Alright, so we had a lottery thing before, I'm told, but it was shut down because whoever ran it turned out to be a scam artist. Well, I want to try something, and I want to give people something to do with their Viz.
Now, I'm not sure exactly how the states who allow the lottery do their actual payout rates, so I'm going to do my own. 

Here are the rules for how the payout works: 
1. All balls are 0-9, RNG.
2. If you get 1 ball right, you get a share of 8% of the total pot.
3. If you get 2 balls right, you get a share 20% of the original pot.
4. If you get all 3 you get a share of 72% of the original pot. 
5. If there are multiple winners for 1, 2 or 3 correct balls, then they will get the aforementioned percentage split evenly amongst those who got that amount.  
6. If there are multiple winners, then the 8% for 1 ball correct will be paid out first. Then, the winners for 2 balls correct will get 20% of the remaining pot. Then, the people who got all 3 balls correct get 100% of the remaining pot. 

Example: 1,000,000 total pot. 
2 people get 1 ball correct. 
3 person got 2 balls correct. 
1 person got all 3 balls correct. 

8% of 1,000,000 is 80,000. 2 people got 1 ball correct, so each person gets 40,000.
20% of 1,000,000 is 200,000. 3 people got 2 balls correct, so each person gets 66,666. 
72% of 1,000,000 Viz is 720,000. 1 person got all 3 balls correct, so that person gets 720,000. (If 2 people had gotten 3 balls correct, then it would have been 360,000 each). 
PAYOUTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE! 


Hopefully that makes sense. 

If not all the Viz is claimed in a given week, then it will carry on over to the next week. 


Now, how do you get your lottery numbers? 
Simple! Just send me 1,000 Viz for each ticket, for a maximum of up to 10 tickets a day. When you do that, make sure you send me your numbers (3 numbers, between 0 and 9. ) If you buy 5 tickets, then I need 5 sets of 3 numbers. 

When is the drawing? 
Right now, I plan on it being on Tuesday nights, at approximately midnight CST (server time)

Do I have to post to be eligible to get my viz? 
No, you do not have to post. However, if you do purchase some tickets, it would be appreciated that you make a post so that the thread can stay active, and on the most recent page so that others may see this. 



After I receive entries each day, I'll do my best to update this thread every night at around midnight with the total number of entries, and the total pot. 

If you have any questions, feel tree to ask them. 
If you have any suggestions, feel free to give them. However, I may not implement all of them. I'll try to implement the goods ones, and even those that I don't necessarily like if it seems to have a decent amount of support. 
This is a trail run. I plan on doing this for a few weeks before we start the official one. 
If there is any Viz left from the trial run, it will be put straight into the pot of the official one. 


Uh, I can't think of anything else, but here goes! 

Total Number of Entries This Week: 5 
Total Pot: 124,462  

Last Week's Drawing's Winning Numbers: 4 - 8 - 7
Total Ammount Won Last Week: 10,388
Total Pot Won All Time: 134,138 




Time for some summons to try to get this off to a good start: (not sure who all is active, so I'm just going to summon all those that I think might be interested).

I can't help but be a little bit of a tightwad, so I'll take five tickets. 5,000 Viz incoming. I'd kinduh like to see this thread take off.

Does nobody else want to get in on this experiement and chance for a lot of viz? 

25% off tickets until midnight tonight ONLY! 
Only 750 Viz per ticket. You can buy up to 10. 


m0ssb3rg935 : Want to buy anymore tickets? 

Eh... Sure, why not. It can't hurt to grab five more. Sending the Viz and picking the numbers now.

This sounds awesome, but due to the stigma placed on lottos, I'll have to pass, albeit unhappily. I really hope it takes off for you, man.


EDIT: You know what? I'll give my winnings away so I can still play without it being gambling. I'm in for ten tickets.

m0ssb3rg935 : Got yours in, man. Thanks for playing. 
Eirinn : That works too. I was going to threaten your pudding, but it seems I won't have to. I will have to ask you to actually give me some numbers for your 10 tickets. Check out the PM I sent you. 

