So, I wanted a lottery that is slightly more realistic. One that allows your players to sell the tickets and gain some small profit. The plugin is currently in alpha, only been tested on our server. Basically, my aim is to: Let the players to sell tickets to other players, providing a valid extra donator perk. Allow a system where you can autobuy tickets if you have enough money. (Setup a autobuy command with desired amount). Allow two different kinds of lotteries co-exist at the same time, namely a short term lottery, draws every few hours and someone always wins, and a longterm lottery with draws every few days, with a chance that nobody wins and the jackpot piles up.

Features:

Allows designing players as vendors with set amount tickets they can sell at a time
Allows the players to participate in the short term-lottery
Config options for duration, lottery prices, vendor cut
Broadcasts about the lottery every 15 minutes. Changeable in config.

Planned features

Allow players to buy longterm lottery tickets
Allow players to setup autobuy
Create a shorter buy command
Config options for long-term win-change
Allow the vendors to buy more tickets for them to sell from the server
Allow the config to be easily edited ingame
