Users could buy up to five tickets daily, each costing '''10''' doubloons. After a time, the winner is revealed. They receive all the money, and a notification from [[Karen]]. The SBC Lottery could be accessed through the Store on SBC. The SBC Lottery was originally an add-on to the application ibEconomy, which allowed you to receive higher than $500 depending how many people entered.
