PSU: PSU Lottery ?

[Jainsea]

Friend and I were throwing ideas back n forth last nite: PSU Lottery was one of them.
Think of all the meseta that goes into the blackholes
known as NPC stores. This money goes no where! Every single day. Lets say if some of that money got set aside for a couple days or even a week. That would add up to quite a lovley sum! It could be a bi-weekly lottery, and people buy tickets for certain amount(that way only active accounts get to play, and it doesn't get wasted on a person thats no longer playing) ONE ticket per account.
Lottery starts on a Monday and is selected on the next week on Friday. If your account gets choosen you
recieve a mail from a GM(or someone) and the meseta is put into your common box. If you have max meseata in there, then why you playing the PSU Lottery? Dont be greedy!
If you do have max, the lottery gets pulled again and someone else that really needs it gets it. Just
in fairness. Once you win you cant play the Lottery for a month. I think it would be a nice "Hey! Thanks for playing this game!" from Sega if they did so and would help the more causal player too. Even if a fixed amount of meseta was given it would still be nice^_^
What you guys think?

It would be better if it functioned like normal lotteries, like having the prize money derived from the tickets purchased, like making them 5k per account, and rather than Biweekly they had it once a month or so, so as to work up a large enough amount of entry's.

It's a very nifty idea, at any rate.

I agree wholeheartedly. People NEED to spend more meseta at NPCs so that the economy doesnt continue to inflate at even higher rates.

This PSU lottery will do nothing but raice prices on non-NPC goods.

Yeah like say Five Hundred people paid $100 Meseta to buy one ticket. That is $5,000 to the winner if they picked the right combination of Photon element draws.

Then have Hal announce the winner after the weekly news report.

"And the winning ticket is.... Ban, Zon, Ray, Ban, Di, and the last photon is.....MEGI. Congratulations to Guardian CRISS for winning ^_^"

Or maybe wait till AOI for the Casino thing - it'll be another gambling fix for certain players.

Thank you all for the feed back^^
Yea, I kind of thought about the Lottery
influxing the economy problem too. Okay how about
if it's just a fixed amount of meseta like around
a couple million ,maybe3-5mil, and just a monthly thing. Tickets could go for 5k and at end of month
tickets get pulled! I'm a poor meseta player so
thats a lot to me and and isnt TOO much so it wont
hurt the market if only one person gets it once a
month. We just gotta hope that players with max
meseta let others have a chance^^

also ty Dhylec for the much needed edit http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
tis my 1st poll post so I was a little confused^^;

well they could make it npc bought tickets, SEGA sponsered event every month.they could be like 5k a pop.
make the pc/ps2 tickets like 20k a piece

This can be done manually (I have my eye on the element order thing, thats a good one), although the trust thing would be an issue...

For anyone that isn't familiar, a player Rated (UPPA) set a lottery up on the 360 servers. But noone ever took the idea for the PC/PS2 ones, so it would be nice if there were.

An automatic/sonic team one would be better, but a trustworthy player/organization seems the only possibiltity at the moment.
