I will activate a new bitcoin lottery in a few days:
offering:
first prize of: 50% of all investments
second prize of: 20% of all investments
third prize of: 10% of all investments

Will put on spreadsheets of the winners each week with their bitcoin address and forename.
Will also run a program to import random number for every friday at 5:00 pm GMT.

Pre signup form will be attached below.

People dont like lottery here, there are so many fail bitcoin lottery already and you will not get anyone to play this. Also your win profit is very high, you take 20 % of the total lottery winning there

I forgot to mention, the ticket price is 0.0001 btc per ticket. That's 10000 satoshi per ticket! So it would cost people around 2pence per ticket.

The point being it does not matter if it is 2 pence or 2000 pence mate as the above said. People do not like lottery here it has been tried many times and 1 or 2 was provably fair. Good luck thoughj.

So 80% of the money would go to the winners and you'd take 20% for just making it happen? My advice: start a decent, provably fair gaming site and don't waste your time doing this crap.

The generation of the random number should be provably fair, for example by using sha(block hash of the first block after 5:00 pm). Also, the 20% fee is too high. But as the above users mentioned, there are very few lottery players here, and it is better for you to make a dice or BJ site instead.

Dice is also like a lottery, instant lottery if you think about it and it has a very low house edge, it's instant, you can play many times within a minute and it's provably fair, now think why would someone want to buy a lottery ticket and wait for the withdrawal when it can be done in so many dice sites instantly?

You are probably thinking the reason why people buy the national lottery and it's because it has a HUGE prize and it costs nothing compared to the prize offered. But this is nothing compared to that and people won't be interested in it at all.

i like lottery but only provably fair lottery.
program to import random number for every friday at 5:00 pm GMT not is provably fair  ;D

Take a look at my site and you might get some ideas. http://bitrevenues.com/ use a provably fair method to select a winner. Dont trust us with our provably fair method? Well, you dont need to deposit any Bitcoin to receive a ticket - in fact, you can't.

This is essentially derailing the conv. IMO, you shouldn't post your own site(with link) on another site's thread, you have plenty of other ways to do it: put it in your signature, put it in your personal message(which you have already done). By doing this you are essentially "stealing" potential participants from the site.

Do you know any still alive provably fair lottery?
