No the drawing is Sunday people will get in by than
Let's hope so. I like the idea, and I'm sure you can do a lot more with it.
Just thinking there should be some sort of initial jackpot. The jackpot for the next round can be something like 5% deducted from the previous pot. Might encourage people to buy in, instead of having a pot of "0".
I see that deposits are closed. hopefully it's running soon, so I can try it out.
There seem to be a lot of different feelings on "how a lotto should run". Having decided to go with 5 prize winners instead of the single "jackpot" that most crypt lotteries seem to present limits our distribution of the funds.
We've created a one-week drawing structure with several prize positions which means this lotto is going to run at a slower pace, and pay prizes to more people than most of the existing lotteries.
Those coins who have a community where "no one will go first" are going to be replaced after 1-3 weeks of resource use. REC is already gone. And when a few people are interested and the jackpots start to look like this:

I've attempted to reach out to the community about this and other issues and received very little response.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2561910I don't like the zeros either, but a lottery is funded by the entrants. And I think that just as much as you don't want to "Be the first" into a new pot, there are a lot of other people that would refuse at all if their purchase of a ticket was used to fund another pot.
We will continue, and if people communicate, we will find an attractive formula. It's unlikely that we will implement a partial rollover but I will bump my other thread with this as well. If there are a large number of people who indicate that they actual play lotteries and are interested in this we will consider implementing it.
Thanks, for the feedback. I've been told that DGC has an active community of users and also gamblers. We have successfully run a couple of jackpots and hope to gain trust and enthusiasm.
This drawing has started a little late in the week. However if there are lottery players in the digitalcoin community, there are three more days to grow a jackpot before the drawing. We hope to see you there.
