Finished [Moderate] The Great Gamble

One of many posters at the message board at the Crossroads reads:

"In honor of our Lord of Luck, Winner of All Gambles, and Father Wealth, there will be held a lottery. In some respects inspired by the recent supposed fading of ours gods, intending to rejuvenate some form of prayer by gambling. Moreso, this is just a more bog standard attempt at praise by organizing a worldwide raffle. Twenty thousand Radiants is the promised total, and each ticket costs a thousand each. Send it by courier, or be around after I've made the tickets and have come to sell them.

Nwalme."

OOC:

Tl;dr Nwalme swindled his way into twenty thousand Radiants to finance his attempt at a lottery. Think of this as "Powerball: Altera Edition." You can buy as many as you'd like, they cost 1k Radiants, and the grand prize is 20k Radiants. You can buy as many as you'd like, but it'd be a bit odd to buy more than nineteen, since as that you're point you're just donating to me. It costs real fake internet money, and you'll get real fake internet money in return. If this goes well, and Nwalme makes enough to pay back his investors, I'll make another one of these with more money to win.

Rules:

I'll claim a post below this one, and record ever raffle sold by number, from 1 to however many end up getting sold. Then I'll go in game, and roll the appropriate die. Whoever has the ticket with the number the die lands on ends up getting the 20k, plus 20% of the total cost of all the tickets sold.

Date:

I'll try to be in game fairly often between now and March 1oth, when I'm planning on seeing who the winner is. I'm gonna say that on the 10th, no more raffles will be allowed to be bought, and instead that day will just be devoted to rolling for the winner.

Acquiring tickets:

Either post on this thread with how many you've decided to buy, and then screenshot evidence of you sending the money to my 'BLargtheAwesome' account, and I'll tack you onto the thread with the appropriate number of tickets assigned to your name. Or, message me and come to Riseport to procure your tickets more icly. Or, bump into Nwalme ig while I'm bumming around the Xroads.

Good luck everyone.

Because your computer's broke I can't make you get ig and send me money, but you're a bro so I trust you to give me a measly 1k once your computer's fixed.

I didn't do it for the 'Gram, I did it for Gotham
If I buy 100 tickets, surely there's no possible way for me to lose this lottery.

deminishing returns. though purchasing 20 tickets would get you your money back if you won plus the 20% of monies from tickets purchased for event.
