Overview
The Gold Coin Raffle is a server-wide lottery system where players buy entries using gold from their backpack. Every 7 days a winner is drawn automatically, and the entire prize pool is awarded to a single lucky player. The more entries purchased across all players, the bigger the prize!
The gold raffle stone is located in Mainstreet near the steps.
How It Works
Entering the Raffle
- Find the Gold Coin Raffle Stone in Mainstreet (it appears as a gold-hued stone).
- Double-click the stone to open the raffle gump.
- Click the Buy Entry button to purchase an entry for 10,000 gold.
- The gold is consumed directly from your backpack.
- You will see a confirmation message: "You have entered the Gold Coin Raffle with gold from your backpack. Good luck!"
Multiple Entries
You can purchase as many entries as you like. Each additional entry increases your odds of winning. Every entry you buy also adds 10,000 gold to the prize pool, so more entries means a bigger payout for the eventual winner.
The Drawing
The raffle draws automatically every 7 days. The exact date and time of the next drawing is displayed on the raffle stone and inside the gump window. When the drawing occurs:
- A single winner is selected at random from all entries.
- The winner receives the full prize pool as a Bank Check inside a Gift Box, deposited into their bank. If their bank is unavailable, it goes to their backpack instead.
- A server-wide broadcast announces the winner, the prize amount, and when the next raffle will draw.
- The raffle resets and a new 7-day cycle begins.
Minimum Prize
The prize pool has a guaranteed minimum of 25,000 gold. Even if fewer than three players enter, the winner will receive at least 25,000 gold.
The Raffle Gump
When you double-click the raffle stone, a window opens showing all relevant information:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Description | A brief explanation of how the raffle works. |
| Next Drawing | The date and time of the upcoming draw. |
| Prize Pool | The current total gold in the pot. |
| Buy Entry Button | Click to spend 10,000 gold and enter the raffle. |
| # Entries | The total number of entries from all players this cycle. |
| Last Drawing | Shows the previous winner's name, prize amount, and draw date. |
| Biggest Winner | Shows the all-time largest prize winner, amount, and date. |
Tips & Strategy
- More entries = better odds. Each entry you buy gives you one additional chance in the drawing. If there are 20 total entries and you bought 5 of them, you have a 25% chance to win.
- Watch the prize pool. The raffle stone displays the current prize pool on its tooltip without needing to open the gump. Hover over it to check.
- Timing doesn't matter. It makes no difference whether you enter early or late in the cycle — all entries are equally valid at the time of drawing.
- Check the stone regularly. The "Last Drawing" and "Biggest Winner" sections let you see how large prizes have gotten in the past.
- Keep gold in your backpack. The raffle only accepts gold directly from your backpack, not from your bank or any ledger.
Odds & Prize Scaling
| Total Entries | Prize Pool | Your Odds (1 entry) | Your Odds (5 entries) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 | 50,000 gold | 20% | 100% |
| 10 | 100,000 gold | 10% | 50% |
| 25 | 250,000 gold | 4% | 20% |
| 50 | 500,000 gold | 2% | 10% |
| 100 | 1,000,000 gold | 1% | 5% |
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What happens if I'm offline when the drawing occurs?
A: You don't need to be online. If you win, the prize is deposited directly into your bank box. You'll see it the next time you log in and check your bank.
Q: Can I enter on multiple characters?
A: Yes, each character can buy entries independently.
Q: Is there a limit to how many entries I can buy?
A: No. You can buy as many entries as you can afford.
Q: Where does the prize go if my bank is full?
A: The system will attempt your bank first, then your backpack. If neither works, you'll receive a message to contact staff.
Q: What does the prize look like?
A: You receive a colored Gift Box containing a Bank Check for the full prize amount.
