy more? Now?

once may-be enough for me. i try not indulge especially gambling. lets see what will happen.

Buy as many as you like

I changed the amount of numbers to choose from to 10.

 

[MarkFL]

I changed the amount of numbers to choose from to 10.

There are 252 ways to choose 5 from 10.

 

[Lamb]

No one has won yet, but then again, not many tickets were bought.

Is this a daily draw, or.....?

 

[psalms 91]

I have bought some but no luck yet. It is a draw every three days if I am seeing it right

 

[Lamb]

Yes, it draws every 3 days. I know the payout is somewhat low...I think I'll increase it now that we have lower numbers to entice more to purchase tickets.

 

[psalms 91]

I saw two winners in tye last draw, any way they could be listed, the winners I mean.

 

[Lamb]

I will check again but nothing came up in the log file...but I am on my phone.

You were the 2 winners, bill according to the log file (I had to up it a day to get it to show). You should have received 250 CH Cash per win.

OK didnt notice it but then I didnt check either, thanks,k checked back to 10-10 and only thing showing in cash is posts and a thread, nothing for lottery

 

[Lamb]

It happened a little after midnight.

 

[psalms 91]

When I go under CH cash there is nothing there for lottery, you might want to check that

The shop uses a different piece of software so it's listed in my log file that I can access through the Admin CP but not under CH Cash or Activity. Yeah, that's no fun.

Out of curiosity, is there a rollover option for the lottery? This way if no one wins, the prize gets added to the next drawing. That could add to the excitement.

Since there are 53,130 ways to choose 5 numbers from 25 (I didn't check but it looks plausible) then for a stake of 10 you'd expect the prize to be 531,300 rather than 500. It would take a lot of rollovers before the prize was anywhere near a fair value proposition.

As there aren't a vast number of users and the cash is virtual anyway, how about picking three numbers from 10 (yielding 720 combinations, if I remember my rather rusty mathematics correctly), so a stake of 2 and a prize of 500 isn't so far wide of the mark. Adding a rollover option to that would mean it wouldn't be very long before it would be worth considering buying all possible combinations to create a certainty of getting a share of the jackpot

 

[Lamb]

Did you see that I did a 2nd easier lottery to test? I'm trying to find something where we get some winners. The rollover isn't a feature added into the software so manually adding it would not be a fun job to do. It's easy but also easy to forget.

 

[psalms 91]

Yes, I bought a ticket for that as well
