    So, basically as most players already know, whenever someone buys a lottery ticket, it shows up in chat.
    At first, I found it useful, mainly since sometimes it reminds me to buy lottery tickets, or warns players that the lottery is about to close.
    However, due to the amount of players online and the feature that makes you automatically buy lottery tickets, a lot of unnecessary spam is caused.

    My suggestion is to remove the messages from players buying lottery tickets, and to avoid spam but as not to lose the helpful "Draw in ___", I'd also suggest adding SBLottery broadcasts 10 minutes, 5 minutes and 1 minute before the lottery draw. These could look like the following:

    This would still be useful as not to forget to buy lottery tickets, but would also remove unnecessary spam. I say this is a nice addition, but if you see any downsides to it, feel free to leave feedback. Fran out.

    Lottery announcements cause too much unnecessary spam, and should be removed

    I 100% support this change.
    Often a message has been left unread due to lottery spam, so removing this is a great addition to both servers!

    I think this would be beneficial. My chat has been crowded as of late and I never want to miss a message from anyone and I don’t care about the lottery most of the time. It is very easy to see how much grass/money is in the pot, notifications for every ticket are not needed.

    I think it can go both ways depending on how many players are on. Like on DP's so many players are on and buy lottery it causes spam. But on regular times usually it's only like one person every like 10 mins which isn't much of a nuisance at least in my opinion. I personally don't mind it either way but i'm a noob, that might just be me?! :p

    Neutral because sometimes simply seeing others buy tickets is a good reminder that i should too. Though i wouldnt mind if this was added.

    Support - I sometimes completely forget that lottery is a thing, so reminders every 10 minutes or so - even 10 minutes before the draw too - would be extremely helpful for players, encouraging more people to participate in the game. :)
    I also could not forget to mention, I praise the person with that nickname who bought that lottery ticket. :rolleyes:

    Support even though I have so much fun changing my nickname to bypass in dp's this would help a lot more in chat

    Support, reminders would be good! It would also be nice to prevent the spam cause when the server is busy and a lot of people are doing /lot buy :)

    Sure, I can see this being added and I think it would be a nice change to the lottery system.

    Support, At the end of the lottery, the bots spam the lottery messages after they buy tickets.

    Sorry, I couldn't read your message with all the spam caused by people buying lottery tickets.
    I took that screenshot less than 10 minutes ago. There is no dp today.

    Support! This is such a better alternative than having a cooldown. I love this idea. It will remove so many unnecessary messages in chat. I wish this were a global suggestion because it wouldn’t hurt to add it to skyblock

    It is global! But back then there wasn’t a global prefix, so I’d just put one of the two prefixes and wrote [+ other server]. I’ll edit it right now and thanks for the support
