Automated scripts could be the site's achilles' heel. I'm currently evaluating your suggestions and some other ideas to come up with something in the next couple of days. I know it's not possible to find the perfect solution, but I think there's a way to at least limit this problem. Add some noise to the image to make impossible comparing hashes.

Для лучшей защиты от ботов размер приза будет отображатся в виде картинки. Ограничения по количеству обновлений главной страницы полностью сняты!

To better protect against bots quote (prize size) will be displayed as image. Refresh limits cancelled at all!

Example:
I'm registered on the site to view the flower. I'm the first to see it. I click it. A script is generated stating: Congratulations Bruno! You Won the Bitcoin -- Check your email for instructions on how to redeem your Bitcoin. I go to my email and claim my Bitcoin.
Bot watches flower and make request if bounty available, entering your email. You receive letter and redeem Bitcoin.

You could implement a Captcha to stop things like this happening, or possibly some sort of bot check. Chinese kids decaptches it for few cents per thousand.

Getting a 10% discount is not a prize. That's so lame and just screams of CHEAP and SCAM.
Prizes should be freebies with no obligation to 'buy' something to actually get a lame discount on something that was originally overpriced. Most people would know the difference between 'prize' and 'scam' and never return. Totally agree. In Eastern Europe common business practice is to drastically increase price, than advertise big discount, e.g. 90%. It is very disgusting.

I don't really understand the jackpot, but whatever. Free bitcoins!
Jackpot is a big prize which will be paid when we could raise enough funds from advertisers.

You can only claim prize once a day anyway, why would you need to fill out the CAPTCHA more than once a day?
We use CAPTCHA to protect current quote (size of prize) from auto-tracking bots. When our system notices unusual behavior, for some time user must enter security code to request the quote.

Good luck with your business!

or perhaps even give 10 different 0.1BTC rewards instead of a single 1BTC reward to insure that everyone gets a chance. My competing service Dailybitcoins.org works exactly as you suggested. P.S. When your lottery would become popular, you must implement serious anti-bot measures. Currently my free lottery has about 700 unique visitors per day and I spend a lot of time to defend my site from cheaters and block bots. Today I have experienced massive attack from China, CAPTCHA probably had solved manually by poor kids and about 300 fake bounty requests was made. If I would't manually review all payments, my site would go out of business. So think more seriously about security. If you will not do this, your flower will wither very soon!

Эээм... я чуть глупил. Я так понял реклама отображается только у вас на сайте? Именно так.

I used to see loads of different amounts offered on the site, but lately all I see is 0.0005 all the time every time.
Go to the Stats section and you will see that there are always non-booby prizes available. Number of visitors have increased, so catching big bounty became more difficult.

Рекламодателям это понятно. А что на счет вебмастеров? Имеется ввиду предоставление своих площадок для размещения рекламы.
Что конкретно вы имеете ввиду?

randomize the winning link name so it cannot be used twice. My competing project has this protection, also CAPTCHA, IP blacklist and even statistical analyzer. Regardless this bots still trying to cheat me. I give away big number of relative small prizes, so <10% cheat level is tolerable, but you pay only one big bounty per day, which gives big incentive to the bot makers and they can easily destroy your business even with few successful cheat attempts. Another problem is that you give away only one prize per day and all people except one lucky will get nothing, although they have spent much time on your website catching bounty. This fact can disappoint and many of them could lose hope to win and never return again. I would suggest to pay some "booby prize".

I don't see any ads on your site. How do you monetize this service?

На прошлой неделе приходили письма типа: "У вашего объявления (на английском), оплаченного с адреса *** осталось всего 4 неиспользованных клика. При исчерпании баланса реклама не будет отображаться." Сейчас такое письмо не приходит ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Опция или глюк? PS Папку спама на жмайл смотрел, там тоже ничего нет. Я вручную отправлял эти письма. Если рассылать всем рекламодателям автоматически письма с одинаковым текстом они скорее всего начнут попадать в папку "спам". GMail не особо любит такие рассылки.

Jack of Diamonds, I don't know how this fraud classified in U.S., but in most EU countries typical sentence for this crime is suspended prison term for few years and if perpetrator admits guilt he can only get monetary penalty.

how is the timer set? is it 24 hours after last time you did it because it is compalining that I've already did it today but it was definitely yesterday when I tried to.
When you make order your IP, payment address and some other params are being registered along with time mark. When you try to get bounty again we check difference between current time and this time mark, if it is less than 24 hours, your request get rejected.
