New Updates!

08/10/09
-Ok, just to clear this up, since for some reason, people seem to think otherwise, I am NOT hiring moderators for the thread. I already chose two a few weeks ago, and there's enough now.
-We have two new moderators! Please welcome them warmly if you see them in the thread!
-Guess what guys? I'm putting up a page contest again! The first to page 20,000 will earn 3 million gold!!!!
-I've updated the 1st, 2nd, and 13th post. In the 13th post, I've added a mini-exchange. If you are having trouble finding, or selling in the MP, you can come check in here! Not to mention there is no 2% tax!
-Do not discuss anything about the recent incident with the Dev hacking. If you post a screenshot of the fake announcement, I will have your post removed and blacklist you immediately.
-Talk to each other people! Don't be boring bump-on-a-log bumpers!
-Guys! Never give out your password to anyone! No matter what! Don't click on suspicious links either! I've lost way too many participants from hackings. If you need any help with knowing whether or not something is safe, than contact me and I will help you. I do not want to lose anymore participants!
-If you change your name, and you own tickets, or are a page winner, or a top bumper, please PM me and tell me your old username and your new one.
-Just FYI, there is NO limit to buying tickets. You can buy as many as you want.

Rules, Make sure you read before you get started!

I reserve the right to deny you prizes if you break my (or ToS) rules.
1. Follow ToS obviously.
2. No page stretching please.
3. Keep quote towers down to a minimum.
4. No harrassment, flaming, abuse, etc.
5. If you've been using an auto-poster I will not give you any prize money.
6. Do not put down me, the other thread mods, or the thread itself. If you have a problem, PM me.
7. No begging, no being greedy. The prize at the end is big enough, don't whine when you don't get free stuff.
8. No advertising, spamming, etc. If you want to be an affiliate, then PM me.
9. I will not reply to useless PMs (This includes begging, asking to be friends, asking to chat, asking stupid questions about the thread without reading the front page, etc.). I do not donate to beggars. I do not accept random friend requests.
10, If you cheat (skip bumps etc.) or are cheating me in any way, you will be blacklisted immediately.
11. If I get a blank trade or a trade with items, I will cancel it unless it is titled for a specific reason or you have PMed me beforehand and we have discussed what it is for.
12. Do NOT PM me if your settings are to that I can't send you a PM if not friend listed. I get too many PMs I can't answer to.
13. Label your trades or I will assume it is for tickets, and mark it down for ticket entries!
14. Please try to make your posts available on your profile so I can check to see if you legitimately got 100 posts, or see your previous posts when I am updating top bumpers.
15. There are no refunds unless I decide to quit the lottery before it is over, in which case everyone who bought will get 100% refunds.



I will no longer be issuing "Offenses". You break my rules, you're outta here.

Let the Games Begin!

The Main Lottery

This is the main event! The big cash prizes won here! This will make you phukking writch rofl . There are 10 Million tickets, a lot I know, but they are only 100 gold each 3nodding . Simply send me a trade (Not anyone else, only me) with the amount of gold corresponding with how many tickets you want. After they are all bought, I will use the random number generator in the post options. 1st place will win 500,000,000 Gold. 2nd place gets 200,000,000 Gold. 3rd gets 100,000,000 Gold. So even third place should be really happy lol. So, the title says 1 Billion gold, but no one actually gets 1 billion. That is the total amount collected in tickets, and will be distributed at the end. Profit for me and the moderators at the end will only be approximately 3% of total ticket income. This way EVERYONE is a winner.

The Bump Contest

Well what would be a good Lottery thread without a Bump Contest? Simply number your posts. Please make the bump # easy to see. When people fill their posts full of shiny graphics and whatnot, it makes it hard to find a number >.< So just make sure it's easy to find please 3nodding . 1st Place gets 50,000,000 Gold. 2nd place gets 20,000,000 and 3rd gets 10,000,000. Bump contest will end when all the lottery tickets are sold.

The New Random Number Contest

Unlike the old Random Number Contest, this is a little more competitive, and less difficult to accomplish. I won't be changing the number around this time. The range is 1-500,000. The objective is to get as close to the designated number as you can. Keep track of how close you get, and what page number you got your closest on. Make sure you notify me, I will put a list of the current leaders like I do for top bumpers. This will be on-going till the end of the lottery. The person with the closest number will receive 5,000,000. 2nd closest will receive 2,000,000. 3rd closest will receive 1,000,000. The designated number will be put where the old random number was: on the front page and in my signature. Please tell me if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer. To be eligible for this contest, you must own 150 tickets (15,000 gold).

Example

Objective::123456
Closest to Objective::129594
Page::10247

This is a great way to do your posts to keep track. If you get closer than anyone on the list, then send me a PM, so I can update it.

A Few Tips To Remember

- Remember, when buying tickets, 80-90 is not ten tickets, it is eleven. 81-90 would be ten tickets.

- I am human, I cannot get all your trades right away. If it has been more than a week, then PM me.

- The random number generator IS random, unlike dice where high and low numbers are hard to hit. So it IS fair that I use it to pull ticket numbers at the end.

- This is a HUGE lottery, don't expect it to finish quickly!!! Have patience!

- I only take PURE GOLD. Don't give me items instead. I will cancel the trade.

- There is no limit to how many or how little tickets you buy.

-Tickets are NOT a physical item, don't panic when you don't receive something back in the trade. You are paying for a place holder, which I keep track of.
