Yeah so I was thinking about the good old days when OOO did daily (and hourly) random prizes among every playing knights and it made me thought of this idea.

LOTTERY!!!!

I'm not a huge gambler but I've seen to get amazing luck so I was wondering... Could we have a 2 weeks Lottery? Where you have to buy tickets to win the raffle... You could be creative with prizes, add a little "humph" to those promotions you have...

I would see it sorta left or right of the AH, a little wheel of fortune-ish kiosk with flashy lights and firecrackers around it each time the winner is picked.

So there would be only 1 winner per 2 weeks... (since 1 winner per week may be too much)

500 cr per entry, only 1 per knights, you get a "Lottery Ticket" Usable

The winner has to claim is his prize with the Ticket via the kiosk and only has 24 hours to claim it.

IDK for the prize yet, maybe a cr pot of everyone buying tickets for the winner to win? -53 cr (15%) per person to OOO?

Or some items + 3k cr? Not sure how to properly implement this for prizes...

Enough gambling and getting equipment for dirt cheap.

Stop taking pictures in the toilet after that can of chili last night and flush.

my 2 cents

1 winner per section per week is not what I call dirt cheap... Maybe remove the T3 and T2 section..? or adjust the price? 75k cr for the T3, 38k cr for the T2 and 2k cr for the T1?

Or adjust the prizes?

Edit: or just one section with items 2-3*? hmmm...

Prices

What is the chance of someone winning something?

Like in real life lottery its 2 bucks a ticket and like 1 in a billion chances of winning.
It should depend on how many players are going for the lottery.

Like idk, maybe:
eg:

5k players: 10k for T3 or 2 whatever

And about the winners, how many winners? that could also make the price of ticket vary.

And overall, +1

Stop this gambling. 73k

Stop this gambling.

73k crowns for a 5* weapon?

Sorry but I rather craft it rather than getting it by blind luck.

@ Rexerr The entry fee wouldn't vary according to player participating, however... We could give crowns instead and the jackpot would vary according to participants. 1 winner per section so 3 winners overall. And I was just giving a first shot, the prize could be re-arrange or even taken out, yesterday I just wrote this and after a good night of sleep, I feel it should only be 2-3* items useful items and something rare-ish in it... But nothing that pops out, just a place to gamble...

@Fleet-Miss-Gun It was for 4* items... but yeah it's blind luck, like crafting a 3 UV wolver coat... or getting a mirrored lockbox... or getting a max UV on first go

OOO could use the lottery in event like winterfest and have 1 section instead of 3, just for the event with a decent cr entry fee with promotional prizes in it.

or maybe just go for 1 section, because 3 winners might be too much after a year or two... 312 items put in after 2 years, way to much... 1 winner per 2 weeks with various stratum of prizes (kinda like OOO is already doing with Festiver and Moorcroft boxes)

First of all

Think of how many players are in SK. A lot, right? That means there is the slimest chance you will get a 4 star item. And you have to spend a hellload of cr to get a slim chance? Not a lot of people would risk that.

@Shotjeer I already replied to Luguiru, rexerr and fleet-miss-gun and have decided to change it in my last post but it seems I just have to change my OP because everyone will overlook it, ty for reminding me that ^ ^
