**UPDATE: We have now sold 30 million worth of tickets. All further ticket sales will increase the size of the jackpot.
We will be doing a guild lottery with a prize of 85+ million credits! If you wish to participate, please read over the information below.
Step-by-step, this is how it will go:
You have 2 options for purchasing tickets:
Tickets will cost 100,000 credits each. You may buy as many tickets as you want.
Deadline for purchasing tickets is February 13th @ 8:00pm PST.
Depending on the amount of participation we receive, we might make this a regular thing where we do it every month. However, if this turns out to be a failed idea this will be the first and last guild lottery. It's up to you guys whether this is here to stay or not, so participate if you want it to continue!
The masterlist of tickets will be visible to the public. You can view it here.

PROCEDURE:
The lottery will revolve around the use of this random number generator. Buying 1 "ticket" will grant you 1 random number that will be entered into a master list of all tickets. At our next guild event (Feb 13th) we will use the generator to select a winning number. Whichever member has the closest number to the winning one will win the jackpot. Tickets will be sold by officers for 100k each.Step-by-step, this is how it will go:
- Member purchases ticket(s) from an officer.
- After receiving the cost of the ticket(s), officer will then immediately go to the random number generator and set the generator to put out a number between 1 and 100,000.
- Officer will then go to the masterlist of entries on the forum and add member's name + number(s) to the list. (ie. Siino -- 1234, 420, 80076, etc)
- At our next guild event, I'll use the number generator to select a winning number for the lottery. I will then compare this number to all of the ticket numbers and find the one that is closest to our winning number.
- After the officers have confirmed that I'm correct, we'll announce the winner and trade/mail them the jackpot amount depending on whether or not they're present at the event.
BUYING TICKETS:
You have 2 options for purchasing tickets:
- Check the guild list and see if any officers are online. (Caporegime, Underboss, Consigliere, or Godfather ranks designate officers.) If there is an officer online, whisper them and let them know you'd like to purchase ticket(s). The officer will meet you somewhere so you can trade the cost of the ticket(s) to them.
- If there are no officers available, you can send an in-game mail to the character "Ticket-seller" stating the amount of tickets you wish to purchase -- with the cost of them attached to the mail.
Tickets will cost 100,000 credits each. You may buy as many tickets as you want.
Deadline for purchasing tickets is February 13th @ 8:00pm PST.
RULES:
- All ticket sales must go through an officer. Depositing credits into guild bank and saying "hey I got this number and my creds are in gbank" will not be allowed. Transaction with an officer is required in all cases, no exceptions.
- No one is permitted to choose their own numbers. We will keep everything completely random.
- To remain eligible to win, you must have at least one character present within the guild on the night of the event. Anyone who quits or gets permanently banned will have their tickets removed with them.
- There is no limit to the amount of tickets that can be purchased. You can buy 1 ticket or you can buy 1 million tickets, whatever you can afford.
- No discounts, loans, paying later, etc. In order to get ticket for the lottery, you must personally pay the full price of 100k per ticket to an officer prior to any number being added to your name on the forum.
- Deadline for purchasing tickets is February 13th @ 8:00pm PST.
- Officers will not be allowed to participate.
- If there is an extreme lack of participation, we reserve the right to cancel the lottery. Any and all ticket sales will be fully refunded with an extra bonus on top.
- If the total amount of tickets sold exceeds 30 million credits, we will add the extra credits onto the jackpot amount. More tickets = bigger jackpot.
- We will not use duplicate numbers. If the number generator gives out a number that someone else already has, we will simply generate another number.
- In the event of a tie, the win will go to the higher number. (Example: Say the winning number is 100. Guildie-1 has 95 and Guildie-2 has 105. Although both people are equally as close to the winning number, Guildie-2 is higher so they will win.)
Depending on the amount of participation we receive, we might make this a regular thing where we do it every month. However, if this turns out to be a failed idea this will be the first and last guild lottery. It's up to you guys whether this is here to stay or not, so participate if you want it to continue!
