The Basics
(What your lotto absolutely NEEDS)

Now some of the basics are VERY basic indeed however sometimes due to excitement you forget them while making your lotto. The basics here are definitely needed! Without them your lotto probably will end up turning to a failure. We wouldn't want that, would we? wink

Basic 1: The Title Every lotto needs a title. Your title should have something to do with the gold/item(s) you can win in your lotto. Something as "lotto" as a title is not very attracting nor does it tell the people quickly what you can win in your lotto. If someone were to see "100k Lotto" in the title they'd be more attracted on coming to see it than if it said "Big Lotto". 3nodding

Basic 2: Ticket Fee and How Many Slots There Are Sometimes people are interested in your lotto but are too lazy to ask how much the ticket fee is. Also someone who is trying to make sure this isn't a rip off lotto or a scam would need to know how much each ticket cost and how many slots there are in total. If you were to have a 100k lotto and each ticket cost 1k (reasonable) but people didn't know how many slots there are they PROBABLY wouldn't enter feeling they might get ripped off. However if you were to tell them there was 110 slots they'd probably enter. However if you were to have 200 slots they probably wouldn't knowing not many people would enter due to how much profit you are making and how much time it would take for the slots to fill up. Remember not to earn too much with your lotto as people won't enter knowing how much you profit.

Basic 3: Method On Choosing The Winner To chose your winner you should be using one of gaia's random features. Preferably the random number generator for lottos, as using dice doesn't make it equal chance at all for a lotto.

NOTE - You can no longer use any method for picking a winner, outside of gaia. No more hat draws, no more randomizer.org, etc.

Basic 4: Log That Shows Who Has Entered And Their Slot Number How are people supposed to know how close this lotto is from being completed and what slots are available for them if there is no list on the post showing them it? Also how are you suppose to remember who joined and what slots are left if you don't keep track? Exactly. It messes up the lotto. For the log if there are lots of slots instead of posting all of them post the user and put low slot number - high slot number instead.

EXAMPLE - 1 - 20 Skull Ruler
Skull Ruler has slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and all the way up to 20.
(editing right now)

Basic 5: Rules You don't have to include the rules of Gaia's ToS. You include the rules you have. Such as if you wanted NOT to allow refunds you'd have to mention that. If you didn't people would have the right to get a refund. Even though it is kind of not nice to ask for one they still would have the right to. That is why you MUST include that.

Basic 6: Thread Organization MOST people would love a thread that is organized all the information is set out and easy to find. Otherwise you don't have the ticket fee at the top, and have the slots taken at the top. Also you don't use bright pink font and huge ugly fonts other than for TITLES. Unorganized threads shows lack of profession which makes the participants angry and not want to join it.

Basic 7: Respectful You most definitely should thank all participators and bumpers at your thread. Not doing this shows lack of respect and turns people off. Remember you want people to come and join your lotto. Not think you are a stuck up brat! xd wink
