but at the raffle it says: Buying a raffle ticket is a good way to make extra food or cash for our <<< sentence stops there..>> for our wHAT ???? incomplete

When we buy a raffle ticket, the amount goes into the jackpot, which will be given out to someone at the drawing.
Raffle drawings are held every day at noon.
Cash tickets cost $73,558 and food tickets cost 9,195. They are valid for one drawing.

my suggestion is delete it..this admin guy won 2 in a row..i suspect admin abuse ;) :P

I buy tickets with my admin account so that there is a good sized jackpot. I've been meaning to make a post suggesting that admin accounts be set up so that they automaticly by Raffle tickets, and their numbers are always picked last. But that uncompleat sentance needs to be fixed.

how about starting the jackpot at about 100,000 $/Food instead of 0?

100,000 is kind of small. $50,000,000, and 10,000,000 food would be a decent amount. Maybe this bonus should not be added unless at least two players buy tickets. Otherwise, it's just free cash and food.

True, true. That might be a bit too much but something that will make the ticket worth buying...

What about 1 ticket is obligatory for each person (the game buys it for you automatically). Then you can buy 4 extra if you want.

That sounds like a good idea. What if you don't have any cash, or food? Would it wait until you got some, and then buy the ticket?

I say the same thing but also what if you happen to need your cash/food at the time?

I guess... Too bad! Anyway, tickets aren't that much, so one ticket won't cause too much damage.

that isnt what im reffering to, BUT, you might as well crank it up a lil...

and say: a higher jackpot..5bil..dont know what is much cash here

@ valhall were talking about 500/600bil, that is much...below that and u wont win the set..

anyway, u can edit the code a lil, so people WILL buy the tickets
or once a week..instead of once a month

if you choose once a month, then the prices should come like...the 3rd week, then u acctually can do something with the cash...

Er, I'm not sure you understand our Raffle... Drawings are held every day. Someone always wins. You can't have 500 bil drawings, because that would be like randomly sending out 500 bil to half the game.

by the net jump generated by 500 bil everyone could tell who got it
and if that person didnt sign on for a bit they could be ripped to shreds by people attempting to take their cash ;) with the war settings and such inplace and the attacking system it is incredibly hard to keep a decent amount of resources out in the open...
