Gambling on a FiveM server lives or dies by how it feeds into the broader economy. A scratch ticket that pays out too freely becomes a money printer; one with terrible odds gets ignored. Pickle’s Lottery System gives you the configuration surface to land somewhere in between: adjustable odds per game type, proceeds splits across businesses or society accounts, and three distinct game formats so players actually have a reason to come back to the lottery station more than once.

Lottery Game Types

• Keno — server-wide drawings every minute; players select their own numbers and check results against live draw history
• Moneyball — number-pick format with separate odds and prize structure from Keno; current and past game results visible in-game
• Scratch-offs — three ticket variants included out of the box; custom scratch ticket designs can be added through config without touching core script logic
• Win sound effects trigger on redemption — small detail, real player satisfaction
• Realistic and independently adjustable odds per game type through config.lua

Economy Integration

The proceeds distribution system is what separates this from a basic gambling prop. Each lottery station’s configuration controls what percentage of ticket sales routes to which society or business account. A casino owner can take a cut of every Keno ticket sold at their location; a gang faction can fund its war chest through a black-market scratch station. You define the split per location, not globally — so a downtown lottery kiosk and a backroom setup can route revenue completely differently.

Framework and Inventory Compatibility

• Frameworks: ESX (1.1+) and QBCore
• ESX inventories: Ox Inventory, Quasar Inventory
• QBCore inventories: QB-Inventory, Ox Inventory, Quasar Inventory
• Requires ox_lib (works anywhere it’s installed)
• Target system toggle in config — defaults to E-key interaction, switches to ox_target if preferred

Setup and Configuration

Installation follows a straightforward sequence: load after ox_lib, run the SQL file, add items and images from the _INSTALL folder, configure your lottery stations. Configurable elements include station locations, store inventories, prize amounts per tier, odds per game, and business account destination strings. The item-based ticket system means players carry physical tickets in their inventory — a QBCore markedbill trade equivalent for gambling that keeps the economy loop grounded in items rather than abstract menus.

Operational Fit

Pickle’s Lottery works best on servers that want passive income streams for player-run organisations rather than just a standalone gambling gimmick. When a gang or casino faction earns a percentage of every ticket sold at their location, they have a genuine financial reason to advertise it, run events around it, and protect the territory. That’s the kind of emergent RP this script enables without any special coding on your part.
