Lottery Tickets

Why not allow each team to purchase 1 ticket with the winner receiving all of the money. For example the ticket could cost 50k, so let's say 20 managers purchase a ticket, there will be a winning prize of 1m.

Second idea would be for tokens, so let's say each team can purchase only 1 ticket per day for 1 token.

Let's say there are 20 tickets sold, you could have a payout structure such as the following;

Winner: 60%
Runner up: 35%
IGP: Retains 5% (or no tokens for igp and runner up gets 40%

Just a nice optional feature that can help boost managers money and/or tokens.

The experienced players would always win. Another situation that widens the gap between the winners and losers.

Bad idea, unless we get a management formula that shakes up the grid.

How would the experienced players always win? It would be a random draw and you can only buy 1 ticket.

I think I misunderstood. I read "winner" and thought of race winner, because you even included "runner up" which implies second place...

That's what you get for reading too quickly haha (only joking)

I thought by calling the title a 'Lottery' would have made it self-explanatory, my bad. However, if all the money went to the winner of the race then that would not be a 'Lottery' ie; random.

What are your thoughts upon this idea?

I don't know, can't provide much input. My view would be skewed. I have $1 billion in cash.

$1m isn't enough meat on the bone. But if it costs one token to buy a lottery token, then I think it'd be cool to pool the tokens, have a random winner, and those number of tokens go to the winner by being converted to cash based on how much value each token has in regards to their manager level (for me that's $1.1m per token).

And there'd need to be a minimum number of players for the lottery to take place, in order to prevent abuse.

I highly doubt anything like this would be implemented though, there's much better ways to improve how players earn cash.

No player would not be able to abuse the system as it will payout 5% less than what was recieved. If it paid out 100% then if say only 2 people participated they would have a 50% to win 1st prize and 50% to win 2nd prize. If they finish 2nd the lose. It's impossible for it to be abused.

Regarding tokens, why would it have to be converted in to cash form? Why can it not stay simply as tokens?

I'm sure there are much better ways to earn tokens cash etc for example (look at my suggestion thread regarding end of season prize money/tokens)

However this is something that would be fun and 100% random involving no skill. Just imagine 40 managers enter, that's a chance for someone to win up to 40 tokens just for 1 token entry and if it's for cash then as you said that some people have billions, well the ticket purchase price could be calculated upon a certain % of the average bank balance across the league.

Remember nobody is forced to purchase a ticket and you have to be in it to win it!

But that would be an easy cash grab.This game is a management game so you have to manage your money and tokens.Not easy cash grab

Easy cash grab? If 20 managers purchase a ticket that means your odds would be 20/1. That's a 1 in 19 chance of winning. Hardly easy eh

Just the same as managing our own finances in real life, we have the option to buy a lottery ticket or scratchcard but we know the reality of winning is minimal and it will reduce our funds slighty. People do not have to purchase a ticket if they prefer not to.

Also it does not have to be cash, it can be in the form of tokens.

But in real life there isn't any form of lottery isn't there?Plus,signing your sponsors is also a risk.Risk losing money every time you failed to do your objective and let's say 20 tokens for the winner.So 2 tokens = 2.4mil so 20 tokens = 48 mil.Yeah,that's an easy cash grab in my book

Lottery really? I'm sorry if you can't possibly think the development team would add this in. We are playing a management game if you can't do that well then you need to see where and why you are losing money.

Lottery has nothing to do with racing therefore my conclusion adding it in, especially in a management game, pointless.

Firstly nowhere did I state that I was losing money as I am making money, secondly I just thought that this may help one of those players that is losing money if they're lucky enough to win.

We have all different ages playing this game and also some people who are not as good woth money management like the rest of us. Additionally I think it's a fun feature that would be easy to implement into the game.

Finally, I did not say it had to be money, as it could also be tokens. Not everyone can buy tokens, so having a windfall of tokens would be nice for some people as they would come in very handy for them.
