your idea is really good.
I would suggest decreasing the grid size( with 100 squares), in the beginning, it would be good to start with small size, once it becomes more popular you could increase the size of the grid.
and how do you generate a random number?
To increase the number of users, recommended doing some giveaways in games and round section.
Thanks

Hi Everyone,
As the nights draw in, I have been spending my evenings working on a little project to raffle 1 BTC. I would love to get some feedback.

The idea
The idea, I think, is fairly simple. A grid is divided into3000 999 squares or "stakes". Players can purchase a stake for 0.00035 0.0015 BTC. Once all 3000 999 stakes are purchased a random stake is selected and its owner receives the 1 BTC prize.
Keeping it safe and trustworthy
As all payments are sent to the same address, the blockchain is used to prove inbound and outbound payments. All payments and payouts are sent via BTC so there is no need to signup, the BTC address that deposited funds acts as the players id and the payout address.
Feedback
I would really appreciate any community feedback on the site!
Do you think this would benefit from being secure (SSL)?
How should go I about encouraging users to visit the site?
Thanks everyone.
[EDIT]
03/10 - Based on the comments from the community to have more prizes or a lower winning point, I have added "MileStakes" to the grid. These are points in the game where an ever increasing milestake prize gets raffled to all current players. There are multiple milestakes so a single player has multiple chances to win. I will explain in more detail below.
03/10 - To speed up the game the grid has been decreased to 999 stakes @ 0.0015 BTC each
03/10 - The random winner is now calculated based on the hash of the last transaction. The last 3 numeric characters are concatenated and the result is the winning stake. This creates a provably fair winner.
