New CPF Daily Lottery!

Brad729 · 06-17-2006, 08:09 PM

We now have a daily lottery! The jackpot is currently $1000CPF and tickets are only $50CPF each. If the idea catches on, we might adjust the jackpot amount and number of available tickets as time goes on,

but let's see how things go here for starters... good luck!

CPF Daily Lottery

06-29-2006: Jackpot now raised to $1000! Drawings held each night around 2:30am EST.

ahh... I was wondering why there was a lottery function, with no lottery tickets available! Now there is! Yay this will be fun!

I hope more people will take advantage of this new feature! Heck, I'll even send you the money for a couple tickets if you don't have any CPF cash! Just send me a private message.

Also, if you want to donate cash for CPF points, there is a link at the bottom of the page. It's only $1 for $100CPF

Is this a daily lottery? Did someone win already?

...Nevermind, I guess it is still in the first one which ends at 1:45ish next morning

Brad729 · 06-18-2006, 08:10 PM

Yeah, I added a few extra hours to this first one, and it's supposed to automatically reset to 24 hours after the first lottery ends. I sure hope we sell a few more tickets before 1:40am. (Eastern Time)

Do you know how many have been sold so far? Or can you not tell us? I'm sure it will catch on in a while! Wait a week or two.

Sure! Every item in the Store has a history you can view. The history is located on the item purchase screen, it will be a link to the right of the page. Click Here

edit: Only two hours before this first lottery ends! Any more takers? CPF Daily Lottery

Oh, woops, I didn't see that! Right now I have 2/9 chance to win, pretty good odds! Two of the ticket buyers are already some of the richest users on here... We need one more buyer or else Brad will have to pay someone $50 out of his own pocket! hehe

I noticed, it appears to have not ended yet. I'll check it again in the morning...

I think it's probably on the Central time zone.

Do you think daily is too often? I used to run one monthly.....
but weekly would be good too.....

Yeppers, we might do a daily and weekly lottery side-by-side, or just a weekly lottery, but this little daily lottery is only for starters, and I thought it would be a good way for the newbies to possibly turn their first $50CPF into a little more.

Also, just giving the software a whirl, since the lottery feature is new.
