Before you flame me for my stupidity, I AM aware that lottery-related suggestions won't be account for - but this is different.
Ok, face it - ROBLOX has evolved to represent the reality works of economy awfully accurately. We have marketplace fees, frequent retails - even a system for bartering items! So, I've come with an idea that could add to this real-time cycle of income and outcome - an OFFICIAL Roblox lottery. I'm not talking about some scamming, profit arts lottery scheme, but ambitious employees of Roblox could establish an all-available lottery. The reason I explained this is different, because not some undeserving, random guy would receive flounders of R$ for no such sense. See, this business would be set by admins. There'd be a site-wide button for tempted users to click. Anyone on this site can enter, but only people who WANT to enter this lottery are eligible. The jackpot in this lottery is based of consumers and users.
The more tickets bought, the higher the jackpot raises. Because you have to PAY, in order to purchase a ticket. So therefore, the jackpot would raise. Let's say one week, five-hundred users purchase one ticket, selling at 2 R$. Then the jackpot would result in 1000 R$, and we'd have a winner at the end of the week. That's not all - users would be able to buy multiple tickets in order to increase chances of winning - however, they cost another 2 R$, and there's a maximum of entries you could buy (otherwise, all the wealthier people would spend everything on all the entries, then win the lottery every time).
So what could happen, is once a ticket is purchased, the player's name is entered in a list. Multiple tickets transacted would mean their name would appear on this list multiple times. At the end of entry timing, the list would be randomized and a random selection of one player would account. That particular user would win that week's lottery! So just like lotteries in reality, this one is a chancy, popular gamble!
If you're supportive of this suggestion, say "Support". If not, then feel free to trash and flame me - I'm virtually emotionless. |

| Lotteries are legally gambling and therefore you have to be 18 or older to buy a lottery ticket in real life. So no. Being sued isn't fun. |

| Okay,this won't be that great.I DO NOT support.Rich people,or who have a successful game,can enter MULTIPLE times,like they can enter 50 times and only spend 100 R$,which they will probably win the lottery and win the 1,000R$,or something,and he would have made an extra 900R$.Like those people who bought those 400,000+ worth of ROBLOX Tablets as a Gear,they would enter multiple times which would raise the amount from them and OTHER people which will make them even MORE successful. |

Support, but adding on Tickets are 25 robux, and only 20 goes into the jackpot when someone buys, so the prize isnt TOO big, and random noobs dont buy. You can only enter 10 times per lottery, so rich people dont go all out and win all the time. ---------------------------------------------- Also, this is just my opinion, this is like a seperate idea: TBCs and up (so TBC has a cool option) can make thier OWN lottery, Like have multiple winners (up to 10) and split up the money that they get( the money goes in savings, NOT to the player hosting the lottery) to different winner slots (like 2nd, 3rd, 4th). They can also put is some of thier own limteds in the lottery for people to win.

| This whole idea would make it actually possible for people to get a dominus, or a sparkle time fedora. Only the admins get those hats, and it would make roblox more exciting! :D |

I'm going to have to agree with that. No way this is going to happen. |

| I might make a lottery like ROBLOX did. And the profits I got from sells would go towards the jackpot! |

@Sk8ter If you actually cared to read my complete suggestion, I've thoroughly mentioned to resolve this possibility, there'd be a maximum of tickets you could enter, to prevent this situation altogether.
The cap could be something like five, ten tickets for all candidates. |

1. Change the name. 2. Only allow a certain number of entries. 3. Up the price on a ticket.
