Hi, lottery is a thing of fun, i think with picking a category or field while the contestants make comments towards the chosen topic . The comments should be numbered as they come in and this should count as d lottery number to choose the winner

I am new. I think daily lottery is good. Higher reward is even better. May be a specific task like write a original content of more than 1000 characters to participate in encouraging.

Nice one!!I'm new here and it feels good already.If we could pick random numbers and at the end of the day, the random pick would be the numbers... I think it's going to make the daily lottery more interesting.

Oh welcome kossyy.. Nice idea..

What would really make it a little more lucrative without costing you anything would be to link a post from the winning lottery person of their choice. That way the not only win some SBD but also a little but of publicity.

That's a very interesting idea. Thank you ;)

It's a pretty nice idea.. A wonderful way to be a free giver too.. To make it more interesting let users pick a continent, a colour and a number from 1 to 20... Then you'll randomly pick one of the three categories, so the winner is the person that has all three correct there could also be consolation prizes.. It's how we do it in the military base. Like an innovative form of bingo

It's a good idea babaj but I'm afraid it would be too much work for me. Yesterday we had 71 participants and I'm expecting this number to grow. It could become very labor intensive ;)

Hello, Im Fahad Khan, 15 years old crypto lover.
To make this interesting the lottery would have to be more interactive. A nice way to do this maybe=
People would have to create a specific post. Howevee, unlike contests, the posts wouldn't be judged or anything. Ex- author will create rule of creating a roastyourself post. This way, the community would get some nice quality posts, but people would not be desperate enoug to use upvote votes or stuff to win cause the posts won't be judged

Hello I'm @alfred1, presently in zamfara Nigeria. This is my first comment on this.
My suggestion is to bring up a question per time looking for best comments or answers to the question. The question will be across different sectors e.g nature, food, sports music, education, business,intelligent quotient test and many more. This will make it more fun, informative and educative. Thanks

Thank you for your suggestions alfred :)

Hi, I'm Lev, student science high school in Moscow.I like to write about science and a little about cryptocurrency
I think to do a lottery where the winner is some random person isn't interesting.Better to let the randomness will mix with intelligence.
My idea:
Write in article some questions (historical,scientific, or other) and let people answer only ONE .
Then select random number from 1 to the number of questions.The winner - First who answer to the question.Questions can be very simple ( even 2 + 2)

Thank you for your suggestion Lev. I like the idea where the first person to answer a question can win a prize. I'll just have to randomly time the questions and it'll force people to check steem periodically :)

Well I think you could ask questions about well-known topics such as movies, science, art, sports among other things.The most accurate answer or best explained wins the award.

Maybe a day where all responses have to follow a certain rule like: Memes only as reply or only answer in morse code or something like that.

Lol that sounds like fun :)

Hi! Just found you here looks like fun!
My suggestion is to have some pictures and art to brighten up the post, or perhaps even a photo of the winner.
Thanks!
Mark

Lol not a bad idea at all. If you win you'll need to post a pic before you get your payout. I'll give it some thought :)

letting me win for no reason would be entertaining an interactive

Lol great idea, I'll take it into consideration :)

Its a great initiative, but you could promise to upvote first 100 comments or so for people to participate more

I'm already upvoting (almost) every participant (almost) every day :)

Great! I know you got better plan behind this initiative...

Maybe image lotteries could be fun

Maybe some sort of picture challenge. Don't know how it would work, but im sure theres a way

It's a great idea!!
Also send few sbd ($0.2) to participants , if they have points below 40 then it would be great effort by you to help them and they would never leave you :)
will bring a lot of support to the minnows like us to create investment and let own self and other grow together !! :)

True but alas, my funds are not unlimited.

More winners per day. Or add a brain teaser and the lottery pool will only come from those who correctly answer the brain teaser.

