[Idea] Faction Wide Lotto HUGE GOLD SCAM (you always win!)

$$$THE IDEA$$$

NOTE: The scam that I am about to present is only an IDEA and I have NOT tested it, I present it to the scamming community in hopes of tweaking/finalizing the scam.

How the scam works:
You run a faction wide lotto depending on your faction (horde/alliance). You will create an alt, buy him some fancy duds, run to the most populated city for your faction (Org for Horde, Stormwind for Alliance). Go to the city and start to advertise your lotto (DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT SPAM!!!) Charge 10-25g a ticket (your choice on price). Once you find some one that wants to take part in the lotto, invite them to a group, get the gold, then tell the player to /roll 1-9999, Once they roll tell the player that you "Recorded" the number in your data base and be sure to log on later to see if they won! You will get tons of people running up to you wanting to take part (sort of like a casino, except YOU always win ) Tell all of the players to be on at a set time to see if they won(7-9 server time always will be good).
Now the scam part comes into roll, on a separate account log onto your main (or another alt) Id say a good 10 mins before the winning numbers are told, and /roll 1-9999, write down your number and wait. Once the time comes go into trade on the lotto guy and say the following

/2 Winning Numbers of Todays Lotto are about to be announced!
/2 The Winning Numbers are... <Insert Numbers that you rolled>
Now wait a good 45 seconds...
/2 The Winner is <Insert name of your main/alt>
Now pop over to him and be like,
/2 holy shit omg I ****ing won!!!!!!1111oneone11!eleven
Now roll back over to the lotto guy, and mail all of the gold to yourself! The people wouldn't even know that they have been scammed or that it has been set like that, now you have built trust with the people, allowing you to come back every week and hold more lottos that YOU will win!!!
What you need to do the scam:
1. Two separate WoW accounts.
2. Be able to log on to both accounts at the same time (run two separate WoWs)
3. Have two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT characters (one that will hold the lotto, and one that will be the winner)
4. Don't be a dumbass and be like "HAR HAR HAR U HAZ JST BIEN SCAMZORED NUBS I R PWN J00 ND TAKS UR G0LDZZZ!!1121212 (you want to do this scam again!!!)
5. Creativity
6. Macros!!! (read more to learn about what macros to use)

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES ON WHAT TO DO AND SAY WHEN YOU ARE RUNNING A LOTTO!!!
Make a macro that you will use in trade once every 5 MINS (DO NOT SPAM TRADE), Example
/2 Come one come all and take part in the faction wide Lotto!!! Only 10G a ticket, the jackpot goes up significantly every time some one buys a ticket, the current jackpot is <Insert bullshit numbers but not insanely high numbers>, Everyone has a chance at winning! Please Whisper me for an invite and more info!
The thing is if people see if its a high jackpot they will be more willing to go ahead and take the risk.
Now make a macro that you will yell every 60 seconds, make it say the following:

/y The Faction Wide Lotto Jackpot is now <insert bullshit numbers>!!! 10G a ticket! Whisper me for an invite and more info!
Now be sure to update the macros increasing the jackpot slightly (50-100g at a time).
Here are some macros that you can use while you are in a party with a person:

/p Hello there! Please open up a trade window and insert 10G to be eligible to enroll in todays lotto.
/p Thank You!!! Now please /roll 1-9999.
/p Ok. <insert number rolled> is your lotto number, this number has been recored into our data base.
/p Please be sure to log on at 7:00 server time to see if you have won, Just watch the trade chat.
/p If you have won please whisper me with your winning numbers and I will run them though the data base.
/p Thank You and good luck!!!
Drop Group and Repeat...

Once you run a lotto once and the people see that it was not a scam they will most likely come back for the next lottos to come. This is an extremely easy scam that almost anyone can do.

I am NOT sure if the scam in bannable, Only reasons why you would get banned is if you do the following:
1. Be a retard and go tell a guildy/friend that the whole lotto shit is a scam ran by yourself.
2. You are un-original, meaning you use the same guy that won the lotto last week to win the lotto that was ran this week.
3. SPAM, if you spam trade people WILL report you and most likely you WILL GET BANNED.


Remember that this scam is just an idea and I have NOT tested it.
Feel free to test it on your own, add your own tweaks and PLEASE POST your results, I will +rep you. The only reason why I cant test it is because I don't have access to a second account that is needed for the scam.
Please feel free to post constructive criticism on the scam and if you have any ideas that will help the scam, I will add them to the scam and +rep you. Thanks again for reading, I hope you guys like the idea. I am new to scamming btw

According to a Blizzard CM, anything that requires upfront payment can be reported and banned as a scam.

Good idea but since anything upfront is considered bannable, wouldn't that make casino's illegal?
