Then I woke up and my girlfriend handed me coffee!!

It is Just a scam to nick your cash so far, someone will win it though. i would kinda defeat the object at the beginning of the game. i wonder how amny noobs have thought "I'm on to something here" and had to restart!

(Hey CBJ, how is it?)

I would imagine it's possible to win it, I think. I t would be nice to have some dev confirmation on this though. Maybe the odds are just 14 million to 1!!!

I'm almost positive it's possible to win because when you go to your player profile and hit page down you see you stats and in the section befor the list of objects distroyed you have things like BBS accepted and compleated as well as lottery tickets bought, won.

Of course its possible to win, spend,spend spend

the more you spend the better the chance :twisted:

just think, you could be famous, your name in the hall of fame up along with Thestyx :D

I also hear the lottery is easier to win 3/1 if you buy your tickets from the secret UFO base, but ya gotta find it first :o

Well I bought 25 tickets from there and didn't win once, so I'm not sure your chances are better by buying from the secret UFO Base. :(
What no sig or avatar. I wonder why?:(

I bought four tickets for the lottery and I won the missing Corvette and a UFO came and hailed me telling me to follow it and I did in the missing Corvette and the UFO docked at a camouflaged station about 25km south in Ceo's Buckzoid and it gave me 100,000,000,000 credits just for docking and it gave me a cloaking device and one of those Goner jumpdrives that don't need energy and when I left the station I saw the rogue Split M2 and it didn't attack me instead I fired a mosquito at it and when it hit it surrendered and now I don't know whether to fly back in my Corvette or my M2.

I actually scripted a camouflage(cloaking)device once, but it didn't do anything :cry:

If you go ages without buying one, the price goes down, and the choice goes down to 2 tickets instead of 3. This is especially true when buying them from Borons. Does this have any effect on the likeliness of winning?
