(Not trying to mini-mod but...)
You should check this thread before posting
You'll need to tag it according to the thread or it will be deleted by a mod.

(What Ampha said)
& a few other things.
If you are relying on people entering so you can do their entries as prizes, who's to say that it will become popular.
I'm basically saying, if you get a few entries but then nobody else enters, its a bit unfair on the people who pre-pay if they never even get a chance of winning as there ain't enough prizes.
Idk if its just me who thinks this but...m yeah. Bye xD

First. There is no tag.

Second,
Quote from Contest Gide and Rules
=Lottery=-
Tag: [L]
Description:
Lottery is a gambling competition in which people obtain numbered tickets, each ticket having the chance of winning a prize.
Tickets have to be bought or obtained through some kind of activity (eg. interacting with specific Pokemon).
The price of a ticket should be worth less than a grand prize!
Usually it is max ~1% value of the main prize.
At a set time, the winners are drawn (usually by random.org).


And your post violates both the rules I pointed out.

EDIT: You need to put the tag on the title of the post, not on the post itself

You have to tag the main title with [L]
Also, the prizes don't seem very realistic...

Wait.
Just so I get this right. You want users to buy tickets with Mega Stones. Once there is a total amount of 100 Mega Stones, you will then keep 40 Mega Stones for yourself and distribute the remaining 60 Mega Stones among 3 users?

Yes. That's pretty much the case.

Honestly it seems a bit dodgy/scam-like.

What happens if you never reach the goal but people already sent in some Mega Stones? Will you give them back? Because, seriously, I highly doubt you'll get those 100 Mega Stones. Probably not even 10. Mega Stones are worth a lot and, in case they're a collector and intend to complete their dexes, every user needs about 60 Mega Stones to complete the Mega Dex. You won't find many users willing to give away their Mega Stone/s and risk losing it/them.

but they also get a profit of many mega stones so i believe that they will participate think that if a user sends me 1 mega stone then if he win he will get a profit of 24 megastones or 19 mega stones or 14 mega stones

how would it be a profit for someone whos' donated 10+ mega stones, if the person with one mega stone ends up winning though? that person who donated 10+ just lost out a small fortune, considering each mega stone sells anywhere between 500-700k?

those people, like Liirah said, could wait a really/REALLY long time before you reach your goal of 100 mega stones, why are you keeping 40 mega stones for yourself? why aren't more being distributed to the possible winners?

idk, I just feel like having a lotto where you buy a ticket by giving a megastone just isn't right, nor does this contest seem all that...legit, to be honest.

it is not allowed to donate 10+ mega stones in my lottery and i will only allow to donate 1 or 2 mega stones and the prizes will be taken out by random.org and if this raffle is mine then do i dont have a right to keep some mega stone and i am also keeping less than the trainers as they are getting 60 and i will get 40 and the thread for making the forum says that the prize of the lottery shold be bigger than the price they are donating.

Only 1-2 mega stones? Just saying,that would make the wait even longer. So you expect over 50 people to send you mega stones? Even on lotto's where you only have too send 1 normal gem or something they pretty much never get anywhere near 50 entries...

Adding on to Connor, you have mentioned no where on your thread that it is not allowed to donate more than 10 mega stones.

Quote from the main postplease donate them the more you donate the less time you will get prizes


Quote from one of your posts in this thread i will only allow to donate 1 or 2 mega stones


You're literally contradicting yourself here.

I'll lock this thread now. The goal of this lottery simply is extremely unlikely to happen and, to be honest, it sounds rather fishy, too.