Hi!
Some ideas to make things more interesting:

  • Add some kind of "guessing" mechanic (v.g. choose between four colours, only the people that gets it right is actually in the pool for winning the lottery). This may be shitty for people getting it wrong XD
  • Add some kind of quiz component, instead of having to tell you about something, ask a question that has a correct answer and people needs to research a bit.
  • Do some kind of free writing. You give maybe the start of a story or a brief description, or some words we need to use, and we have to write a short story with that. That may be a lot of work for you if you plan on reviewing them afterwards though ^^". Something in between of this would be something like.. in order to participate in this week's lotteries, you have a free writing thing, that we need to post on a blog of our own and link (as proof that we have done it). You could then also reesteem or promote somehow the best ones, or the ones that win a lottery during that week.

Interesting ideas, especially the quiz component where people will have to put in some effort. I kind of like the low entry threshold for now though. Perhaps when I get more followers I can raise the bar a bit ;)

That makes sense :) I think there's always going to be a tradeoff between making things more interesting and how easy it is to get in, but it makes a lot of sense to keep the entry threshold as low as possible until you have a big enough participation base.

Probably provide a small puzzle and run a lucky draw from the group of people answering correctly. Or assured small reward if answered correctly.

Guess we can make it more fun by playing word games too. E.g making a last letter of a word to form another word.

Interesting idea, but how to know which word was the previous one? Comments are not sorted by time of posting.

Ask puzzels or quizzes with multiple way of answers. It can be used to earn bonus reward along with the random winner thing( which is now going on).
Or you can use this twice in a week as bonus reward contest so that more people can engage in this and they would not loose intrest from this.. 😁😁😁

Good idea, but I'm not sure how many puzzles or quizzes I can come up with. Once or twice a week is a nice touch, I should have more time on the weekends.

I guess you have to make the prize higher LOL that's way entertaining. Well seriously it's more interacting if you would give 2 more steemians a chance like 2nd winner and third :D or just question that isn't for kids it's more entertaing that way :D

A question that isn't for kids? You have anything in mind? For the prize to be higher we'll need more participants so spread the word ;)

This is great project speacily for me like newbi in steemit,
I participate in the last 3 round, i see day by day it's become populer.
Bro it's make disapointed other when 90-100 people participent and only one winner, so i tell you.
if increase winner possition like 1st,2nd,3rd. It's look more compartable for other and they can hope more , and more participant attend this contest.

True, but it will also significantly decrease the prize you can win.

If you could ask some brain teasing questions, it would be more interesting.

@svosse this is a good idea 2 sbd not big amount .this is a good way enjoy this small lotery and earn sbd

True, but doing it every day adds up :)

this is also very interesting, but klo I give advice if it can be added again with street photo contest, let more elegant

You could give consolation prizes to the best reply and reply with most upvotes. It'll increase the number of winners and make participants more creative

Maybe you could add a weekend special with two winners or choose a first, second and third place every time. This would reward more people, even if the sums would not be that high.

I've thought about rewarding more people, but I would like the reward to be higher for that. I like the weekend special, I'll try to come up with something fun that requires people to create some unique content.

To make it more entertaining and interactive I think you could get a bunch of attractive ladies to hold up the names of the winners. I hear there are a few former F1 grid girls looking for work at the moment.

Haha great suggestion! Might be too expensive though. Perhaps I should try my photoshop skills...

Good day, Ryan here again :)

I suggest if there are quality replies with multiple like, at the end of the contest each like can add points (say like 3 for each) to the final result.

From there we can prevent a great reply from losing to a random post, which the author may lose their interest on participating.

Thank you for this idea. I do want everyone to have an equal chance though, even those whose English is less good. But it's very true that some people put in a lot more effort than others. Perhaps a second price for the best comment with the most upvotes would work...

Exactly what I meant to say, thanks for considering it!

good idea and good luck to you

I participated in the last round of this contest hoping to win but then it appears it wasn't my luck to win I hope this time around I will win

If I have time I want to enter all the contests you have! :). I love Steemit. It's so fun.

Hi. (I am a private guide in Budapest, Europe.)
Easy. You should have a pitcture too, when you post.
I recommend something in red.
And probably in a red circle. It catches attention.
Something like this picture.
