Just something to consider but marketing will be a bit harder for you then the standard lottery. Ask yourself a couple of questions.
Why would someone play WSL instead of state lotto? Here are just some reasons:
1) much better odds to win (even though it will take some time before the pot is VERY exciting) - our game is pick 5 numbers 1-40 with no mega number, so the odds of winning an average Mega lottos is 1 in 178,000,000 the odds of getting 5/5 at WSL in more like 1 in 680,000 MUCH BETTER ODDS..
2) You can use Bitcoin, we all know the benefits of Btc, anonymity, tax free, decentralized, convenient, online
3) Play anywhere in the world with an internet connection, no need to buy at a brick and mortar location
4) no penalties for taking your jackpot all at once, no long term payout, get your winnings within 24 hours from drawing, but mostly within an hour or two of the drawing
5) There is a social aspect to WSL, we have a forum where it will evolve to a community of friends and fun chatting
State lotto gets tv and newspaper time showing off the winner's. In all likely hood your winners will be anonymous.
1) Our winners may be anonymous if they chose, that's part of the beauty, but i also think that many users have nothing to hide and wouldn't mind letting us share their story of winning with our community and our social media outlets. We will ask some winners if they mind sharing, if they don't we will do as much PR as possible to show everyone real people are winning... and even if they chose to remain anonymous, we can still do a story on them using an alias vs their real name...
State lotto has been around and has huge jackpots, I don't know what your bankroll is but can you offer large enough amounts to attract players?
Very true and we don't have a big enough bank roll to have an extremely attractive pot yet, we are open to partnering with an investor if anyone is interested, but it's not necessary. Our pot is starting at 5Btc, i know that's not huge but one ticket is only .001btc and the odds aren't bad, it's a pretty good gamble already. We are here for the long haul and gradual sales will increase the pot, right now 100% of sales go to the pot, the staff at WSL all have other jobs also to pay the bills, we are interested in growing the pot as fast as possible and we will not take any profit until the pot get MUCH higher.
Your idea has a ton of upside but the above are some pitfalls, can I ask what you plans are to market and how you answer the above questions?
Thank you, i agree WSL has huge potential. Our marketing strategy right now is SEO and word of mouth through forums, blogs, social media etc... I'd love some ideas if you guys have any. Because there is no income generated from WSL and we still have families to support, we are limited to working capital and time as well...
