My daughter once won a pot of several million with one ticket. It's not impossible.  I tend to buy five tickets when I get the urge to gamble away my tu.

Not really all that interested in winning.  It'd be fun if I did though.

100 is way too little, in my opinion. 10,000 is more like it.

You may think; 10,000 is way too much!

Yet I've lost plenty of raffles with that amount of tickets. The raffle is an exciting event, and though I agree with this suggestion to an extent, 100 tickets is just not worth it. 10,000 tickets is just enough to prevent all those 'rich' users from shoving 100,000 tickets in there.

What do you mean by "100 tickets is not worth it?" o_0 Since when does any type of raffle or lottery "worth it"? Games like that were always about luck, when you invest little and might won big. Most of the time it isn't worth it at all.

I totally agree with this idea, and 100 tickets is enough. (Honestly, people, have you ever bought 10000 tickets on any type of real life lottery or raffle?)

I disagree, this isn't real life money so it makes it exciting, fun. I certainly would not throw in my hard earned real money, yet I will "Play" with Tu happily:) 

"Games like that are always about luck" exactly! "Worth" is defined differently from person to person.

I do not mind a daily limit, if that is what the m*censored*es vote for, yet there is always that chance that someone could lose their pile of Tu by one ticket. I would love to see it happen too:)

That is what makes it fun, if someone has fun tossing in more than 100 tickets per day, I say let them. I have never won a raffle. I have played since I started playing. Yet, it is still fun for me to do so. 

Yes, it might be fun. Too bad it is only fun for a handful of people, who can buy themselves some chance. I do play too, every week since I joined Res, and my change of winning never moves from 0%. And I do not bother to buy more than 1 tickets, as even if I bought 100, that would just be wasted Tu, with the same "0%" written there. And it is really "fun" too, to read the same names repeated week after week as winners of the raffle.

On the other hand if the limit was 100 tickets, I also would buy that 100 tickets, and invest the 7500 TU instead of only 75. And it would be fun, because I would know that I have the same chance as everyone else, and if my chance rate shows "0.2%" I would know that everyone else has "0.2%" there, and I would really look forward to see who will be the lucky one this week... Maybe the pot wouldn't be 100 million, just 2 or 3 millions, still, I would be more willing to invest more.

With 10000 tickets, it requires 750000 TU a week to keep pace, which is well over the average user's level. I guess it is pocket money for those who already invest millions to the raffle every week, but those who do not play stocks cannot earn it so easily, and a lot of users struggle just to spare up for a seasonal egg that is 1 or 2 million. Maybe they would like to enjoy the raffle too, and have fun, because they have chance.

People do earn the amount of Tu they have. It's part of this game, not the whole reason, but it is part of it.I remember when I used to scrimp and save just to get an Iluvu egg, but it was fun to acheive the Tu. When I worked a little harder and got more, it was satisfying.  

In the real world should the government put restrictions on how many lottery tickets one person can buy? That would be taking away one of my personal rights to spend my money the way I wish to spend it. 

There is always an option of people pooling their Tu together and investing and then splitting the winnings. 

Please note: I never disagreed with the idea of a set limit, just wanting to point out all sides of a situation. I hope no one feels I have bashed their opinion, this is a great topic :)

No, real life lotteries do not have a limit because
1: it is not such a small society, but a huge one, so no-one really has enough money to buy half of all sold tickets (and actually if they did, that would cost more than what they could win)

2: the lotteries usually work with randomly picked numbers, so there are weeks that no-one wins at all. Or someone with a single ticket, can have picked the same numbers as you with the 5000 tickets, and gets half the money :).

But here is another suggestion: Do not limit the number of tickets bought, but limit the winning pot. I mean, the pot's amount wouldn't go above 10 million, no matter how many more tickets are sold. It would be interesting to see how that would affect the game :D. Would you buy tickets up to 9 million TU to have a higher chance to win the 10 million, and gain only 1 mill+? Or would you only buy up to 100k, because you cannot win much? And then maybe someone who bought tickets for 5 million would get the pot, and gain 5 mill+ :D. Now that would be an interesting game... It would not worth it to hoard tickets any more, it would be more about calculating chances and risks :P.

LOL, well that is one way! Thats kinda interesting:)

So why not computer generated numbers? Even though people could buy more tickets it really wouldn't guarantee them the chosen number.

Even though the odds may be against me, it's still my choice to invest and some lucky day I just may win that pot of 100 million Tu.  

It just seems like a personal right would be taken away. I'm just weird like that!

Yet I would love to see a user who works pretty hard and plays fair win a huge pile of Tu, by only investing in a minimal amout tickets. I do agree that if a limit is imposed it should not be set at 100.

If you can't decide between 100 and 10000 ... take 1000!! XD

I support the limit. ^^ 

Hmm, harry potter wins again.

Omg! I totally agree with this full support!

But then if everyone could only put in 100 tickets a day it would decrease the pot's value.

LOL, Whit, what about those who refuse to play because they do not have the tu to compete with the heavy players?  I'm sure the raffle would be more popular with those who make up the vast majority of players.

Ease of coding should not be a priority. Enjoyment of the game should at any rate.

A daily limit would give the advantage to those who were online daily as well rather than only once or twice a week.  It would be a loyalty boost for Rescreatu.
