    Well hello ECC i tohught a genius idea you might not agree with me but that is ok!

    My genius idea is too have 2 lottery systems 1 with 1,000 ECd tickets and one with 5,000 ECd dollar tickets the 5,000 dollar one would be a bigger pot and more harder to win!

    Separate lottery systems have been discussed before, and have been turned down.


    Let me start off with some of the smaller downsides. First off, it would get really confusing to have two lotteries, because I'd have to type two commands for two different lotto. If I wanted to see either one, two more commands. Buy a ticket for either one, more commands. And how would I know which lotto is which from the pot and when they were won?
    It would also cause a ton more chat spam, and with all the multitudes of chat, we don't need more chat.

    Mainly, I'm not even sure we can run two lotteries. Andrew would have to do some tweaking on current plug-ins, it might be a lot of work. But to be honest, I know nothing in technical areas, ask Kuke about that one :p

    Also, the difficultly is the same. The 5k ticket one would statistically be the same possibility of winning. It's not the $$$ number that counts, it's the ticket count. A 1mil per ticket lotto or a penny per ticket lotto, 1 ticket always has less chance of winning then 5 tickets.

    Also, do we really need another lotto? We already got one, why do we need another one?

    Sad to say I can't think of many upsides to this. If the technical details were worked out, it might work, and that would be great. But really, i can't think of much of a reason to really have another lotto.

    If you read my entire post, you'll realize it's not. Your free to make a counter-argument, but saying "it's still a great idea" ain't gonna cut it :p

    But really, if you want to lose money faster, buy 5 tickets on the current lotto.

    It could be done, but you would have to be smart about it. If you have a second lotto, it should draw much less often, like once a day.

    To make it different from the current lotto, perhaps have it set to 1 ticket per person, 10k per ticket, drawing once a day or once a week for big pots.

    Personally, I don't think it is needed. :/ If you want a big pot, throw more money into the lotto because frankly when people see tons of money in lotto it makes them want to lotto more.

    I'm curious to know why you think that's relevant to this suggestion.
