Introducing World Wide Lottery Using Bitcoins

[gordoh]

Gee, you guys are relentless. You don't even give them a chance. Is it just because its a newbie account? Or do you really think that it is a scam? I mean they cant exactly scam me if im using free tickets so why not?

It's just a really shitty site, major indicator of a scam.

If  they're legit I wanna see #bitcointalk on a pic next to their lottery machine in the next 24 hours.

That's a fair request. If everything is legit, then surely they can take a photo of their machine with #bitcointalk written next to it. That will put a few minds at ease. And it would help them promote the idea. Also, Perhaps revamp the website. You can get a web developer cheap nowadays. But I'm still hoping this site is legit, it could be really successful if done correctly.

holy shit i just read in that wall of text that you spent TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS on that site?!?


Your friends robbed you buddy. That site is garbage and I could get a freelancer to do better for $50

  dude, your an idiot, you have no idea how complex the backend is, we have so many custom algorithms to automate everything... let's see if your "friend" (which you probably have no real ones, just all your little cyber buddies) can develop a system where the winning numbers can be entered and the system can instantly look through hundreds of thousands or even millions of ticekts and automatically find all the winners, and then pay them out exactly what they've won depending on the pot and how many other people got the same win (say 4 numbers out of 5)


 Anyway MrPiggles, if you don't want to play, that's fine, can you please get out of my thread.

haha fair enough, i will post a pic no problem...  and you guys really don't understand what we are going for here, WE WANT it to look simple and like it is designed for "kids" .  take a look at one of the most successful lotteries in the world, the California lottery....   http://www.calottery.com/   we based our off of their because they are extremely familiar to people and they are more successful than any online casino.. to those of us who are technologically advanced might look for a more "modern" feel...  But in 2 years Btc will be mainstream, my target demographic are the people who make the lottery thrive no awadays, the poor...
  So you guys can sit there and think about developing some fancy site with all this complex stuff... you will confuse your average joe, but World Super Lotto, no we are straight forward and try and make it as EASY as possible...

HAHA!! Exactly! Free tickets, you HAVE NOTHING TO lose! and if you have fun with the first drawing then you can come play as often as you like for less than the equivalent of 1 USD...   Thanks Gordoh !

First, is this Provably Fair?

   
   Why don't you guys read the FAQ before asking these kid of questions... Provably fair is for random number generated results, we are using a traditional style ball drawing using a jet powered ball mixing machine that meets the standards os the World Lottery Association

So your answer is that you can't prove that the draw is fair? You will, of course, have that ball mixing machine inspected, audited and certified, right?

I could design a lottery that used actual results from the powerball or mega millions, or even a local country lottery, and it would be provably fair.

I just posted a few pics, one of them shows the control panel and has the name of the manufacturer on their, they make lot's of lotto machines for many mega lotteries around the world... 

  I would be willing to have someone inspect the machine, know anyone that can do that?

  But tell me, beacuse it doesn't make sense to me, how a machine like this could be rigged...   let's say we sell 100,000 ticket for a drawing.... there is going to be every number combination in those 100,000 tickets... so when you think about rigging a drawing like this, tell me how it might be done and why...    if you can explain this to me, maybe i can help answer this question better.

[MrPiggles]

wow op delivered.

apologies for my aspersions

Good job! Well done!

We'll watch your live drawings (I can't, but it's probably going to be saved right? like on youtube or some other video site?)

Have you seen the movie "Lucky Numbers"? Starring John Travolta. There were weighted balls, so that is one way of rigging the game.

If you're going to copy real world lotteries, you do the whole thing, I mean, the showing the audience the balls, etc.

Good luck. (I mean it.)

Thanks for your tips, we are going to make this as professional of a production as possible! We will show all the balls in the top loader and zoom in on them so you can see they are all there. I think if the balls were weighted down you would be able to see them not flying around like the ones that weren't...  I have an idea how to prove the balls are weighted correctly each time, can weigh all the balls on a scale and it should be the same each time, show you the weight of each ball individually then multiply it be 40... might be small difference due to manufacturing...    I'm open to ideas.. i want to PROVE this is fair, and honestly we want to be around for a long time and do things right!
   To prove it is live our host will hold a tablet infornt of the screen and load and time and date website that shows the exact time and date globally, i will then load a btc analysis page showing the exact price of BTC at that moment...
   still open to more/better ideas...

   You guys have seen the commercial? that was not  cheap, wait until you see the opening clip for the live drawing, it is very cool and again not very cheap... The back end is so complex...  We have all put in SOOOOOOO much work and money to do this right... We want to earn the trust of everyone and with all your help, be the best lottery in the world...   

  And yes we will load the recordings of the video on to our Youtube channel

Thanks for being supportive, i have emailed you your code, can you please confirm that you got it?!     
 
  Also if you would give me any comments or feedback regarding your experience picking tickets and checking out, that would be greatly appreciated!

[gordoh]

I got the code. Im just trying to figure out where to put it in. I cant seem to find it.

ok, so this needs to be better implemented on our end since a few users have been unclear with this. you enter the coupon code on the preview/review page after you pick all your numbers, above the snapshots of your tickets there is a box to enter the code, just put it in and then hit continue/next on the bottom of the page, it will be automatically applied, you don't have to use the free plays then if you want to pay with btc...
   if you don't use them right away you can look in your account and you should see them in your account section.
  Please let me know if this helps, i think we will edit this to put the coupon code on the checkout page with a button next to it that says "apply" or whatever, to make things more clear.

[gordoh]

I was looking in the add funds section, that is where I was expecting it to be. But yea it definitely needs to be somewhere that the users can find it.

[gordoh]

Okay so heres some feedback:

I managed to find the place to put my coupon number in, and I got the 2 free lines that the coupon entitled me to get. Then I couldn't figure out which button to press in order to use the coupons instead of my own BTC, so I pressed the checkout button, expecting there to be an option on the following page which would give me a choice of whether I wanted to use my BTC or free lines. Unfortunately it didn't go the way I expected. Once I pressed the checkout button, the ticket was bought and my BTC was deducted. I think you guys should look at this and maybe try make it clearer to the user.

I hope nobody on the development team takes this to heart, I believe that constructive criticism is necessary in order to perfect ones work.
