<center>How This Works

Okay... First of all. I got part of this idea from Lady Starwyn's 1 Million Gold Lotto.

With that out of the way... Here is how this lotto will work in difference to hers:

There will be 1,000,000 (1 million) tickets sold. Now, you're thinking 'WTF? 1 million tickets?! That'll take for freakin' ever!'. Yeah. Okay. Let me finish.

The tickets will only cost 2 gold each.

Sounds good, right? Right. That means with 400 gold you can buy 200 tickets. With 1,000 gold you can buy 500 tickets.

Okay. So... That's a 2,000,000 gold earning if you calculated (wasn't hard... 1,000,000 tickets x 2 gold each = 2,000,000 gold earnings.). But now you're like, 'But you said the prize was only 1,000,000 gold?!? Where's the other 1,000,000 gold going to?!?'.

Chill. There are multiple prize pots and chances to win, which are explained in the next post.

Winners will be selected using Randomizer.org.

Teh Awesome Rulez
Read them. Now.

[color=#33CC33]Rules For The Entire Contest:

1.) Do not disobey gaia TOS. Disobey TOS = Out of lotto WITHOUT refund.
2.) No flamming.
3.) Please don't advertise your lotto/quest/or other thread here. If you want to be put on the list, please PM me with the picture and/or link.
4.) No refunds. None. Not even one.

[color=#33CC33]Rules For Buying of Tickets:

1.) Do NOT PM me for buying tickets.
2.) Don't PM me unless you have a specific question not answered here or if you would like to advertise your lotto/quest/or other thread.
3.) Send me the trade with a title of 'Lotto - Fuzzy blue monkey'. If the trade doesn't look like this, I will take your gold without refund and you will NOT be put on the list. No PMing about getting your money back, getting your lotto spots, or the fact that you posted them in the thread. That's not what I said to do. Read all the rules next time.
4.) There are NO refunds. At all. None. Zip. Zero. Ziltch. You ask for a refund, you will be laughed at. End of story.
5.) You may buy as many tickets as you would like.
6.) There is no re-sale of these tickets to anyone else or exchange of spots. You get exactly what you payed for.
7.) I will take trades in the order I recieve them. First come first serve.
8.) I have decided that I will choose your spots. It was getting rediculously hard with people only buying 1 or 2 tickets at a time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[color=#33CC33]Rules For The Bumping Contest:

1.) Number your posts with something like the following: 'Bump 1' or 'Bump #1'. I won't count the bump if it isn't numbered.
2.) Don't even think about cheating. It won't get you anywhere.
3.) Do not quote your bumps past 5. For every time you do, I take away five bumps from your total.
4.) You may enter the bumping contest at any time, but you must start at bump #1.
5.) The contest ends once all the tickets are sold.

<center>Prize Pots

[color=#669933]Lotto Prizes:

First prize - 1,000,000 (1 million) Gold.
Second Prize - 100,000 (1 hundred thousand) Gold.
Third Prize - 75,000 (75 thousand) Gold.

[color=#669933]Bumping Prize:

Most Bumps - 50,000 (50 thousand) Gold.

[color=#669933]Other Prizes:

Most Tickets - 50,000 (50 thousand) Gold.

Mathematics of It All

[color=#336633]Mathematics:

1,000,000 (Tickets) x 2 (Each) = 2,000,000 (Earnings)

2,000,000 (Earnings) - 1,000,000 (First Prize) = 1,000,000 (Earnings Left)

1,000,000 (Earnings Left) - 100,000 (Second Prize) = 900,000 (Earnings Left)

900,000 (Earnings Left) - 75,000 (Third Prize) = 825,000 (Earnings Left)

825,000 (Earnings Left) - 50,000 (Bumping Prize) = 775,000 (Earnings Left)

775,000 (Earnings Left) - 50,000 (Most Tickets Prize) = 725,000 Earnings Left

**Note: I'm thinking about giving away some of the gold to a charity. Something around 50,000 (50 thousand) gold, maybe more. If you have a charity you think is worthy, please submit the link via PM (I might split the gold up between a few charities.). Thank you.**

**Note: Also take into concideration that I am giving away free tickets. =)

Okay. So that leaves 725,000 (725 thousand) gold left, right? Right. What do I plan to do with this you wonder? I will put it toward my quest. My quest (Which can be seen in my signature and also in the 'Other Places to Visit' post, will cost well over 10,000,000 gold. See the perspective now? It's not that much, is it?

<center>Posting can begin should you really feel the need to... Doesn't matter.

I will tell you all, though, that the contest won't get much into swing until after the 24th. whee I have to go camping with my family on the 16th, and don't come back until the 24th. I just wanted to get the coding of the damn posts done before I came back. Go ahead and enter, but do know what's going on in my life.

Yes. I have one... Sort of. xd
