The first ever 5 Houses Drawing is rapidly approaching. Only 13 hours to purchase your tickets before the 10pm Eastern drawing. Hopefully everything will run without a glitch. We shall find out. But get those tickets now! Heck, I even got myself a few.

I know. I initially had it at 15 numbers, but it's not like we have 2 million people here buying tickets. So I tried to get a combination that wasn't too difficult to obtain but not too easy either. I don't want people winning every week. But I feel with the odds, I should get people winning every few months or so, on average. Of course, that all depends on how often people are playing. The more the merrier.

Just 25 more minutes! Can you sense the anticipation. I'm gonna go backup my database in case my script fries the server.

The odds are a little higher then currently posted seeing as it wasn't possible to pick the winning number

Looks like nobody won! Highest payout was 10 credits to 2 people. I'm gonna modify it a little bit so starting next week you can view the payouts to see who won what.

Yeah, that first time was sort of a bust. Good thing I resolved it quickly enough.

If you're asking if I could choose 1s for all the numbers, the answer is yes. For each House, you can choose any number between 1 and 8, inclusive.
