Lottery Event!

That’s me on the left, and yes that’s my signature. And that’s Fruitpanda on the right IRL.

 

UPDATE: SCHAPENVLEES AND URTA HAVE DONATED TOGETHER TO MAKE THE POT 100K!!!  Looks like a big first lottery!!

Hello dudes and dudettes!

Considering the bumps and surprise turns of the last few weeks, we’ve got a pretty damn healthy treasury. As a result, I’d like to hold a lottery for everyone who donates this week to show my appreciation! It isn’t much, but for every 4k Cr you donate, you’ll get a chance to win 25k Cr funded by yours truly 😛 I’ll run a random lottery at the end of this week’s upkeep using a graphing calculator’s random function. You’ll be assigned a number based on when you donated, and if I can’t meet you online to hyperbolize this to the extreme, I’ll mail it to you with enough hearts to fill a Valentine’s box. Aren’t you EXCITED!? Oh, sorry if the coins smell…I did rip them off of dead bodies in the Clockworks.

Somehow, this came up in a google search of “loot”.

How it’s gonna work (a perfect excuse to let you know my new nicknames for people :D) –

Sim (Infinitesimality) donates 7,999 Cr.
Hum (Selecthumor) donates 12,000 Cr.
Bumbl-B (Bumbling) donates 3000 Cr.
Eggy (Eguias) donates 8,450 Cr.
Penix (Thephoenix) donates 10,000 Cr, and later donates an additional 20,000 Cr.
KB (Knightblood) donates 18,000 Cr.
^17 total tickets because only every 4k counts.

Sim qualifies for 1 ticket, and is assigned the number 1.
^(1/17 chance)
Hum qualifies for 3 tickets, and is assigned the numbers 2, 3 and 4.
^(3/17 chance)
Bumbl-b qualifies for 0 tickets, and I’ll give him a heart-shaped cookie.
^(0/17 chance)
Eggy qualifies for 2 tickets, and is assigned the numbers 5 and 6.
^(2/17 chance)
Penix qualifies for 7 tickets, and is assigned the numbers 7, 8, 9 ,10, 11, 12 and 13.
^(7/17 chance)
KB qualifies for 4 tickets, and is assigned the numbers 14, 15, 16 and 17.
^(4/17 chance)

I enter 1 through 17 in a randomizer, and it picks the number. Now I know that some people might think its better to have a number somewhere in the middle, but this isn’t a guess-the-closest-to or a standardized, multiple-choice test where C is the most probable answer (also how I won that prize from Viggo’s event 😀 ). Using a randomizer, every number is theoretically just as likely to be selected, so don’t mind what number you get. And no, you cannot trade numbers for your lucky number >.>

Which ever number is selected, the corresponding person will be the winner of the lottery! Do whatever you like with the prize money! Punch 80% of it in a vain attempt to get a good UV, buy a friend a 5* recipe, stockpile it, do whatever…except for one thing: If you donate it to a spamming beggar in the Guild Hall, I will never send you heart-shaped cookies. They will be shaped like lumps of coal for supporting terrorism >:O.

As you can see, Penix has a big chance to win the lottery, but he isn’t guaranteed to win. Considering the last few weeks of donations, the lottery will have much wider amount of ticket holders but I hope this clarifies how it’s going to work! If you have any questions, feel free to mail me and I’ll get back to you ASAP. Thanks for the donations!!

This COULD BE YOU!

PS. Donations for this event are WELCOME. *stares at the officers* I’d like to try to get it to become a regular, weekly event.
