Title: Raffle Tickets (for sale)
Post by: ct959 on April 30, 2011, 06:34:30 PM
Okay. I'm going to try something new.

Buy a raffle ticket at 0.01 bitcoins apiece (you can get 0.05 coins from the faucet.), and get your friends to participate too, so that we can actually have a jackpot to win....(put raffle ticket in the message)
On June 1st, I'll draw the winners. #1 will get 40% of profits, #2 will get 15%, #3 will get 10%, #4 will get 5%, and #5 will get 2%.
Yes, the more tickets you buy, the higher chance of winning you have.

-If 10 people buy a ticket, the first place winner will get 0.04 bitcoins. (4x your ticket price)
-If 20 people buy a ticket, the first place winner will get 0.08 bitcoins. (8x your ticket price)
-If 50 poeple buy a ticket, the first place winner will get 0.20 bitcoins. (20x your ticket price)
-If 100 people buy a ticket, the first place winner will get 0.40 bitcoins. (40x your ticket price)



The price to enter is so small (1 bitcent) that i think it's worth a try, dont you?
The only way you're going to win any money is by spreading the word and by getting people to buy tickets. (I recommend you buy 2 for yourself)

Send ticket money to 12jQTHCWF6r8kU36DjTCjtzpPyAwHzp7Bv    (put raffle ticket in the message)
Donations to the raffle are also appreciated.

Great that the entry is so cheap. Means the winnings will be lower too though.
Remember there is also BitLotto - so far the winner in a few days is going to win over 110 BTC.

Problems I see though:
-no mention of how you are picking the winner -how are you guaranteeing you are being fair?
-the way you are instructing the players to enter, some will lose their money, and you will have no idea who's money it is
-not all people can put "raffle" in "the message". How are you telling what's a raffle ticket and what's a donation?

Anyways good luck. (Seems pretty similar to BitLotto! )
