Following my decision to allow people to buy the outcome of my Dust Challenge Lottery, with this topic I have chosen to go even farther with this pay to win mentality. The idea is straight forward with several options.
Purchase a $19.99 AUR pack, receive 200 tickets. $9.99 AUR pack, 100 tickets. $4.99 AUR pack, 50 tickets.
How to claim: Please submit a full screen before and after picture of your character that includes a clear view of the AUR ticker. Please do not upload the same photo for multiple alternate characters or modify the numbers in the image. If I discover you have done this, you will be immediately blacklisted from participation. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Note: Players are limited to gaining a maximum of 300 tickets per player.

Darn it, I did this awhile ago, don't feel like doing it again as I've now got three omega boosters waiting and no need for more.
Edit: Also, CCP is gonna love this one.

@Sgt Kirk
I did painstakingly recreate the font used in Dust and Eve typeface. I have a pretty good idea what the numbers should look like.

Wish you'd done this 3days ago when I, and everyone else, was buying packs. Maybe that's why you didn't.
Anyway. I'm not adverse to giving CCP money. Come payday I will claim those 200 tickets please and thank you. |

For further clarification: Players are limited to gaining a maximum of 300 tickets per character. They may use all three characters on a single account. This is 900 tickets per account. Tickets may be transfered between characters by initiating a request. I document these requests here on a Google Document Ledger.

Too much. I think the lottery works best when it is more challenged based; either rewarding difficult things such as getting a melee kill with the PS Move or inspiring a different way of playing like using a dropship. A couple of the things like isk doubling or things like that are okay but I think keeping with actual gameplay stuff is more interesting. Paying 20 dollars to CCP is not really a challenge anymore than buying tickets was. I dunno, that's just me
For the next lottery, I would suggest reworking the ticket bit to make it more about playing and completing game challenges. Instead of halving the tickets once a challenge is claimed, instead give a small bonus for the first person to claim for THAT lottery. So if one was going to claim 10 tickets, make it be 13 for the first person and 10 for everyone else rather than 10 tickets for the first and 5 tickets for everyone else. |

Valid point, I may be straying too far from course. What would be some fair values for the pay to win challenge? Reduce the ticket value so people would have to shell out several grand to get ahead in the competition. That could be particularly noteworthy.

For example,
Purchase a $99.99 AUR pack, receive 600 tickets. $49.99 AUR pack, receive 250 tickets. $19.99 AUR pack, receive 75 tickets. $9.99 AUR pack, 30 tickets. $4.99 AUR pack, 10 tickets.

I would perhaps do less than this.
$99.99 = 400 $49.99 = 175 $19.99 = 60 $9.99 = 25 $4.99 = 10
Although this might not be enough incentive for people to buy AUR specifically for the contest, I would be very disappointed if someone with deep pockets bought the prize*. (I appreciate that I tried to buy the last lottery, but that is entirely beside the point. Also 15M or whatever it was is chump change.)
*EDIT: without paying through the nose.

Honestly, the real pay to win solution has been around for some time now.
Paying the ultimate price. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=142661&find=unread
I-Shayz-I wrote:I have a 10 million sp alt lol
but my main would get a whopping 12280 tickets...I currently have 33 million sp.
The thing is, my main is worth more than the stuff offered in the drawing.
This also means a player would need to pay upwards of $2000 to begin to reach the biomass value of these clones.

@Lorhak Gannarsein, the idea with my numbers is to keep them competitive ahead of completing regular challenge tasks but still far short of the nuclear option that is the biomass yourself challenge.

Well.
I do have 35M on this character...
Anyway. Would it be possible for you to link all your various challenges in the main thread?

@ Lorhak Gannarsein, For space reasons I had to create a new topic. This will be linked to the main lottery page. [Dust Challenge Lottery] All the Challenges in One Place
By the way, your 35 Million SP clone is a 24568 win button.

As enticing as the high ticket values are I don't see many people putting lots of money down on a competition with a high degree of uncertainty, especially with regards to the Biomass Challenge. There may be people that simply do it to support CCP.

Well, I bought AUR when the challenge was first announced, despite having misgivings. I figured if I said "Here is my submission. Now that I have the tickets, I think you should cancel this challenge" that would be a very weenie thing to do. So here ya go! http://imgur.com/a/FTxpV

For a 19.99 aur pack, here's 75 tickets. Everything checks out
