Lottery

didnt u read the rule though...that shoulda been mine

Yup, 2 wins in a row, costs you 2X the amount you WOULD HAVE won....

Supr- You can win the lottery as much as you want BUT not 2 times in a row (rule is now in place, all past duplicate winners were exempt). This rule was initially dreamed up by Offy, he thought the wealth should be spread around more... that is all it is, a simple "No 2 weeks in a row winner". Offy's complaint is that not everybody can afford to buy 20 tix each week so they don't have the odds that the big cats (like you) do. BTW- congrats on winning again, you are the lottery king (ok- queen! ;)

Red- The lottery is staggered by a few hours, (think if I can remember?) I programmed it to be like 590000 seconds which is like 6.8287033 days (not quite a full week so the day will gradually change from the lag).

ok i understand...but i cannot help that i win 2 times in a row...u should have it set up so if someone does win twice...then there is a redraw at the end of the day...i shouldnt have to give up my winnings

If you win (and you did) just dont buy tickets until after the next drawing.

You WONT have to give up your winnings (X2) if you dont win twice. Cant win twice if you dotn have tickets.

too hard to remember each time....just make it so that im not in the drawing or something
make an error message come up or something...saying u won last week...play again next time

I wonder if can do that?

[KJ]

Yeah yeah... I can (or could) code it in. But the real question is it worth a couple of hours of programming and debugging afterwards? naa, just remember if you won the prior week don't go in and buy tix the current week (click "history" if you can't remember if you hit the lottery prior) ---and--- penalties are what builds up the reserve bank kitty, we get enough saved up then we open up odds on a game until the penalty funds are gone (and we need penalty funds especially after the last "hot summer poker odds" promotion... it killed our kitty!)

So go ahead Supr... build up the kitty

[Red-85-Z51]

Yeah Suprbean...Buy away....

[nvmyengine]

this is why i always check, btw i think the kitty got emptier cause i won some poker HA

Different till... that one (lose/win pool) is programmed to give out 1.1 to 1 and will always be in the hole (if not then nobody would ever win anything). The kitty is what is taken away by penalties and other numerous accumulations.

So make infractions! we need the kitty to get fat again!

[nvmyengine]

no thanks imperfectily happy keeping the money that i have earned

[KJ]

Just so ya know... you don't have to check the "History" link anymore to see if you won the prior week...
It will say right on the "Buy Ticket" screen who was the last winner. (simple) if it was you, don't buy tix for that week! (or donate to the kitty ;)
