It's here, in case you need to know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, before coding something else, I'm considering adding more features...
1. Make drawings more often - considering its a fairly large pot and I just opened it two hours ago, twice daily might be a better move. Or once every 20 hours to shake up the time zones.
2. Last 5 or 10 winners - Not essential to the script, but just nice to know.
3. Largest jackpot winner - Just something I can add for statistical purposes.
Also, anything else you might feel like suggesting. Just throwing this topic out there so you can talk about it.

Just so you know, the games index doesn't contain a link to the 50/50 raffle yet.

Those are pretty unimportant things, though. Thanks, MiniMoose!

I was trying to find the link and I accidentally bought a ticket (didnt' want to), make the button more ... linkish. I couldn't tell what I was doing. 
onMouseover = "this.style.backgroundColor = '#222222';"

Also, "Largest jackpot winner ever. Minimoose 2707, 2707 minerals."
And - "You have 4850 minerals... I hope..."
Why the "I hope" part?

The "previous winner" didn't update, or it should include a date (I'm assuming Rainor won before Moose).

I don't think it even gave him the minerals, he only has 80 right now. Unless he spent some. Besides, isn't the drawing supposed to be at 5 AM?

I did a sample drawing to make sure my generation of last winner data works without clearing the database. Ignore the info on the page until the first real drawing.

Can we form a lottery pool? (Ex, Users A B and C buy tickets and agree to split the pot 3 ways if they win.), or is that against the rules?

I would prefer you do it Private Messages if you do decide to do it. I'm not really sure at this point whether or not I'll allow it.

Can you post the times when each drawing occurs, if it be one day or 20 hours? And when is the next drawing?

Drawings are daily at 5 AM... for now.
Its a 50/50 because 50% of your ticket price goes to the pot.

No additional tickets. I don't want people with more money to be able to rig the odds.

That makes the jackpot bigger. And you can't rig the odds, make sure the payout is less than what it costs to cover every possibility.

So the extra ten minerals that dont go to the jackpot just...disappear?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by RexyRex on 2005-11-15 at 00:25:11
Those are the minerals used to purchase the ticket, so they go to the imaginary bank which holds all of the spent minerals.
