Hi,
You guys must be aware of the popular cloudmining website Hasnet.com
Yes you are, most of you, definitely! Here's the thing: they have lucky hash where you get to buy tickets(max 100 per round per user) priced at 0.001BTC each. At the end of the round a lucky draw is carried out and winner takes all i.e ~3BTC worth Antminer s7.
I'm interested in making a similar website where you get 2.9 BTC and we keep the 0.1BTC for running the website, etc.
How's the idea? i know it's stolen but will it work? Anyone thinks it's cool? If a site like that is up and running we could even use Blockchain based gaming interface or session based game integration like just-dice or satoshidice. What say folks?
P. S.- I'm not a programmer.

This could work!
Remove the maximum (that would just annoy).
Ask people to input, no need really to have a website, just do it manually on the forum in games and rounds section.
Pay 2.999 to each user (at the start).
Sell 3000 tickets and pay instantly (based on last block not next).

Probably better to start with 500 tickets and a prize of 0.495BTC to get te word of moth going and the game to be trustworthy.

If you do it through the forum, let me know and I can maybe help.  Even doing it through here, you should probably have at least a one page website where people can see things like the history.
