    Suggestion: ranked lotto's

    Reason: it will stop people from losing so much money from tycoons sniping in 100+ tickets

    Any Other Information: it will let builders lotto against other builders, residents to residents, mayors to mayors, presidents to presidents, and so on. and if a crazy lotto occurs it will be disabled and it will be 1 huge lotto, or several small lottos but still in ranks

    plugin: can't find it/dont think there is one/not sure though

    Lotto was created for the rich. This has been suggested many times before

    On average the entire server loses money in the lotto look at it logically. If you buy 1 ticket what are the chances you will win against someone buying 99 ticket 1/100, if you repeat 100 times you should win once, but everyone would lose in taxes.
    Lotto is completely luck and buying more ticket doesn't really give a better payout, you should gain the same as someone who buys one ticket everytime. I am aware the lotto may not work entirely just on chance but it is unlikely to be too far off.
    You don't need a ranked lotto just keep buying 1 ticket you will eventually win, or just don't play if you don't like losing money.

    The lottery is for the rich, and to win the lottery you have to either get really lucky or become rich yourself. (and then lose all your money, you'll understand)

    also,

    The biggest one ticket lotto in the last two months is over 700k.
    The second biggest was over 200k.

    There were 29 1 ticket wins with more than $60k profit.

    1 out of 8 victories is by a 1 ticketer.

    My point is, even 1 ticketers have a chance.

    Lotto is for the rich. There is still always a chance of a one ticketer winning a huge pot. All players can choose to avoid lotto and just type in /lot messages so that they don't have the lotto messages tempting them to enter.

    Lotto is for the rich, only play if you want to lose and don't mind in doing so
