 Instant lotto

I think it would be cool to have an instant lotto. You know like where you can win reasonable small amounts compared to regular lotto only instantly, and a reasonably large % goes back to the shroomery for each point purchase. Just an idea and I imagine it would be a hell of a lot of coding, so no hard feelings if you don't consider it. Hell it wouldn't even have to be very graphic to satisfy me. Maybe just a line printed out, you have won $xx points.

Now this is what I like to see, people being apologetic when they request a feature.  Actually it would be relatively easy to code but what do you think would be good odds?

1000,000 to 1 against. 
nah thats not very nice, If it were a daily or hourly draw then the odds could be based on the amount of people that entered in that hour or whatever.
Or maybe base the odds on the amount of points to be won.
Then the odds would fluctuate accordingly.
Ooooh this was post 1010 for me

Maybe similar to regular scratch offs. Like 1 in 10 or something like that. The prizes that are as much as you spend really annoy me when I buy scratch offs so I wouldn't complain if the odds are lower of winning to diminish this. You should make a high return go back to the shroomery, so it's like the regular scratch offs also .

Maybe you could make spots where you click and a symbol is revealed and depending upon the number of shroom symbols you reveal the prize goes up. It might make it more addiciting. I would be satisfied with just the simple text verision to.

that would work, just have it so when you hit a certain amount of entries, say 10, 20, 30, etc. whatever you want, it does the drawing.
i like this idea alot. only because i hate waiting around for the weekly lotto lol.

I think the t-shirt/sweatshirt think combined with the large lotto and numerous complaints for something that was free to begin with brought the end to the program.

I tried to tell you all to keep all of these posts pertaining to the points system in the global sticky thread, so that, if Ythan didn't feel like listening to people whine like selfish monkeys, he could simply not click that one thread. Instead all of you felt that your idea was much more important than everyone else's, and deserved to be distinct from that thread.... now look what has happened.

I didn't whine or anything I just thought this was would be a cool feature and maybe knock off some points from the totals is why I made a new thread. For all of you who bitched about what was free burn in hell. Hell I am wasted rest in piece point system.
