FAQ
Q: How do I set the amount of money the jackpot should start with?
A: You need to set extraInPot to whatever amount you want it to start with, and then do clearExtraInPot: false
Q: The jackpot is winning too much, I don't want it to win.
A: Then you need to change the numberOfTickets to something else, or just set it to 0 (jackpot will never win then).

Configuration
In the configuration that is made when the plugin is run the first time, you don't get comments about the different options. Here you do!

Tutorial
PS: The /lottery claim command is used when you are using material and you win, since blocks/items can only be given to online players
would love to see some updates on this, it's a great plugin :)
How do you change the amount of time to minutes? PLZ HELP!!!
@mike9918
So I'm not sure what's going on. I can't get the lottery plugin to load I attached a screenshot of what is in the console...
would be nice if it would be possible to execute "/lottery draw" automatically if all tickets are sold
most simply lottery plugin :) and probably the best tbh.. Using this on my server :)

@xxfire17xx
You just set 'useiConomy' to true. this works with any economy plugin
How do i set it so the lottery is money i have essentails for econemy
i have "McMoney" plugin and i have 25 dollars and i cant buy a ticket, why,and im the owner so i can have all the commands
tax Target: '' example tax Target: 'Max633' ???
The tax will pay to Max633?
I was able to be translated into Chinese ?
Hey there, love the plug-in. I'd love to see the addition of signs tho. I have a casino and the lottery could have its own lottery, where people can see how much is in the pot, when the next draw is, and even buy tickets by hitting a sign.
Just a thought.
@Thepom360
Setting the total pot price, will not be supported as this would remove the pot contributions from the players buying the actual ticket.
The addtopot sub command allows you to add extra money to the pot, from a server admin position.
@Cymcraft
I would highly recommend against allowing that many tickets to be bought. Either configure a max ticket limit, or raise the price of the tickets so that more than a few thousands tickets is unobtainable.
@FuRiouSOne
This feature doesn't announce on its own, but appends a "40 sec till draw" style message on the end of ticket purchase messages.
I didn't want to add hard coded "2 minutes till draw" style messages, since the time keeping involved would likely be cpu expensive compared to the current solution.
Since most minecraft servers struggle to stay at exactly 20tps, using tickets as a measure of time is inaccurate.
I attempted to buy about 1,000,000 lottery tickets, and your plugin froze up and crashed my server to no return. I had to completely stop the server, remove lottery, and restart it. Just an FYI. I have a lot of big spenders on my server.
@Peepman99
Im sure this config option should allow that but it doesn't seem to work in game.
I do so apologise if this feature already exists, or if it has already been requested, but would it be possible for an announcement to be made a little bit before the lottery is drawn, such as "The lottery will be drawn in 5 minutes; buy to the max!"
@NoHoPeLess
Works Fine on my Server (1.7.9)
