    A 4% chance to "win" 1b, and a (steep) 96% chance to get nothing. Expected value is 40m, with a cost of 50m to play. A losing bet, so I'll leave this crowdfunding attempt to someone else.

    If you're trying to emulate lotteries, you should account for difference in price and perceived potential loss/earnings. A lotto ticket is literally $2 (according to google), and people will play for the "what if". 50m is a steep price point comparatively and will likely have trouble getting people interested. The people who would be able to pay2play at 50m entry is limited, and would probably rather just buy or roll for the spec outright. Just my $2 though.

    Yeah problem is, ain't no one wanna roll (yes I've tried, even offered redemption rolls(where if you lose first roll you can reroll, but if you fail to beat my first roll in both rolls then you lose and pay). I can lower the price of spots reserved but then I'm not keeping track of whoever enters since it can exceed 100+ people easily.

    If you can't keep track, no one would want to enter either.
    People like SkuireSkuire did raffle in the past, and they did it for hobby, not for profit.
    And since their raffle is free, people don't bitch even if they take ten thousand years to give out the rewards.

    And also moominsmoomins 's mule contest

    LF> other 10 people to give me 50m each
    We'll play the raffle all together, afterwards you'll all get 1b / 11 => 90m each (40m profit)
