Site: http://dustlottery.com/
Twitter: http://twitter.com/dustlottery
Facebook: http://facebook.com/dustlottery
Current Release Version: v.1
Site Roadmap: http://dustlottery.com/pages/roadmap
Dust Lottery is an automated dust lottery system where mercs can buy tickets from lotteries created by both the site host as well as any corporation that wishes to created one. It is currently in testing but a functional phase. Help guides/videos on how to create drawings and/or buy tickets will be on the site, hopefully in the next couple days, for now you can use the instructions below.
The systems works as follows:
For buying tickets.
- Visit dustlottery.com and find a lottery you want to buy tickets for, note the ticket price and the lottery code
- Go in-game, go to Corporation Search, type in DLOTO (short for Dust Lottery Drawing), click Give Money.
- Take how many tickets you wanted times the cost of the tickets, input this as the ISK amount you are sending
- In the reason box, input the Lottery Code, this will tell our system that you are buying tickets for that lottery. If you leave this blank or it is invalid, it will default to the sites monthly drawing.
- Wait 30 minutes and you should see the tickets bough increase. In v.2 the host of the lottery will be able to see your lottery ticket purchase and maybe more down the road!
For creating a Lottery.
- You must have a login and the character name you use must match the character name you will use to send ISK from through your corporation. The corporation that character is in will be displayed as the host corporation and you must have wallet access to your corporation to validate a drawing.
- Once you have an account, on the website, dustlottery.com, on the current drawing page, click the Create Drawing in the top right.
- Fill in all desired information. Note that the Lottery Code that you input will be the identification code that merc in-game will use to identify your lottery when they are purchasing tickets.
- Go in-game, Corporation Search, type DLOTO (short code for Dust Lottery Drawing), click Give Money, R2 to switch to your corporation as the one giving the isk, send the exact ISK amount that you setup as the starting amount for the lottery.
- Now wait at least 30 minutes and your lottery will show up on the front page if you did everything correctly.
All drawing winners will be automatically picked at the end of each drawing from a script that queries Random.org for a winning number based on the number of tickets sold. The only manual process for the site is the payout to the winner and the hosting corporation.
Currently looking for feedback, questions, comments, etc
Thanks all,

DJINN B4lock wrote:Actually, you've also created a system to run automated donation drives. Here's the idea I'll be sending along tonight.
Dust Challenge Lottery 50/50 Raffle
40% of ticket goes to DJINN B4lock (Jadek Menaheim's Alt for Dust Challenge Lottery)
10% goes to DustLottery.com
50% goes to one participant
-Starting Pot 2 Million
-1000 ISK Buy-In
I'm sure there are many things that can be done, people already have suggested things like private lotteries, alliance only, corp only, etc.

Jadek Menaheim wrote:The real winner here is Brush Master. He's created a system that actually quite profitable if he keeps it legitimate. All lotteries take a 10% site management fee. Even at it's current level, Contra's lottery at 16,750,000 ISK gives 1.67 Million ISK to Dust Lottery.com. I see this being a very useful service that has very little competition that the moment to encourage fee reduction.
Nicely played.
For the amount of time put in, i would say it was more for fun then profitable, but maybe it will be long term.

No. Reason being, anyone could easily switch to another character to buy more tickets. It becomes a game of cat and mouse which I will not play. Buying tickets increases the kiddy if the fee is not 90% and spamming tickets will be obvious to me and I will deal with the issue down the road or when it becomes very apparent that its effecting lotteries.

Indeed, sadly API can only read the wallet, not do transfers for me. The winners will be listed with payouts and status. I will track it and have wallet transactions just like with those that host lotteries or buy tickets.

Jadek Menaheim wrote:Rynx Sinfar wrote:I too am curious about this since the payouts have to be manually done I wondered if there was a way to stipulate that if player X payed over a certain threshold to gain Y number of tickets, any additional ticket purchases would be refunded back to player X. Right now, it's ease to use this system as a scam by flooding the pot with a lot of ticket purchases. I'm not exactly sure how submissions are 'queried' to random.org.
Would not work, people have many alts and without Dust releasing an SSO to help validate PSNs and I have no data on old a character, nothing to really fight such abuses, so at this time, they are unlimited. Not sure how someone would scam a lottery by sending a ton of ISK to a wallet they have no control over.
Random.org just picks the winning number which then corresponds to a ticket in my system. I hand Random.org the range of the tickets numbers, it hands back a single number, I then look who that is in the system and bam, thats the winner. If your not sure how Random.org functions work, you should checkout http://Random.org

Just curious and love the concept! JUST EPIC! Now if only we could see custom made advertisements in-game and could really start getting user generated content on a regular basis inside our MQs.
+1
only 1 transaction per lottery is needed, the script knows how to divide total by ticket cost

Please confirm where you sent the isk, i do not see any entries. If you are trying to setup a lottery, you must make an account on the site, setup the lottery and then send isk.

For now we can take advantage of existing mechanics. Every player in this corporation has director privileges, thus wallet access. So when the the lottery ends funds are deposited by your system back into the corporation pools and the members of XERCC feed like piranhas. http://dustlottery.com/lottery/xer
Jadek, I think your term of scam in description will actually scare off most people.

the problem with your send was that you sent it from a character. Lotteries can only be created by corporations as that i how we track it currently. I will mark yours down for refund on my next payout cycle.
