Information:

Founded in March of 2007, A World Power was once one of the largest regions in Nationstates, and is currently re-building to its former glory! We as a region hold no specific political ideology, but nations organise themselves into Great Houses of likeminded individuals. The leaders of the three largest Houses form a Triumvirate which is responsible for leading the region. We believe in open elections for all citizens of our region and operate a one of the major defender forces in the game, which protects regions across Nationstates from invasion.

Single winner? All-at-once payout?
How much of ticket price goes into the pot/What funds the initial pot/Does the pot grow as tickets are sold/Is there a guaranteed winner?

Sorry, I like to know all the rules before I gamble. - then again, I'm still buying at least one ticket, regardless. :)

Erm, that's kind of what I'm trying to figure out. :P

The pot does grow as tickets are sold, with the full ticket price going into the pot. There's only one winning number in this lottery (which is not guaranteed), which I figured is okay since only twenty five tickets are being sold.

Unfortunately, the initial pot comes from thin air, but we can always adjust this be subtracting the initial amount from the account sponsoring the lottery.

I need to search through the coder's forums to learn a little more about the lottery system. The whole currency code is still a work in progress, so it's likely to be upgraded in the future.

This is a great idea. I made a store in the GRA, let me know if you want the code, should be compatible with this system.

Fair enough. If the full ticket price is being paid out to a single winner, I'm down for buying tickets. ;)

Sure, I'll have to drop by and check it out sometime.
