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. ![]() 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.
