RULES OF THE 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 next drawing will be on day 2659, 3 days from now. (at the latest 2660, depending on IRL)

PLACE YA BETS!
