I actually had a similiar idea where people can put stuff in a certain chest which has a timer for like 24hrs? and after times up, someone who has contributed would win the loot. Wouldnt be point to set a short timer as we already have lottos going on all the time just the bits of ideas.

Lol that would be fun too, at least something i guess lol. Would be cool have an option to claim the items like from auctioneer but you would be also able to choose items that u dont want so they dissapear or drop on the ground.

So it would basically be lotto with items instead of gp?
Only problem is, people throw in shit and then they win. Just like no limit lottery people buy 40 tickets and win with 99% chance.

Nope, no limit lotteries if there are 50 tickets total bought, 2 million GP pot, the person who bought 40 tickets spent 2 million to have a 80% chance of winning 2 million gp.

Like I said, there should be regulations, The basic idea from what I see is for people to put items they dont need but other players would love to have.

For example, I think I have 13 rune axes a bunch of baxes and stuff just piling up from drops. I could put in 10 rune hatchets, 76k high alch value. Since this is over 50k i'd have a chance to win the pot/lottery whenever it is drawn. The tricky thing is having a system to filter out troll items and junk in the chest.

High Alch doesnt really work because something like law runes, 1k laws = 100-120k in the AH but high alch they're only 7kGP

Could be a good Idea, put it in Draynor, someone was remarking about how they would like to see Draynor get busy again. I agree with this, Draynor was where I hung out a bunch merching. It has nostalgic value  to me. Would be cool to think of ways to attract people to it.

There are a few ideas on the forums that we could work into this.

1) locate this lotto chest in Draynor

2) create a skillers dungeon entrance in Draynor to bring some traffic to the place. 1500 TS seems about right. This is TNT'S Idea

3) move the AH from Lumby to Draynor, it is way too cramped in Lumby any way. We can just use the free port to edge to get to an AH.

4) add more certs as drops in game, like crafting things like bow strings/flax, high end logs, buckets of sand/soda ash white berries/Snape grass and so on to high end mobs and add ALL cert exchange NPCs to Draynor.

Can think of more things to add to boost the population of Draynor.

Not trying to hijack your thread , the chest is a good idea Ultra.
