MarianHärtel Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Is it possible to set the size of the lottery? Like instead of 6 of 49 (which is very unlikely to win) to have a 3 of 10 or something like that? Link to comment

Most lotteries I know about are 6 for jackpot etc. I can look into other ways it could go though Link to comment

Tripp★ Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 I'm not sure if it's just me but for some reason why I buy a ticket, after I've purchased it, I go straight back to the homepage of my site, which is jarring if I want to buy more tickets. Is there anyway that I can force it to remain on the same page after buying a ticket? Link to comment

Joel R Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Questions: When you hit the draw time, does that draw become disabled?? Does it roll over? I don't understand what happens. I tested on your site IPSDev.org, and I'm still able to claim a free ticket for your weekly free draw that ended April 30. Suggestions: Automated lotteries - I love the idea but I don't have time to babysit weekly or monthly draws. Is this something that can be automated. # of Tickets - If a user purchased a ticket, add icon to lottery that shows # of tickets Time left - Show a countdown to the draw time. That makes it easier to understand as "4 days out" instead of "June 22nd 17:00 PM" Custom icons - Because custom icons are pretty Other kinds of lotteries: Scratchers -- Match up symbols or numbers on a scratch card for instant win. Allow Admins to add in custom icons or font awesome. Daily -- Only 3 or 4 numbers and runs every day Bugs: Error code - I think you're missing langstring Link to comment

Is this something that can be automated. yeah should be easy enough to do, probably just a task run hourly to see if the draw is past the time, if it is, run this query and draw it 6 hours ago, Joel R said: # of Tickets - If a user purchased a ticket, add icon to lottery that shows # of tickets Yeah I can look into that, Once a draw is made there is a list of last draws in the results page, each of them has a button to link to the tickets for that draw only, I know that is not the amount you own for now but it will show the tickets you own for that draw only 6 hours ago, Joel R said: Time left - Show a countdown to the draw time. That makes it easier to understand as "4 days out" instead of "June 22nd 17:00 PM" I can look into that too 6 hours ago, Joel R said: Custom icons - Because custom icons are pretty custom icons? is that the icons for the tickets or numbers? 6 hours ago, Joel R said: Other kinds of lotteries: Scratchers -- Match up symbols or numbers on a scratch card for instant win.

Joel R Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 4 hours ago, TheJackal84 said: The draws, I am sure will allow the tickets to be bought until the draw it made My point is that you're allowing tickets to be bought even after the draw is made, which confused me. For example, on your site (which I understand is only a demo), you have some weekly draws that ended April 30. But I can still get tickets for those lotteries. 4 hours ago, TheJackal84 said: custom icons? is that the icons for the tickets or numbers Custom icons for each lottery. Your currently using an FA icon. Link to comment

I have added it so that it will not allow you to buy tickets after the draw time, Although they will only see the draw for a maximum of 30 minutes after it ends, there is also a task set every 30 minutes to check if the draws have been drawn, if not it will check the time of the draw and if the time of the draw is past the actual time, they will all automatically get drawn I have also added some forum topic settings, once the game is drawn it will create a topic ( if enabled ) and also ( if enabled ) you can allow it to post to that topic when someone claims a winning ticket saying congrats of something Joel R 1 Link to comment
Joel R Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 That's amazing. The forum topic is a great idea to publicly keep track of the lottery wins as a public record. Suggestion: I think a custom notification should go out to all participants to let them know a draw has been made. And a custom notification to the winner. Still crossing my fingers for automated lotteries that roll over the winnings. That can really stack up the winnings! On 3/8/2018 at 9:01 AM, TheJackal84 said: You can set it to 3 /4 / 5 / 6 numbers.

That might make it easier to win. I agree with the other wish to only have like three numbers from 0 to 10. Link to comment

I agree with the other wish to only have like three numbers from 0 to 10. there is a lot more lotteries than I know of so they could do them differently, I am just on about the UK ones basically, In the UK 6 is say 10 million, 5 is shocking at about 500k, 4 is like 2.5k and 3 is 10 lol PS you can make the topic creation look quite nice actually and not just a boring post Edited June 20, 2018 by TheJackal84 Joel R 1 Link to comment

Yeah a notification could be done when the draw is made, the winners don't get announced until they check their ticket, until they check it there is no winners, It is that way because I was / still might add it so they have a certain amount of time to claim their tickets Link to comment
Joel R Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Oh I see. That makes sense and it's like the real world. You don't actually win until you claim the ticket. TheJackal84 1 Link to comment
TheJackal84 Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Updated to 1.0.3 New Features Each draw will be automatically drawn with-in 30 minutes of the draw start date if it is not manually drawn in the ACP Added the ability to post a topic when the draw is complete with your chosen information on that draw You can choose to reply to the topic posted when a user claims a winning ticket with your selected information about their winning Joel R 1 Link to comment
