I said so aswell, he brushed it away with 'it was just an easy gatecamp'. I say it's still damn ballsy.

As close as it can be... MMSQL wasn't designed to generate random outputs really. Enjoy! ★ LSJV now recruiting ★ |

There IS a way to conduct random number lotteries without trust. You could do what the Mafia does ("running numbers"). You choose some publicly displayed information from several different sources and add/subtract/whatever the numbers together. That gives you the winning number. For example: winning number= highest NBA game score today + highest MLB score + highest hockey score. Or the FTSE average + DOW average - Nissei average. Or whatever. It doesn't matter what the data is, just that it have a numeric component, its publicly reported regularly by an impossible to influence source, and there is no way to know what it is in advance (thus sports scores and financial index averages are good starting places). |

What the hell, 10 tickets.
If I win, I'll try to lose it in a moderately hilarious fashion. Concorded off Jita 4-4, maybe?

It doesn't matter what the data is, just that it have a numeric component, its publicly reported regularly by an impossible to influence source, and there is no way to know what it is in advance (thus sports scores and financial index averages are good starting places).
So, given a lottery with 150 tickets, based on the highest NBA game score of the weekend, would you seriously pay as much for ticket number 1 to 30 and 140 to 150 as for the 85 to 110 range?
Most of these kinds of numbers, while hard to predict in advance, have known ranges they can be expect to fall into. Adding/Substracting a multitude of these numbers makes it harder to predict ranges of statistically provable increased chances, but it does not eliminate them. Constructing a formula out of such values that even has a resemblance of an even distribution over the whole ticket range is VERY hard.
A formula using such numbers with a maximum relative deviation between the win-chances of the lottery tickets below 50% (for 10'000 tickets, every ticket has an expected chance to win between 0.000125% max and 0.000075% min) could already be regarded a success and likely as close as you will get.
NewID() may not be the end of all wisdom, as its GUIDs are more designed towards uniqueness than randomness and even coverage of the value range, but I haven't come up with something better yet, so I accept Chribba's solution :D
PS: ISK sent.

actually I was used as bait for that carrier to go agro on me outside st, the setup I was using can tank up to 2 carriers (with max skills) I was not remote repped at any point in time in that gank. carrier died too fast for that to be needed.
enough with the storys
keep buying tickets! :)

It's pulled directly from his wallet via the API. Sometimes this bugs and it takes a while for C to sort it out, as long as you sent the ISK and used 'TRIBAL' in the reason, you will be fine

In your case you are paying with the corporation wallet, so your tickets will be listed under your corporation name instead of your name. I still see your name manually but the import grabs the "sender" name which in the case of corporation payments is the corporation name.

Isk sent.
If i win I'll be trying to trade it, along with my silver Magnate, for one of Entity's Imperial Geddons.
Hopefully this runs for a few more days and gives me a chance to find some more spare iskies to send
