Ok, I didn't read all your first post because it is really long. So forgive me if my questions was covered in it.

But this looks like too easy money, as far I could see, there will be 10 tickets of 0.1, so I just need to send 0.1 from 10 different address (1 BTC total) and I will receive 8.5 BTC (after the house rake). Am I right?


Another thing, I couldn't see the point of the house rake. on the first draw the winner will receive 8.5 BTC, on the second draw, the winner will receive 9.775 BTC, on the third draw 9.96625. As you could see, the winnings will tend to 10 BTC.
So, why the need of house rake?
