New Years Eve 50/50 Drawing (Pot Up to 330k!)

Brought to you by Regulators.

For those of you who might be unfamilar, a 50/50 drawing works like this:

A host sells tickets for a drawing to players. Of the proceeds, 50% of which will be won by the player with the winning number. The other 50% are taken by the house. So, if the contest yields 1 million in gold, the winner will receive 500k, and the house will receive 500k.

In the case of this drawing, the 50% of gold taken by Regulators will be destroyed.


There is no limit on the number of tickets one can purchase. Tickets will be 5k a piece. The drawing will be determined by an in game event. In the event, which will take place at West Britan Bank, a dice cup will be rolled 10 times. The player with the number closest to the total will win the contest.

You may choose your numbers, and I will keep track of them in this thread. To pay for your numbers, contact me on the forum, or preferably, via IRC, and when I receive payment I will confirm your numbers here.

A razor packet video will be posted to Youtube and uploaded here to confirm the destruction of the host's share. If there are any doubters, I welcome anyone to observe the destruction of the gold, as I will set up the trash barrel to be observed but unreachable within my tower.

Thanks to all who participate in advance for their aid in this event. If it is a success, I will run these monthly for as long as there are participants. In addition, I will put up 60k of my own gold to get the ball rolling.

Good luck.

The numbers chosen so far are:
27, 33, 37, 40, 41, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 84, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101

so 1mil in tickets sold you will raffle 500k of it off, so that 200 tickets total if my math is correct? most numbers 10 rolls of dice cup can yield is less than 200. like 20 to 120 i think right, considering snake eyes (1 and 1, 2d6 dice in dice cup right)

anyways
Ill take 47, 54, 61, 74 and 84
hit me up for the 25k

Thanks for bringing this up, I didn't fully do the math at the time I made the example. Just for that, I'll make a pledge. If all the numbers are sold, I will bump the pot up to one million gold.

Oh and LF Vintrex already bought 54. Have a sub for it?
