You are being so wicked, Brianetta!

Ralon, you can read up on the Lottery. Click the Search link under Control Panel, then select Lottery. That's a very frequently asked question on this forum.

I assume that link will work for you anyway.
Some people say its impossible to win (the figure you win is larger than you can physically hold in your balance), others say theres no code in place to win, others say there is but its statistically impossible for anyone to have won by now etc etc

It's impossible to win it but...buying tickets seems to increase the chances to find Xenon Invasions which reward it's so high that it's actually like you won the lottery... :wink:

Even if you could win the lottery (the last calculated odds stood at one in 56 trillion, I believe, but I need to check up on that) your account reaches it's maximum at 2Bn Credits, so you'd only win a fraction of the promised amount.

But you would get taxed on your winnings, and that might bring it into something of just a nice XI mission or such.
