    Suggestion: Add a "booster" that costs usd that affects lotto similar to "weekend lottos" ie when the booster is active, buying a ticket below a certain time increases the time til draw by a certain amount.

    Reason: idk why not

    Any Other Information: nah

    Link To This Plugin/Is this a custom addition?: no idea

    Who decides when the booster is active?.

    I think it'd be better to have it as a once a week at, to use a random time, 12pm saturday, and continue for as long as it remains active, then, once it's over, revert to normal lottos


    Read another suggestion with boosters, now know what you're talking about xP

    I like the suggestion but would like to be expensive (and not automatic) so that it doesn't conflict with any staff-run event at the time like crazy lotto et cetera

    Lotteries like this are just annoying when done all the time. They should happen once a year or something.
    You'd just annoy people with this booster, and I don't think it would be a popular booster at all.

    With a high enough price point (I'm thinking between 1-2.5mil) it wouldn't be done /that/ often. right?

    Boosters are suggestions for USD features. Not ECD features.

    What's the point of that? A feature nobody will ever buy. People are selfish, they'll only buy something when they can profit from it. You can't profit from a lotto like that.

    Honestly $15 is a decent price point. Would be a good income and still be doable for users.

    -1 Weekend Lottos should be an extremely rare event, as Kuke said above. Having them being purchasable would make the event less prestigious and, honestly, would piss a lot of players off. Once a year is a bit much however. Once every 3 months would be my preference.
