Nobody's ever won it, and if someone did the money wouldn't all fit in their account (there's a 2 billion credit limit). Even if you can actually win, the chances are so low that you're wasting your money anyway.

We've already had a lot of threads on this. No one ever has, people only say they have as a joke. The is an effectively impossible chance that you will ever win and for all we know, egosoft hasn't made it so you can. You can only have up to a few billion credits anyway (I think but may be wrong)

Think about it this way - the chances of winning the X2 lottery are even SMALLER than winning a real life lottery.

How'd it feel to win the virtual lottery, when the odds of that were less than becoming a real world millionaire, when that tiny quirk of luck could've been better applied to a real lottery :p

Am I the only one who gets a load of HTML code when clicking that link or trying the 'search' button on the right?

I have to use 'Extra Search' when I need to find stuff.

If I want to be toned up, calmed down, invigorated or anything then it's very simple. I just have a cup of tea.

I've never seen "a load of HTML" on that page, in either IE or Firefox. What browser are you using? And are your security settings tighter than Fort Knox?
