Proposal
Recently, the dutch team started hosting a lottery, however, this has been a lot of work. Our suggestion is creating a game feature that allows the Community Manager to set up a lottery.
Current Workaround
People create tickets, telling how many tickets they want to purchase and a moderator removes the money from their ingame bank account. Then the amount of tickets is added to a spreadsheet. When the deadline has passed, a random number is drawn and the ticket owner of that number receives a prize.
Details
The CM can enable a lottery and choose prizes through the admin tools. When the lottery is active, a small icon will appear at the left of your screen (similar to the fair and events), clicking it will send you to a screen where you can buy tickets and see information on the lottery. When the deadline has passed a winner is drawn and the prizes will be given to the winners.
Abuse Prevention
Lotteries are chance-based, so it's close to impossible to abuse it. Abuse by team members is a lot more difficult using this system.
Visual Aids
Here you can see a concept of the lottery screen. You can see the prizes to the left, the "buy a ticket"-button in the center right and the information on the amount of sold and held tickets in the bottom right.
When clicking "buy a ticket", you get forwarded to the next screen:
Summary
An easier way to organize lotteries for moderator teams.
