Game
LottoShares allows shareholders to use their coins to play a lottery style game, choosing 6 numbers from 42.
Players can choose the size of their stake and prizes are fixed-odds -
6 numbers = 1,000,000 X stake
5 numbers = 5,000 X stake
4 numbers = 100 X stake
3 numbers = 10 X stake
Users can play tickets from the 'Play' tab. Make sure all 6 numbers played are different and the stake must be .00001000 or greater.
To check the numbers drawn, double click on the play transaction (after it is confirmed) in your wallet. This will bring you to the web interface.
Draws usually take place within about 5 to 10 minutes of tickets being included in a block.

I imagine The Noir Group will finally deliver a DAC, but only after everyone's long gone.
That would be unfortunate, but rushing doesnt produce worthwhile results either.
We don't need another lotto DAC, we have one
Who is this
we?? the
we i know are NRS and NRB holders, of which none are mentioned above.
Freetrade is a very good dev, he was the first to actually implement momentum, he has my deepest respect and there are even times he gives me pointers on certain ideas and code. But tell me, how long did it take him to go from MMC to LTS? Or even MMC 1.0 to MMC 2.0? I've been around a while and i've watched most of these projects from scratch, some i have even participated in, and i use that experience as well as my own ideas to introduce new ideas. These things take time.
Indulge me a bit while i point out some aspects :-

Total Shares: 100 MillionYou'll note that above i expressed some concern about this, let me explain. The PoW attribute potentially opens up an avenue of rewards through mining only, this means that there are two "serious" games at play here, ie mining and betting. I am thus far looking for a way around this because i want the only "game" to be betting. This means we need something else to make the blocks pass by quickly enough to maintain a viable betting and tx pace, i instead think PoS is a much better suited vehicle for a lotto, since a looto is not about the number of passing block or their speed, but about the bets themselves.

This is not what we have in mind and has been one of the chief causes of blockchain bloat, below is an explanation of how we want ours to work:-
1) Bets are sent to the smae address :- same as above,
2) All bets are tallied and the "pot" is a field in the block struct that maintains a tally of entire day's bets (this eliminates most exploits we could think of)
3) Winners are chosen by the code it'self, using a still being discussed mechanism similar to the above.
The MAIN difference is that we want all the components to be on the chain. Easily viewable and auditable, not only for transparency sake but also so we can improve the code, quickly catch any exploits and at the same time keep our promise of "DECENTRALIZED". I would guess that LTS saw the bloating of the chain if you did it over a day and were keeping track of all tx in every block to keep an accurate tally, and chose to instead have a centralized component, i want to keep fighting because i know there exists a solution, most likely using timed expiry based on block count.

WE, our distribution model may end up including some partner coins, especially from the devs who have taken time to chime in, but our main objective is to provide for our own ie NRB and NRS with a much more decentralized model without any point that cannot be verified or queried.
So yes, i need to go back to work before like you said, we lose everyone.
