Pending Lottery Winner Restriction

[BrokenLync]

I feel that the lottery inherently favors those who have a lot of points. I believe there should at the very least be a function where if someone has won the lottery, they can’t participate in the next one, and afterwards they can participate again. A small mercy for those who lack points and want to gamble!

This is one of the better suggestions I've seen about the lottery.

A few months ago I had a strangle hold on it for a good 1-2 weeks and then lost everything I had TWICE to other staff. Its not like you're asking to ban anyone from it, put a bet limit, etc.
If there was a way to implement it easily I wouldn't be against it, feel like this would encourage more people placing lotto bets as well.

Since the lottery is player funded, you're lowering the pot significantly for a higher chance of winning

The lottery winnings will become:
10/10 Death 316K
10/11 Random 5K
10/12 Death 321K

That's very fair, I didn't think about it that way!

at least you have a decent shot at winning that 5k x d
Edit: also worth mentioning, people might be more inclined to put more into a lottery if they know they aren't going to get sniped by a 200k+ bet.

Yeah I'm fine with this. I think the lottery system should be designed to maximize enjoyment in its participation; this is a Garry's Mod server with valueless points, not a real-life lottery with money on the line. Frankly I think anyone who wants to be able to win the lottery each time is being selfish. How many lottery wins does one man need? Lol

I think the easy solve to this problem is to just limit the max amount you can bet to like 10k lol
