    Hey,

    I've just finished (finally!) a lottery script that I'm hoping to soon start selling, either through DigitalPoint, or some other medium.

    Anyway, the demo site (THIS IS TOTALLY DEMO: NO REAL PRIZES, NO CASH, NOTHING!! JUST LOOK AT IT AND ENJOY!) ..... http://www.lotteryscript.com

    Has fully functioning lotto game, with space for ads on draw page.

    Sponsor admin area (to log in to demo account, visit "advertiser" page, and use credentials: pangea//pangea

    Admin area is similar to sponsor area, except with a lot more options, and full control over the site - but I'm not opening that up to the public yet - only when I start selling the script will I show the admin area, or at least screenshots.

    Basically, what price guide should I be looking at? A similar script, with less features retails at $14 - I was thinking maybe $19.99??

    Thanks in advance

    PS: If you find any bugs, please let me know!! Though I have tested it intensively!

    Doesn't look too bad, I would say $20+ would be a good price.

    Doesn't look too bad at all.

    Could a malicious user make automatic entries, i.e. entries made programmatically time and again to get a winning entry?

    Is 0,0,0,0 a potential, valid winning combination? Why choose any other number?

    Could you potentially have many simultaneous wins with the same numbers, e.g. if 0,0,0,0 is valid?

    Paypal take a commission. Would your 1 in 10 prize be large enough to make a player think it was worth it, i.e more than the commission, but small enough to leave you a profit? Unless the idea is no-one really wins 1 in 10 times.

    It looks like a good idea, but the site is really messed up in IE6. The home page doesn't draw correctly, and the secondary page was filled with so much garbage it almost crashed the browser. Now, iE6 is a bit old, but some people still use it ...
