Introducing... BitLucky.org (http://www.bitlucky.org)

A new Bitcoin lottery with no minimum entry price (well, 1 Satoshi  8)) and no fees!

• The first draw will take place on: Friday 9th Sept. at 23:59 UTC/GMT (18:59 ET)
• The prize pool is currently: 1.6547505 BTC (~$13.07)
• The week 1 address is: 11epCFzxymwbbz4Qae1rtgYdn1M9WEkv4 (http://blockexplorer.com/address/11epCFzxymwbbz4Qae1rtgYdn1M9WEkv4)

The first 10 people to enter the lottery will receive 0.2 BTC as a thank-you  :) (please post in the forum to confirm when you have entered)

You must send funds using the Bitcoin client (not an eWallet) so that prizes can be returned to you!

Why no fees?
The costs involved are too small to warrant taking a percentage of the prize pool  :) Hopefully donations will cover the small costs involved with hosting the domain and updating the site.

How do you select a winner?
The total prize pool (in Satoshi's) is used as the number of "tickets". A ticket is selected at random using Dice Hash (http://bitlucky.org/dicehash.html) and the USA Lottery numbers as the random seed.

How much does the winner get?
The winner gets the entire prize pool. It is sent back to the address that they used to enter the lottery with (hence the need to use the Bitcoin client and not an eWallet!). In future draws the prize pool may be distributed to more people. This would be announced before the draw takes place.

This is all great, how do I enter?
Using the Bitcoin client, send the amount of Bitcoins that you wish to gamble with to the address for that week (p.s. the week 1 address is 11epCFzxymwbbz4Qae1rtgYdn1M9WEkv4). The more Bitcoins you send, the higher your chance of winning!

If you have any questions please fire away and good luck  :)

Mines better ;)

It certainly looks great  :) Do you take a % from the prize pool? A bit of competition never hurt anybody  ;D I like your countdown timer... may add that feature to my site if you don't mind :P

the first 5 rounds were 100% payback, but now i removed the smallpot, put up the jackpot, added instant wins and a rolling jackpot. i guess its still 100% payback though.

sure have the count down timer. its not mine anyway

Update: the first 10 people to enter the lottery get 0.2 BTC as a thank-you  :) Please post in this thread when you have entered.

Send.  :)

Thanks, where do you want the 0.2 BTC sent?

Thank you. :)

lol..

Sent.

You can send the 0.2 back to the address I sent from (14yTB7UpBAxDVEnQP2YL5f9TuQtWBpKMCy).

Would seem to me your best bet is to send to the first 10 addresses you receive from - as otherwise you have no way of knowing whether people who claim to have sent actually did.

Sent  :) (from 1FTgxMpcLfs58SFRxnMp1U3kZpo3QpfSri)


Yeah that was silly of me, I will be doing it that way in future!


Sent  :) (from 1FTgxMpcLfs58SFRxnMp1U3kZpo3QpfSri)

I just placed a bet. Please send my .2BTC back to 17fWXp1Nc46x3CZ6oDQshgTMzTC9bVFUw2
Thanks!

Done  :) Good luck!

The website only works on Google Chrome at the minute  >:(

Still 1.6 BTC to claim  :)

I just placed a 0.1995 BTC bet from 12JUnqccHqpN611qojkQzBhnCMP6n73Vqf

0.19905 from somewhere... 1BRofPjXVwsMKQ74dMpjcPrDNdvHAAf1Jy same or 1qdiz ...

Can confrim I received my 0.2BTC bonus.

Sure (http://blockexplorer.com/address/12JUnqccHqpN611qojkQzBhnCMP6n73Vqf)?

Shit.  I don't know which address I sent it from then.  My client says I sent 0.20 (0.1995 + 0.0005 fee) to 11epCFzxymwbbz4Qae1rtgYdn1M9WEkv4, but I don't know which sending address.  

EDIT: Nevermind.  I sent it from 16g6FaTM7ktKyx2GpX8D9HPCBPwTSisHsq

16g6FaTM7ktKyx2GpX8D9HPCBPwTSisHsq maybe, atleast that amount shows up from there...

0.2 BTC sent to you both  :)

Yeah that was it.  (I edited my other post just as you posted this one)

Still 1.0 BTC to claim, just enter the lottery from as little as 1 Satoshi and post on this thread to receive your free 0.2 BTC :)

Sent 0.3BTC from 1KQk8GGzoSF1s1XPsjKENHN6aEpMrpKw55.

Thanks, I have sent you 0.2 BTC in return. Good luck :)

Hi BitLucky,

I sent 0.2BTC from 15s6GBiUEj3dDXkQ1CeqatxoAYHtEXDDQv

Sure (http://blockexplorer.com/address/15s6GBiUEj3dDXkQ1CeqatxoAYHtEXDDQv)? These are the entries so far (http://blockexplorer.com/address/11epCFzxymwbbz4Qae1rtgYdn1M9WEkv4)... 0.2 BTC has just been received but not from that address. I can only send back to the original address.

I think it's important to note that the current official bitcoin client doesn't allow the user to choose which addresses your transactions come from. That's why that data isn't available when you look at the transaction details in your client. Often no one address in your wallet will have a large enough balance to cover a transaction, so the BTC will be debited from multiple. If you send the BTC to whatever shows up on blockexplorer, if the sender is using their own client, then they will receive the BTC.

I just invested 0.1337 BTC into this lottery and you can send the bounty to whatever shows up in blockexplorer. :)

Thanks for playing - I have sent you 0.2 BTC :)

I will only send payments back to the address Blockexplorer gives. It would be helpful if people could post when they have entered so that (for the first few draws at least) the winner can be identified.

I have sent 0.2 BTC to the address Blockexplorer has given (1569C2NtYARiH3jWtQWxmY5MGvDqEqxrXA) - this should be you.

Hi BitLucky,

You are correct; I got my addresses mixed up. Sorry for the confusion.

I received 0.2BTC to 1569C2NtYARiH3jWtQWxmY5MGvDqEqxrXA.

Thank you,

Still 0.4 BTC to claim, just enter the lottery from as little as 1 Satoshi and post on this thread to receive your free 0.2 BTC :)

Just sent 0.2 plus 1 Satoshi  ;D , so 0.20000001

Haha would be funny if that Satoshi won the draw  ;D I will forward 0.2 BTC to you once Britcoin is working again.

Sent you a 0.2 BTC bonus, good luck :)

I have just selected a winner using the USA Mega Millions and Powerball Lottery Results (http://www.lotteryusa.com/) and Dice Hash (http://bitlucky.org/dicehash.html):

SELECTING 1 OUT OF 186475051
Input string, SHA-1 hash, Hash as decimal, Selected value, Is repeat

N.Olmos wins because he sent BTC # 1.37973080 (block explorer (http://blockexplorer.com/address/11epCFzxymwbbz4Qae1rtgYdn1M9WEkv4))  :)

The jackpot (1.86475051 BTC) will be sent to you shortly  :)

Thanks to everyone for playing!
