Suggestion:
after the 1v1 lotto's or maybe change the 1v1 lotto's there should be a chance for 1 ticketers to win so everyone can only buy 1 ticket.
Reason:
More of a chance for builder to win because they don't have much money.
Other Information:
N/A

- If you buy 1 ticket in a game where 9 other people buy 1 ticket each, the probability to win is 1/10, but what you would win is 8.5k, therefore your average win is 0.85k.
- If you buy 1 ticket in a game where 9 other people buy a total of 999 tickets, the probability to win is 1/1000, but what you would win is 850k, therefore your average win is... again 0.85k.
- No matter how you play, your expected win per ticket will always be 0.85k. That's a mathematical certainty.
Lotto is an extraordinary way to waste lots of cash, therefore it's a pointless hobby for ridiculously wealthy players who have no actual use for their money and decide to do a favor to the server's economy reducing the amount of ecd going around. Lotto is not for people who want to make money, because it's a dump of money. -

Technically it doesn't make him lose more money per ticket. (this could also be inferred from my earlier coment)
However, if that gives him the illusion he has a slightly higher chance to win, he will be more likely to buy "just one ticket" more often, therefore losing more money, because he's tricked into buying more tickets in a day.
The fact that around the world there are so many different ways to gamble with very elaborate rules is just smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that you still lose money. It's just a way to trick your guts into believing that "come on, there must be a higher chance to win if I play this game!" while the math is begging for your attention yelling "don't, you dumbass, it doesn't make a damn difference!".
Nobody's guts can do math, neither mine, that's why I struggle every day not to trust them and prefer to rely on my knowledge. Sadly, too many knowledgeable people fall prey to their own guts, regardless.

Basically, I agree with e^(i*Pi)+1. The math doesn't indicate any benefit from it. It is always one single ticket that wins. There is no difference whether one player purchases 9 and a second buys 1 or whether ten people buy one ticket each - from the one-ticket-player's point of view, the chance is still 1/amount.

+1 I like this idea!
This suggestion shouldn't be denied for the fact that the builders will lose money in lottery. No matter the rank if you play lotto you are risking money and potentially set up for loss. Currently, builders are given information quite a lot about lotto, I constantly see them ask questions wondering the cost and how to play ETC. Like Crazy Lottos & 1v1 lotto's builders and other players are warned about the risks and the costs of lottery and this should be treated the same! :) -

I guess most should be aware enough to not to play lotto when it costs like 10% of your total net balance.
If not they really are a fool.
Eh, anyways I want to see this implemented so I can actually have some fun in gambling with others who got the same balance/income range or even equally by all players, assuming they buy 1 lottery ticket each. -
