Questions about Lottery I'm Starting

Hey All. Thought it might be fun to make a handful of lottery listings.. and I just wanted some feedback on them as I know I can't possibly think of all the angles myself.

Blackbank: BB's order id system is entirely number based.. so the last digit is obviously going to be 0-9...(or 10 possibilities).

I was thinking I would set it up like this: using a $100 product as an example..(3.5g wax).

The winning number would be set... we'll say '4'.
If the last digit of the order id ends in 4.. you win. tickets are $11. each ticket has a 1/10 chance of winning.. so theoretically.. I would generate $110 for every win. (the $10 extra is to cover shipping).

In theory, somebody could purchase multiple orders in rapid fire to try and get the product id ending in 4.. but there are 125k users on the site.. the odds of you placing two orders in a row, and getting the two order ids ina row aren't very good.. are they?

The only potential flaw I can think of.. is that somebody could order, cancel, order, cancel, order, cancel.. until they got the right ending. I guess in order to see it.. I'd have to be online/refresh my page at the exact time they ordered/before they cancelled.. am I correct?

Any other observations/thoughts?

I was thinking of doing this system for various items/price ranges.. i.e. a $100 item, with $11 tickets.. a $300 item.. with $35 tickets.. and a $600 item, with $65 tickets.. whatcha think??

FOr Ag.. it would be a little different. the last digit of the order id can be a number or letter.. making for 36 combos. I thought I would offer two winning options.. a letter and a number. so odds would be 2/36.. or 1/18. As a result, these lotto tickets would be cheaper.. as the odds of winning would be slightly less than half of the BB tickets.. thoughts? thanks.

Why don't you just sell drugs like everyone else

Honestly don't see many people paying 30$+ for a ticket to a lottery which could easily be a huge scam. If you want to do it, i'd do it with low amounts like $5 a ticket for people who have a bit of btc left over in their account and want the chance of winning an eighth for free, I always have 5-10$ leftover in my account that i'm doing anything with. Just do a listing for 25 people, assign them all a number 1-25 and use a random number generator

Also be prepared to get 24 bad feedbacks and 1 good one.

Do it old school, number in a hat. Don't do it based on weird order numbers.

After two or three lotteries, post a notice here and on your pages showing that you will have a drawing soon. You could do either 1 product per drawing/entries.

Or do something like, if 50 people throw in money, you have more than 1 drawing for that set of 50 people. Eventually you will have lots of people throwing in money, so I guess that's an idea for the future... Well whatever you choose, I will participate in one later rather than sooner, as I am waiting for some money to come in before I buy some more BTC. Best of luck though haha :)

Lotteries are just fees for being stupid

didnt read it, but i assume the question is how can you rig it without people noticing.

Well, I'm no expert, but I guess you probably have a few shills.

JUST STICK TO SELLING DRUGS MAN! For crying out loud!
