[REJECTED] [Suggestion] Add jackpot drawings every 3 months

Instead of only having 1 drawing once a year, I think that we should have small drawings every 3 months, to give a little more excitement to the server. Plus it would get the credits flowing more IMO.
Reasons behind this:
- Gives fun for the community.
- Will give people a chance to win credits, that may have taken them months to get.
- Something for a lot of people that become burnt out on the server to look forward to.
vote! =)
If you do not like the suggestion, please explain why. Thanks
Due to a good suggestion, every 3 months is the new suggestion.

Just because you like a certain food, doesn't mean you should eat it every single night.

I would rather have it every 3 months, or just twice a year. But not every month.

Good things: Stimulates economy
Takes credits out of system
Not too often
Bad things: gives random money
not as exciting.
IDK about this...

I see a few potential flaws in this. Say you win the lottery 4 times in a row (I know it's a stretch, but stay with me). Let's say the jackpot is 300k each time, you made 1.2 mil. The point is you don't really have to work for your credits, and the lottery seems to be kind of like an exclusive thing, not something that happens all the time. Just my opinion.

Assuming you buy 100 tickets each time (Which is a lot), the chances of you winning four times in a row are around 1 in a billion. Probability theory makes your net gain (A weighted average by the chance of each outcome) in this case given the aforementioned probabilities (assuming 500rc/ticket) be equal to -5000rc, so I don't think we need to worry about this.

Then it'd be to easy to become a hundred-thousandare. For ex: if id win, id share A LOT with my guild. My guild now has a lot of money. And since I have a larger guild say we win 2 times in a year. Wed be decked. I don't want that.
