I thought it would be weigh better if it was at least 5k  cash instead of 500, cos people only buy entries for the amen, so make them want to do it for the cash aswell! then they'll go like "oh so over 10 people have bought entries now and so the cash in it is now over 50k so maybe I'll buy one too" and if theres a good amen and like 100 entries were bought, it would be loads of cash! so, just a suggestion, hope everyone likes it

yup, thats y I made this thread, cos if its a ps move, (like wat u won) hardly anyone will go for it, but if it was for cash as well, then nearly everyone in PB would buy an entry...

and plus, u cant buy cash for paypal like u can buy favs, so its weigh easier to get 1k favs rather than 100m cash (wich is worth 100 favs!), so make it more I'd say!

1 favor is equal to 1m cash, and thats not even 10k! so wat its now on, is like probably like a hundreth of 1 favor!

The cash prize from the lottery was at one point considered a lot. But if you know how inflation works, then you know why it seems like a small amount now.

We want to combat inflation, not throw gasoline on the fire.

Was thinking about this a wee bit well the concept off it anyway as its not really my idea per-say and i'm not overly sure if it has been mentioned before but i found it appropriate for this thread.

Ok so here it goes...what about a separate lottery for cash or favors only (no amenity)...you can only enter x amount off times a week for a set price weather its all at once or at separate times ( 20 times a week at 2 favors per ticket or something like that) The house would take certain percentage off the overall pot say 10% for arguments sake and the winner will be drawn by the same method as the the normal lottery, not sure how that system works personally weather its just a random generator or done by odds off the over all enteritis. As for winners there could be one over all winner or have it split into 3. Like the normal lottery it would be held over all prisons.

I know all this actually depends on weather the players choose to enter or not as its only cash or favors, we all know its the amenity in the lottery we have at the minute that every body is after as it varies from week to week but if the total pot was 1000 favors and rising i think players would be encouraged to by tickets the same if it was a decent cash sum.

I dunno how much work it would be for you guys though, if yous had to implement a whole new lottery system or some how have it done in the same lottery section we already have like an extra tab or something

Not sure if it would be even be helpful to combat inflation or make it worse for that matter or if its beneficial to the game/player its just an idea...I am sure i'm about to find out though lol

I know there is probably some/alot off flaws in the idea but I just thought I would throw it out there for some constructive criticism anyway see what you all think lol
