heh, it would probably be harder to set up but i like the traditional "powerball" style idea better. (where the pot rolls over if no one wins)

when the powerball is at 15 mil, nobody cares, but when it reaches 200Mil, seems like everyone and their mother goes to buy tix

I dont think the user base is large enough to generate an enticing pot at only $100 per ticket. And if we allow players to buy many multiple tickets per draw, the rich benefit much more than the poor. (why even set such a low amount if all the wealthy players are gonna buy 10 tix each?... people who can only afford $100 are still getting screwed)

as a result i think it would only work to set a strict limit on the number of tickets purchasable/ drawing period (maybe 1, maybe 2), and i think out of necessity the pot needs to roll over week after week. It shouldn't be easy to win either.
