Lottery Pool allows you to better manage your server economy by allowing players to take in lotteries that are automatically made every (configurable) minutes.

I appreciate everyone for all the downloads but I'll be taking this plugin to premium. The free version will no longer have any updates, only the premium plugin will actively have updates and support.
(Plugin support for Spigot 1.14 will be only for premium)

CLICK HERE FOR THE PREMIUM VERSION!

Features

Have a server restart? We have a system made so your current lottery session won't be lost!
Multiple tickets setting (default is 1 and it's recommended to balance the economy)
Set your own lottery session interval and duration.
Anti-Configuration Crash system - Set a wrong Material/Sound name? Not to worry, the plugin is coded to not crash and still work!
Periodic file saving system - PREMIUM FEATURE
Number formatted placeholders - PREMIUM FEATURE
A percentile chance to not have winners every lottery session (mimics in-real life lotteries) - PREMIUM FEATURE
Ability to retain the last lottery pool amount (configurable) if no winners was chosen in the last lottery session(s) - PREMIUM FEATURE
Fully configurable

This plugin support versions below 1.13! To make it work w/o errors, (it shouldn't even crash your server, I have made a system where it doesn't crash your server if it's a lower version) please disable bossbar in the config.yml. - then it should work flawlessly on any versions!

Dependencies

VAULT
Any economy plugin.

How does it work?

Players are notified via chat and/ or the creation a boss bar whenever a lottery is in-progress.

(Initial boss bar message when the lottery session has just begun)

(As the lottery session progresses)

(Boss bar turns red after a (configured) amount of time is left on the clock.)

Players are then given the choice to participate via a custom and very interactive graphical user interface (GUI). Administrators that has root access to the server are able to set a default ticket price/tax/amount of tickets purchasable per player which when the player buys, it uses a intelligent system to add the amount to the lottery pool.

Players are able to access a GUI to see the participants of the current lottery-session and also how many tickets each participants has to gauge their winning chances.

After the configured lottery duration, a random winner (EVEN IF THE PLAYER IS OFFLINE, HE/SHE CAN WIN, the money will be deposited into their account.) will be selected. - More tickets = more chances, of course.

(A very good way of making your players use their money, allowing the poorer players to gain some fast cash too whilst doing their chores, they can wait on the lottery results. - if you make only 1 ticket is purchasable per player.)

Extra countermeasures are also taken to ensure that once a player has maxed out their participation in a lottery session, they cannot participate again. Also, when there is no current on-going lotteries, the player too cannot participate.

Time duration & time till the next lottery is also shown in the graphical user interface.

Hooray, the reborn version is out now, what's new!?

Well, we have several new things, but it's best for you to check it out yourself!

A revamped Lottery Session system.
A smart page system now added to the view players.
Plugin is fully optimized now.
You can basically customize anything now, from names, to lores, to slot numbers, to sizes and more!

How does it work?

Players are notified via chat and/ or the creation a boss bar whenever a lottery is in-progress.

(Boss bar turns red after a (configured) amount of time is left on the clock.)

Players are then given the choice to participate via a custom and very interactive graphical user interface (GUI). Administrators that has root access to the server are able to set a fixed amount of lottery price which when the player buys, it uses a intelligent system to add the amount to the lottery pool.

Players are able to check who is currently participating in the current lottery by accessing the players' list menu.

The lottery will end after the configured duration, and a random winner is selected. The winner takes all - he/she takes all that is in the lottery pool.

(A very good way of making your players use their money, allowing the poorer players to gain some fast cash too whilst doing their chores, they can wait on the lottery results.)

Extra countermeasures are also taken to ensure that once a player is participated in a lottery, they cannot participate again. Also, when there is no current on-going lotteries, the player too cannot participate.

Time duration & time till the next lottery is also shown in the graphical user interface.
