This paper proposes a multi-price lottery, a novel pricing
mechanism for ticket lottery sales. The multi-price lottery improves the expected payoffs for all types of potential buyers compared to the traditional single-price lottery system, while also increasing the event organizer’s overall sales.
In this mechanism, high-paying buyers enjoy a higher
probability of winning despite a higher price. Low-paying buyers benefit from lower prices despite a reduced chance of winning. Because some tickets are sold at higher prices, the organizer’s total revenue increases even if the other tickets are sold at lower prices.
