Hey Morfius if you bring up your personal info page by pressing "P" and scroll down with the scroll down key there's a "Lotories Won" stat. Has it changed to 1?

I believe your problem is it's not the same lotto you played...but you got the same numbers since there is probably only so many in the game.

I was wondering what the prizes were because I played one that said it was a raffle.

Where you in the same sector where you bought the ticket.

if yes = possible bug
if no = then there is a seperate lottery for every sector which means all statistics in the former lottery-threads has to be altered: the chance of winning the lottery was approx. 15.000.000.000.000 multiplied by number of sectors approx 132 = :o .

Incorrect, Graaf.

Your odds remain the same.

If I buy a ticket in the UK 649, my odds of winning are about 14 Mil. : 1
If I also buy ticket in Ontario 649, my odds of winning it are also 14 Mil : 1

My total odds are 2 in 28 million or 1 in 14 million.

Same as if I play three different lotteries in 3 different sectors. 1 in 15 trillion.

All lotteries, RL or in this game, are just idiot tax.

Actually, your chances are 2 in 14 million - slightly better.

Brianetta is right again - slightly better but not a cast iron investment

And it is a hard fact rather than a hint :lol:

Dammit, if the X2 lottery has that kind of odds, I want real bills spraying like green fluttery diahroea from my CD drive when I win...

Are you sure? If you buy 7M tickets in one state and 7M in another, you have 14M tickets but you still do not have a guaranteed win - so you can't just add the number of tickets bought.

Depends if they are part of the same lottery, or totally separate lotteries :?
