Welcome to HeadlessCowboy's lottery!
There are two types of lotto offered here at HeadlessCowboy lottery such as the power ball and the one draw.
Both of these lotto tickets can be bought at courtyard plot 6 near block A.
The power ball only costs $250 per entry and one draw costs $1000 per entry.
Now into more details about both of them:
[spoiler=Power Ball]
As mentioned before, power ball tickets only cost $250 per entry;
however, keep in mind that the ticket is only valid for whichever is the shortest of the following two options:
1) One week (7 draws per each ticket)
or
2) When someone wins the pot
Now, when you buy a power ball ticket you have to send me the following:
1) The correct numbers in correct order on each power ball ticket in a PM on the forums (pick a number from that range including 1 and 16 with the normal numbers and 1 and 64 for power ball number):
1 - 16 1 - 16 1 - 16 1 - 16 1 - 16 (1 - 64)
(There will be five numbers in order with the possibility of 1 through 16 and the Power ball number with the possibility of 1 through 64)
2) To know the pot value will always start at 10k and will increase with this formula: previous value + (number of extra tickets bought after the last drawing * $250 * .90 ).
So, the first one will only be 10k but the next one is going to be greater.
3) If you did get the Power ball number it is a full refund of your ticket which would be $250.
4) The winner will have all of the pot in this lottery.
5) Numbers will be picked by a number generator.
Here is some examples of Power ball entries:
[spoiler=Good Example]
1 3 16 12 9 (64)
[/spoiler]
[spoiler=Bad Example]
-2 17 45 34 3 (99)
[/spoiler]
You have a chance of winning 1 out of 67,108,864 per one draw.

[spoiler=One Draw]
At the end of each month, I will draw the winner for the one draw for the month.
You can take the lump sum of 90% of the winnings upfront or you can do a payment plan.
The payment plan will give you 95% if the winnings at a 1/6 pace per month for six months so they are all equal payments to a total of 95% of the pot.
If there needs to be any rounding, only the last three payments will be rounded up.
Keep in mind one entry is $1,000.
Example:
The pot for the one draw is:
$120,000 for the end of March. The payout would be either
1) $108,000 per lump sum
2) $19,000 per month for six months for a payment total of $114,000
