I dont think you can win, since the Cap on your money is 2 Billion and the prizes are like 26 Billion. I may be wrong, but there are plenty of Lottery posts on the forum, jsut search for a few and find out.

I bought 100+ tickets and havnt won yet. I think somewhere someone said they have bought 500+ tickets and still havnt won.

You can win, but the odds are heaverly against you!

OMG - not again! No, its a fair question - and a highly debated one. i myself have never won it, but have heard of several people who allegedly have. as for the 2 billion money cap, i've never heard it before.

EDIT: It's just like the real lottery, really!

True, it is very debatable.

What I don't understand is WHY the odds should be the same as the real lottery if it's a SINGLE-player game? While real lottery is played by millions.

yes but if the odds were 1:1 it would mean you win everytime,

kinda takes the fun out of it, don't you agree?

I have heard of people winning, but they don't win the full 45Billion or whatever, they win a few million. But, they could ofcourse just be speaking rubbish, it is the perfect ploy for a MoM member.

its a jackpot lottery, if I am correct, this means there are divison 1 winners, divison 2 winners, equally sharing amounts of dosh, soz while it may mean you will not win 56 billion, you may be a division 4 winner and win say a few hundred mil. or a division 8 winner and win a few mil, Im guessing that may be the explanation for it. After all in many lotteries, the total amount is not won by one person is it? nope. Sos, thats just my guess.

and no, i dont know how many divisions there are
