Lottery cant be won, your chances are estimated to be around 1 in a Quadrillion. Really. Someone did the math not too long ago.

The BBS really ticks me off, its never got anything truly useful to say.

Well technically if there is any chance at all you *could* win it. Otherwise there would be a probability of 0. :)

I worked it out once. IIRC it would take 100,000 X2 owners approx 300,000 years for one person to win if everyone played once a day.

We need a lotto with smaller wins, like 1,000 creds for matching 3 numbers! :D
