Lottery Details:
We will use the New York lottery system. It's basically a keno draw where 20 random numbers are chosen between 1-80. There are 351 draws - every four minutes starting at Midnight and ending at 23:56 EST. We will select one days worth of drawings. Each team will be assigned a certain number of drawings (time specific). The number of drawings each team will receive is closely based on the actual NBA lottery percentages based on each teams respective regular season record. Then once ALL the NY lottery selections have been made we'll add up each set of twenty numbers and the team with lowest combined total wins the 1st draft spot and so on for the first three picks. After the first three have been determined, the remaining picks will be in inverse order from the previous season's win total with new owners drafting their slot after everyone else. In the event of a tie we will compare each set of numbers starting with the lowest number in each selected set until one team wins. For example if two teams have a total of 621 and one set of the lowest numbers is (1, 2, 4, 7, 12 etc.) and another group has (1, 2, 3, 8, 14 etc.) the 1's cancel out, the 2's cancel out, and the 3 is lower than 4 so the 1, 2, 3, 8, 14 etc. set of numbers wins. Non-playoff teams from the previous season whose owners are not returning will be left blank. Any questions just ask.
Below are the lottery teams, the number of draws for each slot, the percentage of winning the #1 pick, and each team's time slots.
