Everyone loves a good game, so why not play... THE SAKURA PETAL LOTTERY!!
SAKURA PETAL LOTTERY
I will let my announcer, Hoshino Takabe-san explain the rules.
Konbanwa Miina-san. I am Hoshino-san and I will be your host for tonights show: The Sakura lottery!! The rules are simple.
There will be 3 divisions, 3 drawings. The more you pay to play, the more it pays to win!
Placing your Wager
Division 1: Costs 5 JPY to play.
Division 2. Costs 10 JPY to play.
Division 3. Costs 25 JPY to play.
Unfortunately, due to our understanding of the eRepublik rules, it must be via endorsement, so you can only choose 1 division to purchase a single ticket for via your endorsement, so choose wisely.
Earning your Winnings
The Lottery winnings are accounted by 75% of each divisions total ticket revenue. This means that for a division to be run, there must be at least 2 individuals vying for its payout. This means that when more people are going for a single prize, the payout can be so much more. for instance, if there were 10 people going for a division 3 prize, the payout is now 187.25 for your 25 JPY ticket. Even if you are vying against a single opponent, the payout is 37.5, a clear profit!!
This payout percentage is standard, so it doesn't matter what division you play, you get the same percent prize for your division, but more guts, more glory!
What if only one person plays in a division?
Theoretically, we could pay a reward to a single winner, but that wouldn't be very fun for said winner. In this case the player does not get a refund, nor a prize, he just gets entered for free in the next game, essentially transferring his ticket. As a bonus, he can purchase a second ticket. DOUBLE LUCKY!
How does the drawing work?
Players will be assigned a number prior to the drawing, that will happen every 3 days. The first 2 will be to allow players entry, the third day will see a new article of the SAKURA PETAL LOTTERY announcing the winner and the cycle begins all over again... with the new article being the beginning of the new cycle where individuals can place their new wagers. Numbers will be drawn from Random.Org where I will take a screenshot of the winning draw for each division.
The threshhold for drawing will start at 1 and end at the number of participants for that division. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A WINNER.
And that is the SAKURA PETAL LOTTERY.
The first drawing will be on day 2653, 3 days from now. (at the latest 2654, depending on IRL). You do not have to be an eJapanese citizen. This contest is open to Gaijin(trans: foreigners) as well.

😒o, after a little research showed that lotteries are actually legal in the eRepublik laws, I had been thinking about hosting one but hadn't actually gotten around to it when another lottery came up, one much, much larger than what I had in mind. That said...

If I might make a suggestion, the proper category for this article seems to be Social Interactions and Entertainment rather than Financial Business 🙂
Eh, I figured it should go here since a lottery is still a business and it's more business than social interaction, ja feel? Lottery is technically analysis of the winning number and who gets paid. That's my logic. Honestly it could probably go in either, but let's be real, bottom line we don't have a high enough volume of articles for it to matter. It's all first or second page.
It is "a business", but the topic is not "financial business". This is simply entertainment. Just because it deals with money is not enough, because then all articles which merely mention gold would be in this category. Financial business could be news about about market, government reports, job analysis etc. There is no analysis here, just the presentation of participation rules.
Though it is true that the number of articles is low, that is not a reason to manage them sloppily. After all, we want things to keep improving.
