Greetings to all Sims 3 Simmers!
I have not hosted a game in a few years and I am hoping that this one might be fun and simple and not involve hours upon hours of work for me. Wish me luck?
Once-A-Day Lottery is about this. We have seven days per week, right? Every day of the week, I will do a little drawing using a random generator and will post a winner for the day. (I'm not sure of the exact time of the drawing but I think we will find some general time span that works.) The prize will be rewarded shortly. [
Inserting Comment: For you gifters out there, anyone wanting to jump in and support the game in any way is welcome. A further comment to you is at the very end of the post.]
Everyone wins... is the goal here.
General Game Information
There are seven days a week and you are allowed to enter
three times. You may enter for three different days of your choosing
OR you may enter for two chances on one day and one chance on another
OR you may enter all three chances on one day. It's your choice.
The drawings will begin on September 1st with the final day being October 30th. That's a lot of drawings, one or more of which may prove lucky for you.
Since September begins on Tuesday, that is day one. Everyone with me, so far?
On
Tuesday we will choose a winner of a
Venue
On
Wednesday we go for
CAS objects and the winner gets to claim a shopping spree of ≈500 SimPoints
On
Thursday our winner leaves with
Building items running ≈500 SimPoints
On
Friday the lucky winner walks away with a standard
World - aren't those heavy? How is that done?
On
Saturday we will choose a winner for a
Premium object, not to exceed the 500-600 SimPoint range
On
Sunday our winner gets to choose any
Set in the 1000-2000 SimPoint range
On
Monday our winner gets to choose
something/or a set in the 200 - 1000 SimPoint range
I have not thought of every contingency but you have
three opportunities to enter. You may nominate someone else, instead of entering OR you may enter for yourself for one or two day/s and enter your friend for the rest. It all adds up to three. You may have no more than
five entries in any single category. Please inform us/me of any different usernames on the Sims 3 site so if you/your friend win, we can find you or your friend when we need to send out the prizes.
A sample post might look like this:
Let's say the username here is WanttoPlay
Entry One: WanttoPlay on Saturday
Entry Two: Friend (actual avatar name here) on Tuesday - Sims 3 username is Aries19870901
Entry Three: WanttoPlay on Monday
One Bonus Drawing Every Week - Everyone who enters and/or their nominated friend/s is automatically entered
At the end of the each week, on Monday, I will draw a winner for a
Gold World, that is available with SimPoints from the Sims 3 Store. Everyone is automatically entered into that drawing, for themselves or for a friend and this one does not count against the three allowed entries, because this is a bonus drawing. Perhaps you own the store and entered three different friends in the drawings. Then all three of your friends will automatically be entered in the bonus drawing.
RULES
A couple little rules: Once you have made your three entries, you may not change them for that week. You may make any changes once a week, effective for the following week.
If you want to make any changes for the following week, you should make them on Monday, after the drawing. In the event of you winning, a prize can be transferred to a different Simmer, on request. It is best if we hold off on awarding prizes until you CONFIRM your winning selection. Confirm you must.
If you do not confirm your prize, you relinquish your right to free choice in the matter and your sponsor may make the choice for you. Nominated friends who win will be gifted without confirmation.
Questions will be addressed as they arise and hopefully, I have not made a confusing mess of all this information.
Updates
Please take responsibility to verify that I have placed you/your nominated friends in the right spots. I am human and make mistakes.
Directory of Entrants --
Note: This is a list of everyone who has posted an entry, whether they entered for themselves, nominated others or both. If any changes need to be made for further weeks, this is where to find your original post.
~~~~~~~~~~
Note to Sponsors
If anyone wants to help support the game, you're welcome to join in. You can also commit to, for example, Saturday's drawing for x weeks. Again, the goal here is -
let's have fun and everyone wins! The more the merrier!
Sponsor Updates
I will leave to your discretion the prizes you gift, in the sense that, we will cover what we promised, but we are also allowed to exceed the amount we gift. For example, one might sponsor a day with CAS objects and it is completely acceptable to exceed the ≈500 SimPoints. Less rules = more fun! More sponsor information can be found in the following post.

Can I enter myself for Tuesday, Sunday and Monday.
Well, if someone in the family golfs, in a casual (with family or friends) game a mulligan is an extra stroke allowed after a poor shot, not counted on the scorecard. It's a throw-away shot, no one holds against the score. So, I was requesting a possible mulligan since this whole lottery concept was a once-in-a-blue-moon idea for me. I don't generally ponder over a new idea for days. Sometimes, an idea hits like a lightening bolt and I just run with it. I ran with this idea because I just like the fairness of it and lotteries are fun.
I definitely want to participate, so I'd like to sign myself up for:
Entry One: on Tuesday
Entry Two: on Friday
Entry Three: on Sunday
I didn't realize how close we were to September. Which means we're closing in on my three favorite holidays in countdown order starting with Halloween. This year has moved quickly!
If I could enter myself on Tuesday, Sunday, and Monday. Please and thank you!
The realization of September coming that soon is getting to me, lol. It means I'll be throwing myself into my studies harder and more often. Waaaah! Less Simmin'

The three chances are for all of the two weeks, correct? And the second week would be the same with the days~?
Very cute and generous game! I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun! Thank you for doing this~ I can't wait for it to begin
