the problem is unless the lottery is actually coded into the game many people are not going to play as they dont trust other players with running it.

as for the idea being for higher level or "big time" players. nobody said you had to accept their challenge, but yes the more active players will be able to train, or tweak their car or dog faster.

a second point is that Zen has been running a lottery. once a month she runs a contest and more often than not lately they are essentially a lottery, some may depend more on activity than others but a jail busting competition with a 50% success rate more or less equates to a lottery.
