JediMUD Lottery

Registered by James Gamble

If possible, it would be great if the JediMUD Lottery could be automated. Below I've posted the outline of how the lottery was supposed to work manually:

The JediMUD lottery is a great way for you, the player to earn fabulous
wealth at minimal risk!

This is how it works:

1. The lottery will run weekly starting on Monday morning at 12:00 AM
EST and ending on Saturday night at 11:59 PM EST.

2. The starting pot size will be $25,000 gold coins.

3. Tickets will cost $25,000 gold coins each and there is no limit to
how many you may purchase.

4. Each ticket will consist of three non-duplicate numbers, 1-15.

5. 15% of the total ticket sales will be deducted from the pot as an
administrative fee upon payout.

6. In the event of a tie, the pot minus the administrative fee will be
split among the winning ticket holders.

7. In the event that there are no winners, the pot will be added to the
next week's base pot of $25,000 gold coins. This will happen, week after
week until there is a winner.

8. Drawings will be held Sunday morning of each week with the results
posted on the quest and web board.

9. The dieroll 15 command will be used to select the winning numbers.
The drawings will be held at The Temple of Midgaard.

10. Payment will be made with the SendMoney command to the player
name(s) with the winning ticket(s).

Players may order tickets by speaking with Silverking while he is
online, or by mudmailing him the numbers you want along with a payment
of $25,000 gold coins with the SendMoney command. The mudmail and the
$25,000 fee must both come from the same player name, within a few
minutes of each other, to be accepted.

Using these guidelines, would an automated Lottery solution be viable?

Arizhel: Here's a thought. We could automate the ticket purchasing process as well instead of requiring you to be online or to use sendmoney to gather the proceeds. I know Aardwolf sports a fully automated lottery system. :)
