Inter(Galactic) Lottery

Post by Admiral_Denzark » Thu, 2. Sep 04, 17:49

Has anyone ever won on the galactic lottery that comes up on station notice boards...

I wont use money cheat, and sometimes when im depressed about not having loads of cash i pay for the lottery though have never one a cent lol :)

I am eager for cash, though considering i have 32 ships, 15 factories and hovering around 8 million regularly and my humble beginnings of a disco and 1000cr i cant complain :)

Just wondering if the lotteries winnable...

Apparently there is real code in there so it is theoretically possible. However the odds are similar to those for the UK lottery so your chances of winning are zero.

It thought it was decided that it's impossible because the prizes are too big for your bank?

Even if the prizes are to big for your bank I'm sure the coding will limit the amount you get to the limit of the bank. Otherwise it wouldn't be much of a lottery.

2,000,000,000 Cr

Its not a script coded limit, its due to the variable type that stores the amount of cash you have.

Same effect though.

heh. depends on if your American or English :D

Either way its 2,000 million, most ppl would say its 2 Billion.

Oh, each of your stations can also hold that much cash, so i guess your maximum cash is your total number of stations * 2 billion + 2 billion. :D

People in the past have commented that 2 bill may be the jackpot but there can be many winners so it is shared out.

But I havnt seen any proof of a win, even after 500 tickets.
