Dragon Army Lottery!

Sick of losing the Jumbo Cactpot every week (Except you Buzz…LOL)? Want to gamble your life away some more? Enter the weekly FC lotto in honor of D.A.'s 2nd Anniversary!

This lottery will begin on 8/2/2016 and end on 10/11/2016. If it proves to be popular, I will make it a permanent practice.

Lottery Entries will begin on 8/2/2016, and will be drawn every week following. In other words, entries submitted from 8/2/2016 - 8/15/2016 will be drawn on 8/16/2016. Entries must be submitted by 11:59PM EST every Monday before the drawing.

How to Enter:
1. Deposit 10k in the FC chest (New Players will get a special rate, see Vaspera for details)
2. Enter 4 UNIQUE numbers from 1 - 25 into the thread for that week.
3. Pick one bonus number from 1 - 10 and put it in the same post.

How to Win:
Super Grand Prize (All Four Numbers + Bonus Number) - All of the money from the entries that week and any past weeks if no one won. Plus, a special gift from Vaspera!

Grand Prize (All Four Numbers) - All of the money from the entries that week and any past weeks if no one won.

Match 3 Numbers - Get back 7.5k of your entry.

Match 2 Numbers - Get back 5k of your entry.

Match 1 Number - Get back 2.5k of your entry.

No Match - Sorry, try again next week. :(

Bonus Number Only: Get back your entry in full!

Matching Numbers (Any) + Bonus Number: 10k + Whatever value the matching numbers were worth. Example: 2 Matching Numbers + Bonus Number = 15k.

What if I want to sweeten the pot for everyone?
If you want to make the value higher and make it fun for everyone, deposit your contribution and post in the "Pot Sweetener" thread how much you've contributed. Everyone will love you for it!

What if no one wins this week?
Whatever money remains from the previous week will roll over into the next week as a the grand prize.

For Example: If 10 people enter the first week and no one wins, that's 100k in the Jackpot Bank. If 15 people enter the following week, that's 250k in the Jackpot Bank. So if someone wins that second week, they will get the full 250k there.

What if no one wins by the Anniversary?
I will find a way to use the money for another contest that will immediately follow the anniversary, or we will continue the lotto.

Vaspera, how do we know this isn't rigged?
What fun would it be if it was? I'll be using a random number generator, and won't participate myself. I will try to find a way to prove that it isn't rigged otherwise.

UPDATE: I will record my screen as I do the number drawing and post the video with the numbers. If I get the same number twice while rolling, I will re-roll. Allowing the use of duplicate numbers will decrease the odds of winning too much.

TEMPORARILY UPDATED CHANGES:

Please read the following and rules have changed:

In honor of the anniversary just a few weeks away, I have made a few changes.
Now when you buy one set, you get one set free to increase your chances of winning. I am also decreasing the range selection from 1 - 25 to 1 - 15 to increase the odds even further.

So here are the new rules:

For every set you buy (to a maximum of five), you get 1 free! (So that brings you up to five sets of numbers total per week.)

Each set should be four unique numbers from 1 - 15. Your bonus number should be from 1 - 10.

Remember that if you buy one set, you should provide two sets of numbers. If you buy two sets, you should provide four sets of numbers. And so on.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
