People have to enter the lottery every week if they want a chance to win. It's not a one-time thing.
I think the main problem of your project is inability to incentivize users to regularly visit your website. For 1000 impressions you can get only about 0.1 BTC, but if every user would visit your website only once to enter e-mail, you will not generate enough impressions to offer at least 1 BTC prize.
I understand the whole point of "free" lol. But SO MANY people have joined and the jackpot could be much higher if everyone put in 0.01 btc anyone interested?
Everyones joined because it is indeed "free"...
Surely the numbers will reflect nicely if you get some decent advertisers?
Maybe something on the site to bring back a continuous stream of traffic?

Entered, I like free stuff! 
Disabled SSL Enforcer and it went through fine 
Tried to enter, but there's something wrong with your captcha's... I doubt I got it wrong 20times in a row! 
I just tested it and got in on first try, make sure caps in off and make sure it's right.Still having trouble. This didn't work? :
Or this...
Make sure you don't have NoScript or something activated.

To continue the fight on fake entries, starting next round it will be required to confirm your winnings by email. Some of the emails looked phony. Remember I do this all by hand I see every email myself, but I will never share them with anyone.

1. A captcha
2. Not allowing emails from disposable email address sites
3. Possibly IP checks, also check if IP is a known proxy IP

My faucet has all this, but despite this few hundred cheating attempts was prevented using additional statistical algorithm. If I would checked ONLY with methods you described above my faucet would be dry now.

Really, all that would be necessary to protect against cheating is:
1. A captcha
2. Not allowing emails from disposable email address sites
3. Possibly IP checks, also check if IP is a known proxy IP
There would still be some cheating, but that's simply something that you'd have to live with. It wouldn't affect advertisers, as even though there are bots, there would still be the same amount of real people.
I really don't see what the problem is.

I don't think people will make up a fake email just to have a chance at winning..

It's ran by ads, so the more hits the better.
These hits are worthless, advertisers want that real people see their ads not bots or cheaters.I figured it was someone like Google.

Bankrupt? How? Do you even understand how this lottery works?
I good understand. If you don't provide enough bot and cheater protection, no advertiser will want to place ad on your site.P.S. I am running ad sponsored faucet and can tell you that there were few hundreds attempts to cheat me and get a ridiculous amount of 0.0005 BTC or even less.
How do you prevent multiple requests by one person?
It is quite difficult task. If you cannot do this most probably your service will go bankrupt after few days.
I spent about a month to write a heuristic statistical analyzer that detects fraudulent behavior and it already rejected thousands suspicious requests on my site, but even so it doesn't give 100% probability. Checking e-mail and IP is not enough definitely.
Technical savvy user can easily cheat you by registering many emails and requesting ticket via proxy or TOR node, diluting winning chance of legitimate users.

Great idea. How much do you win? Is it based on how much advertising revenue you make, or is it a fixed value?
Revenue, I take 5% rest goes to the pot
