  • You may not enter for someone else on their behalf.
  • Forum entries will not be accepted.
  • Please do not spam the support system, I have specifically created this thread to handle all queries and only queries.
  • Community Managers reserve the right to disqualify any player from the draw.


How to enter:
[Spoil]
  • You can only enter via the support ticket system.
  • Send in a Support Ticket with the title "Weekly draw entry #x (x replaced with the actual draw number of the week).
  • Choose the correct world you wish to have the funds deducted.
  • Choose the category 'Other' when sending in the ticket.
  • In the body of the ticket, please indicate in which category you would like to enter ($5000, $10000 or $15000). If you wish to enter multiple categories, please specify how many times in which categories you wish to enter. Please indicate the amount you are aware that will be deducted from your bank account in the body of the message.
  • You will get a response within 72 hours of entry. If not, please reply on your ticket, do not create a new ticket.
  • Failure to enter correctly may result in your character being disqualified from that weekly draw.
Ticket World | The world you want to enter in Ticket Type | Other Title | Weekly Draw #X (replace X with current week) Body | Hi, please enter me 2x into Elite and 5x into General category for a total of 55k. Thank you
[/Spoil]
Prizes:
[spoil]
  • There are 3 categories: Elite ($15,000); Pro ($10,000) and General ($5,000)
  • Each category has 3 prizes. The value of these items is decreasing from Elite to General category.
  • Prizes vary from week to week, but we are trying to offer mostly named and special items, certainly no items you can buy in town shops.
  • Each 50th entry is rewarded with a Steel lined box and a Bag with a rare product. Note: The list of entries is randomized before extracting winners.
[/spoil]
How the winners are extracted:
[spoil]
  • For Elite prizes, 3 random names are extracted from a list of names containing Elite entries only.
  • For Pro prizes, 3 random names are extracted from a list of names containing Elite and Pro entries.
  • For General prizes, 3 random names are extracted from a list of names containing Elite, Pro and General entries.
  • Note: A player from world X can win only ONE prize in the same category no matter how many entries were created. Obviously an Elite entrant can win ONE prize in Elite, Pro and General category in the same draw, but only ONE prize per category. Spot prizes have no such restrictions. However the same player from world Y is considered a different entrant.
  • Extractions of winners is done without human interference. A computer program randomizes all entries and extracts 3 random unique names per category and subsequently (TotalNoOfEntries / 50) random unique names for each 50th spot prize.
[/spoil]
Weekly Lotto Subscription Service
[spoil]
  • Enter automatically for each weekly draw without the need to create further tickets!
  • Subscription is done for an undefined amount of weeks and runs until you cancel it.
  • Firstly you will need to open a new ticket under the option "Other" titling the ticket as "Weekly Lotto Subscription".
  • In the body of the ticket, please indicate how many times and what category you would like to enter each week.
  • If you wish to enter this service from more than one world, you will need to open a subscription ticket for each world you would like to have this service on.
  • We will automatically process your entry during the course of the week (usually Sunday), once your entry has been processed, you will receive a closed ticket from us indicating you have been entered into the weekly draw.
  • If by some chance you do not have available funds in your bank account we will presume you do not want to participate in that week and you will not be entered for that week.
  • As with normal entries, we do not offer refunds for this service.
  • You may cancel this service at any time by sending in a support ticket indicating you no longer wish to continue entering the weekly lotto draw.
[/spoil]

Rules, how to enter, prizes and subscription service are subject to change at any given time at the discretion of a Community Manager.

Quick question....is the draw number the week of the year?
Or #1 as its first week of the draw ??
 

DeletedUser8627

Each week will come with a number 1, 2, 3 etc... This is how many draws we previously had at the time you send in the ticket. This is the first one so you can have it as #1 and only #1. Next week will be #2 and so on.

And yes, I forgot to mention that, place the ticket under the 'Other' option.
 

DeletedUser34781

also do we confirmation if applied correctly or dis-qualified?

I think when the money gets drawn from your account you should see an account deduction which should be your confirmation.

My only fear is that people wont know what week it is. And get confused.

I would say that Da Twista needs to update his post each week to state...

We are currently in WEEK 1

then next week puts

WEEK 2

etc/.

anybody can explain me what is this campaign ?! i dont understand ! i read but dont understand :p
 

DeletedUser34729

does the secret item include all items in the game or the more rare items?
 

DeletedUser34781

its not a secret item.....read it again :) its all the 5k's entered by all the players....so in theory 100 people do it you win 500k....1 winner gets it all per week.

lottery basically pure random

Surely the Community Managers (or whomever handles support tickets) have better things to do then handling timeconsuming sweepstakes? Please let them stick to their job and help players with their problems instead of helping them get rid of their hard earned cash.

If players would like to gamble they can always buy chests from the UPB shop. Or buy those chests from the open market with cash.

You're assuming this is being done completely manually. Do you think when you have a problem with achievements they go through logs of every single action for a couple years and manually add up your numbers? Why do you think he was so specific about the title you should use in the entry ticket?

We are currently sitting with a pot of $145 000!

Let your town members know about the weekly draw so they can also enter ;) The more the merrier.

very true. Only about 1% of the game comes here anyway.

You cant enter on the forums anyway... it is all ingame support requests for entries. Makes sense to be an ingame event.
 

DeletedUser22685

Yeah but part of the point of this is to encourage users to come to the forum. And anyone complaining about this event is downright ungrateful and just looking for things to pick at.
