4. A BRIEF HISTORY...
They built wonders of the world
The first recorded signs of a
lottery are keno slips from the
Chinese Han Dynasty between
205 and 187 B.C.
A spurious legend has it that the invention of
the game saved an ancient city in time of
war, and its widespread popularity helped
raise funds to build the Great Wall of China.
Lotteries are as old as we are
The lottery is one of the oldest
games in the world. They even
refer to it in the Old Testament
more than once, for example;
.”..and the lot puts even contentions to rest,
and it separates even the mighty from one
another” (Proverbs, XVIII, 18).
They are a fair tool
Ancient Athens is one of the first
known democracies and they used
lotteries (via a kleroterion, seen on
the right) to select citizens for most
state offices and court juries as it
was regarded as fairer and less
subject to corruption.

5. They aided the poor
The first lotteries with monetary
prizes were held in the Low
Countries in the 15th century to
raise money to aid the poor and
fund fortifications of the towns.
In fact, the English word lottery is derived
from the Dutch word loterij which stems
from the Dutch noun lot meaning "fate".
They have been running for a
long time
The Dutch state-owned
Staatsloterij is the oldest running
lottery in the world.
They funded revolutions
The world famous universities
Princeton and Columbia were
funded by lotteries and at the
outset of the Revolutionary War,
the Continental Congress used
lotteries to raise money to
support the Colonial Army.
We might say the United States of America
are not only founded by its fathers, but also
funded by its lotteries.

6. THE PRESENT
Nowadays lotteries have grown
into large corporations which
come up with complicated prize
schemes that result in ridiculous
jackpots but actually diminish
someone’s chance to win.
And large parts of their income go
straight into immense marketing
budgets aimed at maximizing the
amount of money people spend
on lotteries.
Time for change.

7. TIME FOR THE
CROWD LOTTERY

8. WHAT IS A CROWD LOTTERY?
Every player counts as one
All stakes are paid out
Admin fee on top of stakes
Every player counts as one; this
determines the structure of the
lottery. It limits gambling and
creates equal chances for
everyone.
All stakes are paid out; this
removes the ‘house’ from the
game. It guarantees payouts and
winners.
Admin fee on top of stakes; this
adds a layer of transparency. It
makes sure all overhead costs are
clearly communicated by the
operator so players know exactly
what they are paying.
Crowd lotteries are social and
more transparent than traditional
lotteries. They lead to better
odds, higher payouts, lower costs
and still act as fundraiser for
charity.
A crowd lottery is built on three very simple principles.

9. THE WORLD’S FIRST CROWD LOTTERY
© WTA Gaming Ltd. 2014 9
Here’s how the world’s first crowd
lottery works;
• 1 euro per ticket
• 1 ticket per draw
• 1 draw per week
• 1 winner takes all
This means the jackpot equals the
number of players, and the size of
the crowd determines your odds.
However, there is always
someone within that crowd that
takes home the jackpot.
Guaranteed.
CrowdLottery.com uses the certified Random Number Generator ISAAC to
randomly select the Lucky Ones. There is still a challenge and small reward
associated with breaking ISAAC.
CrowdLottery.com gives you the best possible chance
to hit the jackpot for the least amount of money.
CrowdLottery.com uses the
winner-takes-all-principle and the
power of crowds to create the
best possible chance to hit the
jackpot for the least amount of
money.
As a crowd, we can unite the
world in one game while
spreading happiness and creating
better chances for everyone in a
social & transparent way.

10. Lower costs
Limiting the number of tickets
people can buy per draw limits
the amount of money people can
spend on crowd lotteries.
AN IMPROVEMENT ON ALL LEVELS
The simplicity of the crowd lottery underlines the unnecessary complexity of
other lotteries. Simplicity gives players a better chance, a higher payout
percentage, and it lowers their costs. An improvement on all levels.
100%
Higher payouts
Seperating the operating costs
from the stakes improves
transparency and dramatically
increases the payout ratio.
Better odds
Odds increase significantly thanks
to the direct link between the size
of the crowd (no. of players) and
the prize money.
