The super lottery is based on email identifiers. The number of tickets someone receives in the free super lottery is based on the percentage they pledge to give to charity via bitcoin-chairity.com . If they pledge to give 40% of their winnings to charity they get If they pledge to give 20% of their winnings to charity they recieve 21 tickets. If they pledge 10% they receive 14 tickets. If they pledge 5% they recieve 7 tickets. If they pledge nothing then they recieve 1 ticket. The purpose behind the super lottery is for a big donation to charity. The winner of the super-lottery will be given one half of the winnings, after the donation is confirmed publicly for the amount specified they will receive the rest of the money. If they take the money and run the lottery will end and will not be resumed for an indefinite period of time.
We have no intention of coming away with a large profit from this venture. In fact I somehow doubt that we will profit form this more than a few BTC.
