hey guys,

in the x2 game, u can buy lottery tickets and stuff to win money. i was wondering if anyone had actually won anything on that, or is it just a scam?

I do belive in x2 it is basically a real lottery, it can be won, you just have the same odds as in real life. I don't know of anyone who has won without scripting...

There is a script for a winnable lottery...it helps out a bunch when you only have a couple hundred grand and can win a million off of a 10k ticket.

The only working lottery is when you dock to a station and there's an XI waiting for you.. That's the jackpot ;)

You are buying a lottery ticket from some fly-by-night guy in a dark station bar. You really think it is authentic? Dream on! :wink:

No one has ever won as far as I have heard, but there is some data in the tables that might be used for a win. If the odds are the same as the real lotteries then the chances are "slim to none".

The chances of you actually winning were calculated out once I think. It came out to something like 3,500,000,000,000 (3 trillion, 500 billion) to 1 against. That's just the propability that you'll even get the correct ticket.
