I saw this event on other game's forum and it was like: people give 10m coins per entry to any staff and they have total of 3 entries. People pay and then wait till lottery will end. Staff will have everytime list with people, bought "tickets", and then, when lottery ends, staff use random org and choose numbers between (for example 1-40). random org choses 25 and a player, who is numbered 25 will get prize and etc.
prizes can be like: p, s, r efs, jack head, deadkitten 1yr, blockhead 1yr, liger 1yr, metojack, hallo ef 2, hallo ef, darkbot, walker bro, double blade merc, halloween sets, metosets and all that stuff. that sounds too much for just a lottery, but that's the point, it can
maybe bring more people into game and more people to come back. And make staff more active to accept donations and gigas
Lottery thread can look something like this:
Hello and welcome to the official Bout Cheetah lottery
Each week or so first, second and third place winners will be chosen at random, using a random number generator (Random.org).
This lottery is community based, and all entry money goes to the week's winners, so nobody makes money off of this except for the winners.
If you end up winning, you have exactly 7 days to claim your prize; if you fail to do so, your prize will be recycled and used in the next lottery.
Each entry ticket costs (your choise how much) i recommend like 1-3m
If you would like to enter your name more than once, you may buy up to 3 tickets, (your choise how much) i recommend like 1-3m
If you would like to enter talk to either one of these people:
Admin Allie
Admin Santa
Admin Selene
Admin Yz
GM MedChill
GM Oreos
GM RK
GM Max
GM Meteor
Mod Cooky
FM Toast
FM Vish
FM Hawk
When you talk to them about entering, pay them for the amount of entry tickets you are buying, and tell them which available number(s) you would like.
If any of the numbers you have chosen are already taken, depending on the circumstances, you will be given a new, random number.
Unless the person you have talked to has the power to edit your name into the list, they will ask someone that does.

A few mistakes in your suggestion
1) People won't join the game for a lottery "can maybe bring more people into game and more people to come back"
2) If the rewards are spawned it will mess up the economy even more, especially if you add items that are not availabe in the store (but you didnt suggest that so its ok)
3) Instead of staff with random org it's 10000x better to just make it an automatic system, takes like 10 minutes to program if not less.
add more rare/op items into game

so basically 10x as much as bc. This game has almost no players anymore, and you're just saturating it with too many OP items. Where in your other game would be more spread out and balanced because there are many players.
Adding more rare to the game makes em not rare any more.
As metorium, it was rare, now it isn't.

shut up dude, stop defending the 12 year old with strong opinions. if he wants to speak for himself and say stupid things he can also defend himself lol
but yeah nah the lottery suggestion is suggested
all the time and yours is the worst one so far since u want rare/op items to be a part of it
I still don't get it, so I need to pick a number & get a free Liger ?
Qolder, I like the idea of a lottery system, as was suggested and asked for many times before.
The only thing bad is that you have the idea in your mind of paying a few items or gigas, and within a few weeks, win a perm liger, or a meto set, etc..
That's not how lotteries work.
In big playerbased-games, lotteries work like so:
You pay a looooot of money, up to the point where it'd almost have been better to just buy the perm jackpot item rather than investing in lottery tickets, and you still wouldn't have won the prized item.
Lotteries are made to make people invest money into making them believe they can win the big prize, while the chances of that are less than 1%.
Should you think of a better prize system, then please post that, as I'm pretty sure that'll get more support and positive feedback, than just someone else trying to invent something that we've all heard and seen before to gain some good, expensive, OP or rare items.
