Now, alot of people are probably going to hate me for doing this, but I think that the rich are getting a little too powerful in ECC. They use things like SG kits and excessive lotto tickets to get even more money (But SG is besides the point right now).
What I feel is necessary is to prevent them from hogging all of the money and give the lower class, like residents, builders, early mayors, etc. A chance! I've noticed a pattern, rich people buy lots of tickets. So instead of just making the tickets cost money, for each ticket you buy, you can not buy another ticket for 1 minute. This would stop both lotto spammers and people who buy tickets all at once. For example, if you buy 63 tickets and each lotto takes 20 minutes, you cannot enter the next 3 lottos. And if you spam "/lotto buy 2", you can't really spam because it would take you 2 minutes to buy a ticket again.
I'm not sure if this is a good idea for Presidents and Tycoons, but it sure balances out lotto and gives people like me a fair shot at finally winning lotto. And because, who here actually likes spam? No one will change my opinion.

-1 Being a "financial manager" for @matrix_rep, I'd say we lose money on most of the lottos that we play.
If spam is a problem, /lot messages, and you could always not play for one round and do a higher ticket amount the next, to have a better chance at winning.
Lotto is for the rich and it will stay that way. -

The problem is, lotto must not be nerfed. It is there to slabilize the economy.
I think it was dewsy who went through the logs of one week a while ago and posted the result. Lotto takes almost as much money out of the economy as there is inserted with /sell, making it an important vent.
Sorry, but because of its economical role I disagree with this since it needs to remain possible to put a fortune in so a fortune of tax is removed. -

I had an idea about lotto today, which I may post later if I get time. I see what you are trying to do, but a cooldown doesn't seem to be a very good idea IMHO.

-1.
Let me get this straight. I have not won a SINGLE lotto since beginning of time.
But because of the tax, lotto plays a huge role in the economy, especially for big pots.
As many would say spam is fixable by /lot messages. And also staff can handle that if thats a very big issue. -

Look, I know that it's hard to win lotto. Trust me, I've lost at least $20,000 on lotto and I barely ever lotto. But when you buy 40 tickets in a 43 ticket lotto, you have a great chance of winning. Now I'm fine with that, that doesn't bother me. What does bother me though is that you guys won't stop, and that so many people have adopted to doing it. This isn't really the biggest problem on ECC, believe me, the SG glitchiness & lag is honestly a bigger problem than this. And there are SEVERAL different sides to this, and I'm just saying the side I'm on, it's not really a big deal.
