Clever marketing DJINN. You're not getting any takers on your lotto, so you award tickets for forum actions to better draw up word about your operation. It's almost as if you're giving away free money.
"Hey, I'm giving you 50 million isk. I'll give you 250 tickets valued at 200k isk a piece."
Genius, Sir. Genius.

Even better. My advice, don't spam the forums with 'you get a ticket' messages. Leave them as awards for challenges.

Looks like that 5% management fee I'm taking is going to be taken for every ISK worth updating your last minute transactions from the vendor.

Looks like that 5% management fee I'm taking is going to be taken for every ISK worth updating your last minute transactions from the vendor. What are your plans regarding this lotto? You've currently invested over 9m into the pot and any fees imposed will not break even. Is it for fun? If it's for profit, you'd need to be aiming long term for when the pots would be very high. I notice you use RandomPicker.com; what's the transparency level of the site? Is there a way for me to make sure that everything has been done legitimately when I lose all my ISK and I want to make sure you didn't exclude my name/odds from the drawing to pass the winnings through Chit and back to yourself?  Could Scam Lottery really be a scam and you're hiding it in plain view!? [pirate:] Tell me man, I need answers! 
Right now, it's primarily a system similar to EternalRMG of incentivizing people to attempt these challenges I dream up. By paying people in tickets I have tremendously more freedom to create. As for funneling ISK back through Chit Hoppened, that is a reasonable remark. Am I like Gus Fring hiding my operration in a veil of legitimacy? It's possible. To help reduce your concerns I will produce a video clip showing the live excel spreadsheet and its data points, from which I upload and show in the random picker system. Drawing will be shown from start to finish. If you have any questions please ask.
