*le sigh*

I suspected as much, but not quite so quickly. I can only tell you that I am attempting to run a legitimate enterprise here. If only a handful were willing to take a chance I would show you that. Is 200k really so precious to you? What do you lose by not taking that chance? If it is indeed a scam as you all so ludly proclaim, then don't you gain the satisfaction of calling me out as a liar?

I shall reiterate, in case the naysayers didn't fully grasp the concept previously; it is not worth the time or effort to make this a scam. I am fully aware that this is not going to be massively popular. Weekly winnings may only come to a few million if only a handful of people are willing to take the risk, hardly worth the effort of stealing it, would you not agree? I could make that kind of money in a short enough time by playing normally, there would be no need to set up such a scam.

What I am trying to do here is something for the community of Dust, a small little earner for a lucky player each week who's willing to take a small chance. I can only hope that a few have the courage to take that chance.

I just spent all my ISK on a birthday TANK SQUADRON for a friend, so unfortunately, I won't be entering this time around. But good luck to those who have the money to spare. Hope it's not a scam.

Wait. If scam. then meh. If legit, then maybe good surprise. Risk ? nul. Risk for the individual, low. Gain for Lottery Man if many have this same feeling, high. He could even afford to give some cash to one of those who bought a ticket (much less than total takings). Next week, people invest a little more because he didn't rip them off the first time. Eventually, individuals are risking more and The Lottery Man one day decides not to give out the prize. What does he lose compared to what the players, collectively, are putting up?

He's not making anything so he can't afford 3rd party fees. That said debunking this is nearly as bad as buying a ticket. Wasting time is just as bad as wasting isk. The lottery man should know thatt and shut down this nonprofit operation.

I can only hope that a few have the courage to take that chance. I remember there were people in EVE Online that once tried to "Run a legitimate enterprise" where they held onto a bunch of ISK that people gave to that corp. It was "EBank" it became very popular and then one day lots of people lost a combine total of over 200 billion isk. http://www.ign.com/articles/2009/07/09/eve-online-bank-scandal <-- get your meta game on! I see there was also EVE Intergalactic Bank back in the day that took over 800 billion isk from people who invested in it. according to that article. All and all running legitimate enterprises seem to be a very good way to make ISK.
