What is Mark Six?
>Mark Six is a lucky draw game--a public one in my town. Think of SEN lots, a bit more advanced, cheap in price, and rewarding.

How do you play Mark Six?
>In real life: You buy a ticket which allows you to choose seven numbers from 1~45. When the draw announces, you will be rewarded depending how many numbers you've got.
>In SEN forums: You send me minerals along with a attatched note saying which numbers you choose for a ticket. You can choose up to seven numbers. It's 10 minerals per ticket.

Price:
If you managed to get ALL six numbers, CONGRATULATIONS! You've got the first prize! ALL the minerals in this game will go to..YOU!
Edit: You still get to select 7 numbers, but only 6 numbers is required for first prize.

Second Prize: Getting five numbers correct will have 45% of the minerals going to you.

Third Prize: Getting four numbers corect will have 35% of the minerals going towards you.

If no one gets the first, second or third prize, anyone who got 3 numbers correct will get back their 10 minerals.

50% of the remaining minerals will go towards the next game.


Results:
Every thursday I will announce the result. That is, the thursday in my town. However due to the difference of time I will not accept any results after Wednesday noon. The results I get is generated by the Jocket Club, you can view it in the following link:

This is different. While the SEN lots cost you over 50 minerals, this one only cost you 10.
Also while the SEN lots got 1 numbers, we here got 6 numbers
While SEN lots is once per month, this one is once per week

Don't you get me wrong! You get to select 7 numbers, yes. However, only 6 numbers will be drawn per week. If any 6 out of the 7 numbers of your choice is drawn, you win a prize! (actually, the 7th number is called the 'bonus' number and is worth half a number, but I simplifed it)

There is one BIG problem with this.

First: 100% minerals
Second: 45%
Third: 35%

Thats 180%. Are you going to supply the extra 80% by yourself? What if people draw all those places and what if 2 people draw the same place in the same round?
