I put money into the lottery a couple times, and i was just wondering if it's actually possible to win the thing

Go to the [url=http://forum.egosoft.com/search/index.html?template=default&style=default.css][b]Li[/b]nk[b]Li[/b]st[/url] and click on Lottery. You'll see just how many other people have been equally confused.

Nobody has won it yet (at least there is no evidence). If you use the 'search' option you will find many posts on this issue.

Yea, just like the real ones. And real odds like "Zip point zilch". More likely to be hit by a meteorite from outer space.

I suspect that the tickets sold by "shifty" characters in teladi stations are counterfeit.

You could live several lifetimes buying a ticket every couple of minutes before you win.

(Yes, REALLY!)

I worked this out once. IIRC the results were thus:

If 100,000 X2 players bought a ticket everyhour of everyday then it would take approx 350,000 YEARS for just 1 person to have statitcally won the jackpot.

Needless to say that in that time you could have set up an empire so vast you'd be earning the "jackpot" every SECOND.

I'd love to see the PC running that though.

We should organise a lotto search for one hour. Gather everyone up and tell them to buy as many lotto tickets as posible. Hopefully in X2TR there will be smaller prises which are easyer to get.

And don't forget that you can only have 2bn in the bank and the lottery winnings are usually a whole lot more than that...

I never understood that feature. 2 Billion is a lot to me. I have 100,000,000 (One hundered million). I know it aint much compared to what some of you guys have. 2 Bill aint enough for a fully fledged trader.