If I can still buy ticket I would love to buy 5 tickets.

I WIn Also : You can always buy tickets; up to 10 a day at 1,000 Viz each. Just make sure that you have the numbers you want with your PM when you send me the Viz. 
5 tickets would be 5,000 viz, so I would need 5 sets of 3 numbers ranging from 0 to 9 in the PM when you send the Viz. 

I have sent you a PM with my numbers and have also sent you 5k Viz. Hope I did it right. 

I WIn Also : You're the first person to do it right the first time so far. XD But, you did it in seperate messages, which is just fine. 

I'm glad this is picking up traction. I wanted to do something nice, and this seemed like a good diea for something fun to use your Viz on. Not eerybody believes in gambling, but assuming your not spending money on actual viz, then I don't think there's much of a problem. I think the way I have the percentages set up makes it really fun and suspenseful. Assuming not many people enter or buy a lot of tickets, then there's the possibility of a lot of the Viz being won. But, if more than just a handful of people get a number or two right, well then, it makes me do a lot more work. 
Nobody really knows how much they will win. Even if they somehow manage to get the jackpot, because I still have to give Viz to everybody. 

Feel more proud then I should do. That was my OCD kicking in. Must look nice and clean. Glad I did it right! confident boost! 

With 3 people entering for a total of 25 tickets in the first week, we have a grand total of 123,750 Viz that was won, leaving 0 left in the pot. 

The winning numbers were: 7 - 0 - 1 
1 ball wins: 4 ( 4,950 a share at 4% of the pot )
2 ball wins: 1 ( 20,790 a share at 20% of remaining pot )
3 ball wins: 1 ( The remaining 83,160 of the pot ) ( I am guinely shocked )

Congrats to all winners. Your winnings will be sent to you shortly. If you wish to post that you won, you may do so. However, to try to keep this as realistic as Vizzed-ly possible (and fun, in my opinion), I will not say who won. Just how much was won, and how much of the pot was leftover.

Thanks for playing guys. I'm going to do this at least another week. However, I wasn't expecting a jackpot to be hit, so I will be putting more of my own Viz in again. This time, though, it'll only be half as much. So, instead of me putting in 100,000 , I'll only be putting in 50,000. 

I'm gonna go ahead and buy five more tickets, so the Viz and numbers will be coming your way momentarily. I also want this thread to be more successful, so I'm gonna go ahead and throw in the other half of the pot. 50,000 Viz donation to help get it rolling.

Gonna enter again, and dump all of my winnings back into the pot to boot. Also going to ask some others if they want to play.

Eirinn :  

Thank you for buying tickets on day 1 of week 2, and for your big donations. However, I seem to have made an error, and deleted your messages saying just how much Viz you sent, Eirinn. Could you shoot me another PM with how much Viz you sent me in total (your 10 tickets plus your donation total?) 

Note for Mods : This post was call our their generosity. 

I don't mind donating Viz to the prize pool if it's needed... I won't be taking part in this though simply due to the fact Viz isn't something really i need at the moment and i'd honestly just forget about it anyways. Just let me know how much you want and i'll send it.

Just letting everybody know that this is still a thing. 
Pot is pretty big. 


I think I'm gonna change up the payout rates for next week, so we'll see what happens there. I want to fine tune the payouts before this gets out of it's trial run. 

A little more than 24 hours left to get your tickets for this week.

I WIn Also :  

Do you guys want to buy any more tickets? Sweeten up the pot a little bit? Know of anybody else that might want to play too? 

I buy 5 tickets... cant win nothing in real life, so trying here

EDIT:
U select the numbers for us? or we select? if we select i want:

2 - 5 - 7

crush_overider : Not quite. Read the instructions again. 
Since you are buying 5 tickets, I need 5 sets of 3 numbers, each ranging from 0 to 9. 

If you don't reply to the PM I am going to send you by midnight server time (CST), I will send you your Viz back. If you want to play again next week, you can, but you'll have to send me the Viz for your tickets again.
