Title: Item request: Lotery
Post by: CRONUS on January 04, 2007, 05:51:05 pm
I'm not good at coding but thought it might be interesting :)
Let's say some users buy a "ticket" or more with random numbers (money goes to lotery bank) and then every week (ex. every sunday) some random numbers are selected. If user has a ticket with 3 or more matching numbers, he gets some % from bank. If there are more than one user, they get equaly.
There also should be some kind of info page where you coud check how many ticket are sold (before lotery) and what numbers were and who won (after lotery).
I think this item would require a package and a cron job (not sure cause i'm not good at coding)
What do you think about that? :)

Tried to explain it simple, but sorry for my english ;)

one more thing :)
if there're too little tickets bought (less than 10 or 20 < Admin should set this) the lotery is suspended till next sunday (or whatever day is set in acronjob) :)

Nice idea...

You could also do it so every person who buys a ticket -- their money goes into a lottery pot, and the winner gets all.

I think that should be as an option ;)

An option? Wouldn't that be the only way it could work...?


cuz really... That's how it works right now...

You might want to consider a Tax on the lottery ticket as well

A small portion of the ticket cost is either put some where out of the way or forgotten about

That way, instead of a large sum of the total forum money is not lumped about, instead it is taken down a peg, and the winner is still happy and non the wiser.

good idea. i'll make that an option... ^^
Title: Re: Item request: Lotery
Post by: brianjw on June 29, 2007, 07:10:25 am
so, whos making this?
Title: Re: Item request: Lotery
Post by: feildmaster on July 17, 2007, 11:14:14 am
I am... and its slow work... With all the other things I am doing... ^^

I figure I am 60% done with the workings of it and 40% done in total... (haven't made much other than most of the workings and the display of everything)

I am going to make it it's own package and mod. Something that can use SMF shop and also doesn't need to if you don't want it to. (will come with a stand alone points system along with the shop bridge)

Well, you can always use the one that I completed last week. You can find it at http://projectyami.com/forums/index.php?board=3.0

very nice i'm gonna test now. props.

also haven't seen this posted anywhere else you should post it in the completed (if you're finished with it) modifications section here

http://www.daniel15.com/forum/index.php/board,30.0.html

that way everyone can find it easily as no doubt this thread will get lost
Title: Re: Item request: Lotery
Post by: YamiKaitou on October 25, 2007, 04:40:56 am
Yeah, true. I will post it there. Everything that I wanted for it is done (for the most part), but I am allowing people to request new features to be added to the mod. I think I was going to post it there earlier and just forgot about it, lol

Very nice! Thank you!

One request would be that everyone can see a list of everyone who has purchased tickets for each drawing and how many each person has purchased.
