Hey people,

I was wondering, would you be interested in a bitcointalk.org lottery?

I didn't saw any and I'd like to organize one.
It could be a rather easy daily thread. Every day you can come and buy any amount of tickets you want at 0.01 btc then we could draw a number. Or maybe do it on a larger scale to have bigger prizes!

I'm totally willing to organize this  and I could send enough funds to a trusted escrow so you can be sure I'm not going to run away with the coins xD
Like if I escrow 1 btc it means I could sell until 1 btc worth of tickets without you to be worried of me running away!

The only problem I got is that I could still play with an alt and then make enough dran on random.org to make me win, so does anyone have an idea on how I could draw a random number and prove every one it was a true random unique draw and not my 56th try to draw my number? ^^

If anyone is interested don't hesitate to answer in the thread or pm me Smiley
i would like a bitcointalk lottery but only with small bits , about 0.001BTC per ticket will be a good price , also should be allowed just 1 ticket for every member , maybe 2 or 3 but no more

I think having a small-pot/small entry fee lottery might be an interesting thing to add and something that I might participate in, but there would definitely have to be a lot of trust with the host of the lottery and they would have to prove themselves (or have proven themselves at some point in the past) if we ever wanted to see something like this work. It might be possible, but there are a lot of variables and thing associated with everything.

I think the gambling community of this forum will be more interested about a bitcointalk lottery, because they are already fans of gambling and lotteries, it would be great idea for them

Yes it will be great to open some lottery here. The problem is how are they going to pick up the winner and how will it go? Because people need some provably fair system not something that only hold for a while. Let say if they manage to open some lottery, will it last long enough to let people get some money or they will just keep eating our balance without some provably system

that would be a problem, the peoples needs  a proof of how winner is chosen, because the organizer of the lottery could create a fake account and say that he won

Depending on the type of lottery, I would be game for it!!  Please post more information about the lottery on here so we can keep updated.  Also if you are the one designing this, please make it fun and exciting.  I am so tired of same old thing, over and over.

I have not seen to many lotteries going on here for bitcoin yet.  Does anyone know of any lotteries that are currently going on which are based on an outside source, such as the power ball (in the united States) or anything like that?

Yeah i also like the lottery idea, but i doubt about the prize and the provably fair system, if someone can convince me about those things and the lottery price is not expensive maybe i will try it, but i dont see many lottery games here, maybe not many people interested in it

I think this is a goog idea, lottery in bitcointalk can make all users to participate and active in this forum. So, this forum will be the best bitcoin forum as specify and general forum. The problem is every time the same, not only provably fair but confidence to the owner (about like and dislike).

I think addicted gamblers will love a lottery of this forum. Other lotteries here did not have success and failed in very short time. Personally I am not interested as I am becoming more of a reasonable gambler and following news and tipsters on soccer bets. But let's see maybe this lottery of yours can be something unique although I don't believe it will be different from the others before.

Most of lottery price is not expensive but you really need to buy a lot so that you can win that amount though. Because they need to take some percentage for them too, the more you buy the higher payout will be and they will earn a lot too. Let say 1 btc price and 1% they take it will be 0.01btc. That is like free money for them though

Yeah your right, and in my opinion i think only few people here are interested on some lotteries its because people used to gamble on those casino where they used to get fun and excitement right there, aswell as people might gonna find this confusinh since the chances to win in lotto is very low, So OP if you find it unique and well be good to run well let the game rolling, but don't expect to much that people will like this idea.

I think that there are allot of people would be interested and that is because there are so many people gambling with bitcoins and not just a couple of them are gambling with allot but everyone who gambles ends up with allot of losses in money lottery would help them do it even more.

Lottery is totally different from ordinary gambling because it has very low odds as compare with other forms of gambling, lottery has no charm for so many people because of very smart chance of winning, people want instant result and bigger odds of winning even lottery has so big prizes but normal casinos has a lot of attraction to play there.

It would be fun , and how about limit the participant to 10 max only with 0.01 ticket .
So the winner will won 0.1 , what do you think?
For me it would depend on how much a ticket will cost and how much how could make off it because if I do not like the prizes I will not take place in it.
it would be a fun new experiment tho so they should try it out.
