Here is a run of the mill example.
"Guys, a friend of mind sent this to me with the description that it was a highly secretive rendering of an upcoming MTAC design for Dust 514. I can't make heads or tails of what she sent me. I've lost contact with her. Can you help me decipher what she sent?"

[Render 03302]
Bonus Round
-First merc to tell me what this transmission process is called receives 2 tickets. -And the first one to post a decoded image receives 5 tickets.
Tickets are counted toward my lottery. (It's a clever way of 'paying' mercs for impressive knowledge and actions.)

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.

Genius, Sir. Genius. It would be 300 tickets; every 1 million isk gets you a bonus ticket.

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

Quil Evrything is awarded 2 tickets as Slow-Scan Television is the answer I was looking for. I will award 1 additional ticket to AP Grasshopper for describing the technique in a general manner.
Five tickets still remain for this challenge in providing and decoded image.

Depending on how much I grind Dust matches and the amount people put down on my lottery, the value of these easy challenge tickets may be well worth it. The current pot is 3.6 million ISK and the lotto drawing is set to commence on the release of update 1.8 which CCP Saberwing has confirmed will not drop during the month of February. This provides ample time.

Nice. While that isn't what I was thinking of, thanks for calling me on what I described in the OP. My error. Yes, that is the spectrogram I used. To win the tickets I am looking for a transcribed raster format image from this SSTV audio file.

Good. I would recommend using MMSSTV The automation of rx and tx (recieve and transmit) for any signal is very nice.

The duration of your transmission was 41 seconds and there were some forms here that took 36 seconds so I slapped it in there. The second one had miscellaneous stuff all around the edges that I cropped out, probably because the transmission was too long for it or something.
You do realize that I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, right? lmao

For example, with my current investment my average yield is around 3m ISK; 29% of 90% of 11.7m. If I invest the 5 million ISK profit I have leftover from last week I gain 30 tickets and I have a 70% chance to win 15m ISK (90% of 16.7m) as grand prize. This is an average yield of 10.5m ISK. 10.5m ISK yield minus my investment is a 5.5m ISK mean profit, up from 3m.
It seems that by you adding to your pot in addition to bonus tickets skewing the lottery in favor of high investors, you've made it profitable to invest. You're losing money by running a lottery, which I'm finding amusing. I suppose I could find the exact number of tickets that would give me the highest yield after losses on average. I should really wait until the day before 1.8 hits, though.
It's like reverse gambling where you make a profit over time.

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:]

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.
