    You could cut down the pot then to a substancially low percentage. Enough to make it work while but not so much they becuase the richest person on GR

    Perhaps have one lottery first to see how many people join in. Take that number and cut it down a bit (I think its safe to say many people will enter the first time, and fewer after that). Using that number, find a good percentage for where you could start the pot out.

    As for as being fair, and avoiding devauluing of credits, you could empty the pot (compeltely or by a certain percentage) every x loterries to prevent anyone from winning the biggest crapload of credits ever.

    Lotteries are like impossible to win. Wouldn't like it. We don't even have a bank anymore! Come on!

    You'd pick a number out of all the ones that have been given out :)

    You would probably pick a random number. That way no one wins everytime and the pot gets bigger with every drawing, just like the real lottery.

    However, as i said, you should limit the amount carried over into the next lottery. Becuase, just like in the real lottery again, someone would then be so filthy rich it would be ridiculous.
