Well i woke up this morning and a random idea popped in my head. New York Lotto is a company in new york state ( where i live) that does the lottery, i was thinking of implementing that into New york system. Example on how it would work

Lotto tickets sold for 10 mil ( a post will be made and once you paid 10 mil you can reply with 5 numbers 1-30)

I will randomly draw numbers from a bucket or something and the winning numbers will be posted.

People with hmm lets say 2 or more out of the 5 numbers will be given some of the money. Ex. 150 mil person with 2 numbers right get.. 20-25 mil. Person(s) who got all 5 numbers correct will receive 150 mil or whatever it is.

Just a random idea i had.. Opinions?
Just a Quick Note..
5 Numbers. 1 - 30?!

Remember that there aren't so many New Yorks that have 10mill to gamble away and 5 Numbers 1 - 30.. What are the odds in that?

I would suggest something more like 2 Numbers 0 - 9 that way there is still a massive 1 in 100 chance of winning..
(Odds taken from quick note. Don't quote me on this:P)
Yea, well like i said just an idea:Pmaybe 1-10? and anyone in Sirius could do it, the drawing would just be held in new york as well as ticket purchasing
And with the money that is left over?
Well it will be divided
Ahh I see, was a bit confused at first.
Dont devide it... do you think that NYL devides the money that is left over. You keep it, make the pay-off higher for the next round.

I like the idea although i would love to see how it actually works:)
Well, pipboy had a great idea for Hogosha, it's the same as yours, just a lot before you.
He even made a Casino ship.
But i haven't seen him online for a long time:(
Well,
I would rather see my money in the hands a a trusty player like sdssn!p3r. Who is online allot of the time so you can yell at him if he does a runner:P
(No offense meant)

And I am sure the Net worth of the LSF covers any losses that could be Made XD!!!

I'm with you on this one. Make the payout higher. Imagine... 199bill just waiting to be won... *Sigh*

Oh and one more thing. You aren't wanting any "Fee's" Now are you?
Hmm looks to me more like server lottery, then New York lottery....

Anyway here are statistics on 2 numbers out of 10

You want to calculate your odds at winning the lottery given:

* You must choose a sequence of 2 numbers correctly to win.
* The lowest number you can choose is 1
* The highest number you can choose is 9
* A given number can only be chosen once per try (per lottery ticket, etc.)

When you select your 1st number, you have 9 numbers to choose from, and a 1 in 9 chance of picking the right one.
(Mathematically, 1 in 9 is represented by the numerical fraction 1/9 or 0.111111 %)

When you select your 2nd number, you have 8 numbers to choose from, and a 1 in 8 chance of picking the right one.
(Mathematically, 1 in 8 is represented by the numerical fraction 1/8 or 0.125000 %)

So by that numbers if more then 36 players would choose difrent numbers one would win for sure or player has chance of 1/36 to win
