x10 LOTTERY - 20 Credits Per Entry - Apply Within...

[jsto17]

LOTTERY CANCELLED!

I will no longer be doing a lottery game.

There's a chane it is against the rules and simply isn't worth the hastle.

I think there's a website that other people doing draws on x10 in the past have used to generate the random results. It allows everyone to see that there was no cheating. When I get a spare moment, I'll see if I can track it down for you.

You don't need it, but it may avoid any arguing with someone later on if they don't like the results!

By the way, are you going to put everyone's credits, while you hold them, into a short-term investment account & gain secret interest? ;)

[jsto17]

I did have a rather nice hat picked out and ready for the draw zen-r, however your idea sounds a lot better. If you can find it that'd be awesome.

And I will be keeping the credits safe in an offshore bank account until the draw and re-distribution of the chips takes place. Any interest the credits incur in the time leading upto then will become a part of the prize pot ;)

One of them is Random.org

There was plenty of lotteries before, and the administrators shut them down. Also the rep club was shut down. I recommend you check with someone before you start another.

Yes, this draw, for example, used random.org ;

jsto17 may wish to see how it was organised then, & how the screenshot was posted at the end of the competition.

Yes, good advice, though this is nothing to do with Rep Club'ing, & I'm not sure which lotteries that were closed you are referring to. Certainly this draw was closed because it was related to warez sites ; http://forums.x10hosting.com/marketp...s-lottery.html

And this one was closed early by the organiser ; http://forums.x10hosting.com/marketp...nteed-win.html because it went wrong for him. So jsto17 may wish to use it as an example of what not to do!

How did you do that zenr? Thats awesome XD

[zen-r]

Lol. I slipped the road construction workers $2000 to re-program the road sign for me ;)

Anyway, I don't want to take jsto17's thread off-topic.

Edit: Oops, just noticed this lottery has now been ended early. That didn't last long!


Can a mod close this thread please?

Thats actualy quite rubbish. Even if the person uses print screen, he can still press the random generator enough times to make the number he picked, or even use a lil bit of photoshop.

You need a website that makes the numbers its self where you log in and check the new numbers. The number would have to be only generated once / week etc.

[zen-r]

Yes, agreed. Do you know such a website?
