Lottery Boxes moved

The SLotto and High Roller lottery boxes are now located on my new land and site of my future home. It's behind the Governor's Mansion, on Clementina sim at 222, 22.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a few things in response to the vitriolic posts from earlier this week regarding the lotteries.

First of all, I run the lotteries at a loss. Even when I count in the voting box earnings, I run the lotteries at a loss. As of now, I have not made a single penny.

The ridiculous claims that I make huge profits from it are just that -- ridiculous. Because I have been so open about the lotteries, anyone can easily take the amount of money in the drawings, easily figure what my profits are, easily check the land costs on their former site, easily check the tax costs, easily check my voting box earnings, and easily put the whole thing together to see that making huge profits is impossible on either SLotto or High Roller.

Someday I believe I will make a profit. A small one. And I'll be just fine with that. And if I don't, that's fine too. In the meantime, I'm having fun with it. I hope you all are too.

Thanks -
Kerstin

I know I'm having fun with it. 'course I'd have MORE fun with it if I could win it =)

And I for one hope that you start making a profit from it sooner rather than later, and bigger rather than smaller.

As a High Roller winner, I'm an ardent supporter of SLotto!

And I'm sorry to hear it's not profitable yet...but we're all in the early stages of our business. It's the frontier and we're just getting started establishing what will hopefully ripen into wildly successful businesses when the economy matures.

I hope this means you're planning to stay. I for one remain hopeful that I may just win some day!
