Lottery Draw!
The Irish Community
Dear all,
I'm sorry this happened a day late, this was due to transportation issues that meant I was out much later yesterday than I'd planned. By the time I'd gotten back I was soaked through and exhausted and fit for a hot bath and bed and not much else.
Anyway just a quick reminder first:
1) This article contains details of a Q1 house draw for our newbies, how you can help with our Q5 hospital and where you can donate to eIreland's communal bank account: http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/an-moc-on-a-mission-q1-house-draw-and-other-stories-1053361/1/20
And now, without further ado!
Our Lottery Winner!
This week's lottery took a stonking 350 IEP, thanks in large part to one citizen who bought one ticket for every number. Which means this week's prize fund (75% of that) 262.50!!!
Following the publication of this article next week's draw will be open, and you can start sending in your 5IEPs (or multiples thereof) to buy your tickets for the draw that will occur next Saturday, around the same time.
So without further ado, the draw! (thanks to: http://www.random.org/)
And the lucky number is.... 32!
Which means the lucky winner is Gallin, who picked that exact number (and 49 others lol)!
Sending it over to you now, Gallin!
Of the rest just 5IEP will be retained by this account, which of it's own funds now has 500IEP and is therefore at it's cap. The remaining 87.50IEP will be sent to the Irish State Community Fund (http://www.erepublik.com/en/organization/1908995).
And now I delete all the lottery related PMs for this week from the org, so they don't get mixed up with next week's.
Ta ta for now!

Congratulations Gallin 🙂!
Congrats! And I have to ask, when the hell will the Oustanding Citizens awards be shown? im down right curious
Gratz Gallin, i was wondering why the MOC had 900IEP, i would love to win 262IEP,
Lol good move gallin
Gallin, I'm on your friends list 😃
gimme gimme
Ah, stop it! Gallin you won fair and square but that is not a good way to win it. I considered doing it myself a couple of months ago and I could easily have done it but I thought it would be unfair on other participants. Can we please stop this from happening again?
@John Gormley A ticket limit could be set, easily enough. Though if he'd have picked a number that someone else had too he'd have had half or less his original stake.
It's something that could be discussed though for sure.
Wait, just a minute! I played this lottery before, and I thought it was 5 ticket (number) per person >😮
I am about to go on spam mode over this!
Easy Dan...
lmao, seems like that defeats the purpose of this doesnt it?
;_; I was close to #32 too.
Yeah we're looking at setting a limit in future. Never occured to me someone would put 250 in lol.
But no, there's never been a ticket limit. I'm hoping to talk to Dayan properly about it tomorrow but for now assume it's five (you can buy extra if we set it higher, but five does seem fair).
noooo lol i made money off of it and i happened to just have bought 400 iep off the market before i saw the link for that so i said why not and i even made like 10 iep how awesome lol
Yeah that's what it was back in June-July. Five is reasonable, seeing as its a pick between #'s 1-50. So they have like 10% if you throw 5 tickets or something like that.
i didnt know that
In addition - lottery turnout this week has been poor so far. Don't forget to buy your tickets (5 IEP each) by donating to this org, then PMing the org with your choice of numbers from 1-50.
Thanking you all for everything and asking you to vote and shout!

Nothing about 5 ticket limit
@Gallin - There hadn't been a limit since I restarted the lottery two months back, you did nothing outside of the rules. I am now considering making an adjustment that includes a ticket limit because it is a little unfair on those who a) couldn't afford to do it too b) enjoy the chance/competition aspect etc. Plus it'd be no fun if every body just bought 50 tickets (though the ISCF would be very rich).
So in summation - you did nothing wrong, but you have highlighted a loophole I'll probably close in the near future.
No it's great
i hope 10 ppl do it next week!
If someone with 1 ticket got the number they would make lots more splitting the pot.
