The Return

First week had already proven to be a challenge for Luke and Cyrus. We started out by picking our company vehicle. After a browse through LSC catalogue we noticed an interesting livery available for the Landstalker XL. Although slightly out there it seemed to encapsulate our vision for the company, not to mention the attention we got and people complimenting the car!

With a car ready, we moved onto this week's prize, a spacious 2G apartment at Weazel Plaza, one of the most popular apartment complexes. We found that prices for these usually tend to increase after they are all gone, so we thought it would be a good opportunity and a decent grand opening prize. Surely the winner would be happy with such a apartment.

We now have a company vehicle and a prize, all we need now is to buy some adverts from Weazel News and we can start our new venture. We went to Weazel News and spoke to Clay Cunningham about getting some bulk adverts set up throughout the week. This would be a crucial part of our strategy for when we weren't around town, this way we can get a wider range of people to buy tickets. Throughout the week Frank Reyes also helped us during non-scheduled times as we requested more ads to be broadcasted.

With all the prerequisites met we had only one thing to do, sell! We started out at the usual hot spots. The pier always has a lot of people, although it seems some of the fishermen weren't too happy to see us advertising our exciting new opportunity. Luckily, we did have a few people who wanted to take part and we gladly sold them tickets.

We also tried the bank, but found that it wasn't as popular as it used to be back in the day, the exception being opening time when most people come to collect their salary. Other spots included LSC, Bayview and High-End.

All in all, the first week had it's ups and downs, but the most exciting part, the draw, is yet to come

To be continued…

Week 1: The Draw

First week came to an end on Sunday 9pm as Luke sat in his apartment, setting up the livestream and recording the draw. At the same time Cyrus was downstairs with a few Weazel News employees, getting the winner advertisement ready to be broadcast as soon as he got the results. As the clock handle slowly turned to the top, indicating a new hour, Luke clicked a button on his laptop, initiating the random process of picking a winner.

The process took slightly longer than expected given that the first roll landed on a vacant number. Raven Lottery runs a guaranteed winner scheme most of the times, so we rolled again until the wheel slowly came to a halt, having spun round a few dozen times. Eventually, the winning number that creeped up ever so slowly was 73, the number chosen by a gentleman named ''Haji Siphiwa'' 

As the winner was chosen a few tasks were still left. Soon after the information was transmitted downstairs to Cyrus, he published the broadcast with Weazel News, informing the citizens of Los Santos about the winner of Week 1's 2G apartment. The recording of the draw for transparency sake was also saved and posted onto social media and other public outlets, allowing our customers to observe first hand the process of drawing a winner, something we strive to do every week to show the legitimacy of our business. Lastly, the winner of the draw was contacted, detailing the ways that he can claim his prize.

 

As the dust settles the two partners find themselves content with the results of the first week and start planning the second week immediately after, such is the life of a new business trying to grow.

 

Stay Tuned for Week 2...

Week 2: The 3 Winners

As we moved on to the second week, Luke and Cyrus decided to change things up and pick out not 1, not 2 but 3 winners for Week 2 of Raven Lottery.

The Prize would be a cash amount of $200.000 split by the 3 winners, 1st place being rewarded with $100.000 while 2nd and 3rd place would each get $50.000, a strategy people seemed to approve of as ticket sales increased on the second week. Both Luke and Cyrus spent the week working on setting up ads with Weazel News and going around town informing people of this week's prizzes and how to acquire their tickets.

As Sunday came, the day of the draw, they began talking and thinking about what they would do for next week, both of them agreed they would like to do something unprecedented and have the biggest reward this city has seen from RavenLottery...

The 2nd Draw:

For this week's draw it had been decided that Cyrus would take care of the recording of the draw along with setting everything up while Luke would handle the ads.

Once the clock pointed to 9PM, Cyrus started the process of drawing the names using a random number generator and gave the names to Luke so he could make ads announcing this week's winners and contact them via text.

As the 2nd Week draws to a close and they plan their biggest and best prize, it's fair to say things are looking good for the Ravens.
