Hi Everyone,
I have been a keen BitCoin user for some time now, however I have kept it quite down low on the forums. But I have decided to break out and start using forums to chat to other BitCoin users and hopefully more merchants. I have also wanted to apply my programming skills to a BitCoin based product. So I decided to start my own BitCoin lottery at http://bitlottery.robertputt.co.uk. I have priced the ticket prices low so hopefully everyone can get involved.
Ticket Price - 0.1 BTC
Weekly Draw - Saturday Evening 8PM GMT.
There are no numbers to pick or roll overs, because we know the exact number of tickets purchased we can pick 1 distinct winner each week. To find our weekly winner we will use the PHP rand() function to pick a row from our tickets database.
Where does my ticket money go? - 90% of your ticket purchase is put towards the weekly jackpot. 5% is donated to charity, and 5% is kept to help keep BitLottery running. It is hoped that after sufficient funds have been secured to host the website for the forseable future that we will give 10% to charity and remove our share.
To start playing visit the website at http://bitlottery.robertputt.co.uk.
Any queries just send me a PM or discuss on the forum.
Please enjoy the lottery I have produced, if you are interested in starting your own BitCoin lottery site or indeed any other site or project give me a shout, I am programmer fluent in PHP and MySQL, Java & C# and in some circumstances open to working for free on worthwhile projects or for a few BTC.
Good luck, I will announce the first winner on Saturday 14th January 2012.
