Alright guys, you complain that it's gambling for kids. COunter-arguement:It will teach them an appreciation of their earned money, and to save up for things, instead of spending it impulsively. Also, you think that children don't know or enter lotteries? Not Lotto Max or something, but class activities, or putting names into a hat, etc. They aren't going to gamble all they own because of the lottery. Besides, the lottery only happens once every month. |

Ok so let's do the math. If say 100 people put in their 100 tixs, that add's up to 100,000 tixs. By the current market 100,000 tix = 6,384 Robux. But as the lottery continue's, Tix will gain more value, since they will be wanted more and will increase winning's. This is why and how the system will be mostly run by players and will be self sustaining. |

So,
100,000
that tix doubles
and someone wins lets say
150,000 (because of more buys)
then no tix is burned, and the tix is worth more

if someone wins they should get a hat that is like a lottery ticket |

@IKalk Exactly, that is what will happen if we have this lottery.
@ChaseTvmonster I agree, just something fun for people who use it.
I appreciate all this support guys, means a lot to see some people taking a interest. |

This is a really good idea buy sadly I think there's a rule about having a lottery or something like that but I would really like this imagine if we could spend 10 tix on a lottery ticket gear and then there will be a twitch livestream of them picking a number and you could win 1000 rubux :D |

Well you see the fact is, Roblox does in fact have Gambling. When you purchase a Limited Hat, Face, or Gear. When you purchase these you are playing a gamble on whether or not you'll get equal or greater of what you spent. This lottery would just be a way that NBC can actually get some decent pay, while only waiting 10 days. It would be a completely fair lottery. |

While this is a solid solution to ticket inflation, it is a sort of "stupid tax" similar to IRL lotteries, and endorses gambling for children. A similar instance of this was in the Pokemon series, where you could exchange ingame money (easily earned from beating trainers) to tokens which could be used in a gaming center with slot machines and such. Lawsuits were filed and since Platinum, there has been no more game corner. I fear that lawsuits would occur if tickets were allowed to be used in any form of gambling whatsoever. |

Make it so players have to be 13+ of age to enter this lottery. There is probably going to be no way to stop under 13 of age players, so it's my best shot. |

Very solid points. Roblox forms it's own economy for they can use the game's economy to get them their money, while providing us a game of which we play. Hats, faces, and gears are all apart of it. It can be considered Gambling. Now, the point of the lottery is to fix their problem. Roblox by making a lottery, is not promoting Gambling. Schools in the system do lottery's and Raffles all the time, yet no one call's them out on "promoting gambling". Besides, Roblox is a free styled game. We could all go make our own play's for people to Play Gamble if we want. |

Just thought of another cool manic we could at to this. Every now and then roblox will buy a limited off a player who is selling the limited, and add it as a bonus to the lottery winnings. The limited of course will need to be randomly selected out of a list of them, and of course be of a decent to average value. What do you guys think? |
