Hello,
If I'm allowed to make a suggestion - and I'm sure the thread starter doesn't mind , may I draw your attention to an alternative form of gambling that 1) doesn't involve trusting 100+ billion ISK to anyone at a time, 2) doesn't involve more than a day of waiting, and 3) has better odds of winning than this, or indeed any other currently running lottery for that matter?
Please see this thread for further information and discussion.
Cheers!

End of the day, I have been about in eve for a long long time - I cannot remember a time when these guys have scammed/doing anything wrong. Infact most of their lotterys are subsidised by their own pocket. WHilst this one may not be subsidised, dont seethere is any reason not to trust BIG. The prizes in your contest seem to be somewhat crappy tbh! No offense!

With this speed of sold tickets, the lottery is done in about one and a half years...
Refund my tickets, you have the details in your mailbox. If you do even have any ISK left...

Last update appears to have been on: 2009.08.24 22:51:00
How long does it take to write 9 words? "The Titan Lottery is closed. Your money will be refunded."
And apparently TornSoul has been on the forums elsewhere? C'mon, really? If you can't be bothered to post or something, it's clear your reputation is no longer important to you.
BIG is now on my list of unreliable/liars/scammers. And that's the word I'll be spreading to my friends and corp members.

I agree with you, and I heard a rumour that one of the price Avatars has been sold already... Of course I can't confirm it.

As posted elsewhere already :
"(*)Terrible sorry about not getting the AT7 betting started sooner. RL have been a major PITA the last weeks. Couple of weeks ago I had an opening to get the site done, but back then the official schedule wasnt posted/updated yet so... meh." Simply a statement, not an excuse. RL has hit me BIG time the last few weeks. **** happens.
As also posted other elsewhere "I got a seriously nasty backlog of stuff I need to catch up on" Last few days have been spend chipping away at all the items on that backlog. I'm nearly there now.
I've been in two minds if I should post at all to this thread before being able to offer "The Solution(tm)" or not... But I think some re-assurement that I'm back in the saddle, and definatly haven't run of with any ISK might be in order around now. Currently I do not have "The Solution(tm)" - But hope to have one Soon(tm).
Reading these past pages, I keep seeing that people believe that it's BIG making anywhere between 20 and 40 billion on each titan (all tickets selling). FWIW : BIG's only profit of this lottery is a 5% admin fee. That's all. The rest (15 to 20 billion per titan apparently) goes to the producers.
Stay tuned.

Thanks for the post TornSoul. And the reassurances.
Good to know BIG hasn't hurt their Rep. Took too long to get up there.
And for the record... I think the best solution is to told it at 3 stages. Stage 1 - Tickets 1-10,000 For first titan. Stage 2 - Tickets 1-20,000 for second titan. Stage 3 - Tickets 1-30,000 for Last titan.
But draw and deliver at each stage so the winners won't have to wait till last draw (except Stage3 winner of course). Just a passing thought.

How rough can you handle?
Hopefully before the end of the weekend. I'd give that an 80% chance if I was the gambling type
Could be sooner, could be later.

I'm classing the money I put into the lotto as lost, but that's cause its a lotto, and I'm not likely to win. And I'm not gonna lie, I think BIG would have send someone to my house and **** in my computer while screaming "Haha *****, we got your iskies now!" to lose my trust in them. They've been around doing stuff too long otherwise at this point.

Have you considered talking to the producers, asking if they would lower the tickets per ships to perhaps 70b per ship? Would make a huge difference imo.

Yea 80% chance pfff this just needs to be refunded and re-started with 1 titan at a time as your time frame seems to be takeing the micky hell only what 18k+ tickets to go lawl its getting slower and esp now with all the bad rep about this People wont put there money into this loto because the know its not going to work soo its been in limbo for 3 weeks ... refund (pain in the arse to do)
Titan Pilots are also tight if there not willing to drop there price and guessing hinta is one "bumping" this thred that would be the erebus that you won from chribba dropping your prices to 75-80 would be a good idea getting 95 bill (LAWL) is greedy
Torn u should go buy some titans of the market and do a less tickets

Firstly : I've not been able to make contact with the producers (mail+IRC - no luck yet) - So still no "Solution(tm)".
Secondly : Above mentioned option is one of several on my mind (But I also have to honor my agreement with the producers, so until we have that chat I can't make any promises) BIG Lottery |

You have got to be ****ting me. You have started a 3xtitan lottery without having the ships in stock?? WTF. So what you are telling us, you where planning to sell 30.000 tickets, THEN buy the titans and THEN raffle them off. Whats the matter you man, thatÆs about the worst merchantman ship I have heard of in a LONG TIME. Your whole business model is based on selling x-amount of tickets that you might or might not sell, buy 3 titans from a producer that might and might not have them in stock. Titans are not something you just build or order from a random producer, takes a good 3months to get 1 build including the cap parts.
So right about now, you hole business model flawed. IÆm not even trying to troll you or anything, but I call it as I see it.
And since you apparently donÆt have the ships yourself, and your titan builder is not in reach(does he even have them?), cancel the lottery and refund people.

You guys should check out Big Lotteries history before you start ****ing all over...
Right now we're no worse off than we were when we bought our tickets. Big Lotteries has a long history - I'm fairly confident (as confident as anything in this game) that Big won't be running away w/the money...
You bought your tickets, and one of the conditions was that 30K tickets would be sold. No guarantees of time were given. Get over it. Big has a hell of a lot more rep. - he/she will do right.

Tbh - If you read what TS said -
Originally by: TornSoul Firstly : I've not been able to make contact with the producers (mail+IRC - no luck yet) - So still no "Solution(tm)".
He hasn't said they ships aren't built, just he hasn't had contact with the guys producing them. Nor that he not found out any builders / Sellers yet...He's got some, but they can't be contacted at the moment for whatever reason. Not sure where you jumped on your high horse from there. Yeah, it's not great that TS doesn't already hold the three titans - But who (Barring Chribba with his endless Wallet) Can afford to have three titans stashed away? You need to remember this is a computer game - People do have Real life, Real Jobs etc - What will the Titan Producers get out of not building them now? Titans are losing price in fear of the DDD nerf - and I doubt TS would of handed over the isk prior to getting a ship in return..
Just have Patience. We all knew this wasn't going to be a weekend lottery - It's for THREE TITANS ffs...Chill out
