from the ask-hn dept.

Just reply saying eCommerce or SaaS. If you feel like giving more details then feel free to leave that info as well.

I just want to get a feel of how many of us working on eCommerce vs. SaaS based startups.

Nice original idea but what incentives do people have for sharing their possible winnings? Wouldn't that be counter productive?

Lumberjack, thanks for the feedback. Our current phase only supports playing in our free lottery pools where users don't spend anything. We buy all the lottery tickets and put users in the lottery pool. If our lottery ticket wins then we will equally distribute the winnings among our users of that given pool.

In the next phase the biggest incentives users will have is to create their own lottery pools and play with their friends and family members by creating private pools. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on lottery ticket to increase their chances of winning users will be able to share the cost of lottery tickets with their friends/family members. Together they can purchase more tickets, increase their chances of winnings and keep low out of the pocket costs.
