So the current issue with the point raffle is, that it allows you to buy unlimited amount of tickets, allowing someone to keep buying overwhelming amount of tickets to keep raking in the points (unless stricken with incredible bad luck or someone willing to risk their own wealth to stop that guy). At the same time, simply putting a hard limit would take away that sense of freedom from raffle. Therefore, I propose a player could buy tickets until he would hold a percentage value (for example 40%) of total tickets in play, there would of course be the minimum for maximum amount of tickets a player could hold (for example 50).

For example, if there's 100 tickets (of other players) in play already, a player can buy tickets until he has 66 at hand (66 / (100 + 66) = 39.76%, going above that would violate the 40% rule: 67 / (100 + 67) = 40.12% ). As other players buy small amount of tickets, for example, to  a total of 196 (130 + 66) tickets, that player can buy more of the tickets, in this case 20 more tickets up to 86 tickets (86 / (130 + 86) = 39.81%). Then we could have a newcomer who decides to buy as many tickets as he can, which would be 144 tickets, bringing total to 360 tickets (144 / (216 + 144) = 40%).


¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hmm, good point. I like that idea. Shouldn't be too difficult to implement.
