right, change it from 1 - 777 to 1 - 2000. Where the same random number cant be chosen twice, odds get bigger, more people will play.

As the bank gets more and more money, you should allow higher and higher bets. Smiley

I didn't think there were "tickets"... Isn't a random number generated for for each bid, allowing duplication?
I didn't say anything about duplication. This is just random number, allowing duplication. Right. You can get JP either taking few tickets or you will not see it even taking 1000. It is just random.

Interesting..

So what are the odds of 230 / 777 hitting the jackpot? Is it roughly 30%?

You see, Cory transactions processing faster by network. Because he sent few bets. I don't know why bitcoin network refusing processing all of yours in single block. I noticed this while tested this lottery. May be it is internal dos protection.
Heh, well I'd expect some wonky things to happen when you're dealing with hundreds of small payments. Wink

And please... Dont send more than 1500 bets at once ))) Otherwise my bitcoin client will shoot itself in the head

You don't have the number of tickets remaining anywhere on the site, do you?
