e.g., chances of winning are worse than getting struck by lightning, or getting bitten by a shark.

So, if you get bitten by a shark in space, go buy a lottery ticket.

No they're not.
If 100,000 X2 players bought a ticket a day it would take over 300,000 years for one person to win.

But surely the chances of winning the X2 lottery MUST be lower than getting bitten by a space shark and then winning the X2 lottery.

Unless the space sharks are actually fixing the lottery and their bites give you cosmic luck or something! :D

A thought just occured to me. Yknow how they say, last winning ticket was so and so. Well, why not save when you see the lottery BBM, play on for a bit, and when you next see the lottery, record the number and reload.
Just a thought, the last winning number is prolly just randomly generated, but its worth a try. Ive just saved now to see if it will work.
though, I would have thought someone wouldve won the lottery by now if this works.
