Lotto.

Hey, I've been noticing that the lotto isn't exactly..... Well lets just say its not perfect or near good.
I did a little experiment today. I spent 130k on the lotto. I won 2 and a half stacks of gold. Now, thats not the problem, the problem is that I got some of the same numbered tickets more than 10 times. You shouldn't be able to get the same ticket number even once. Please fix this. Thank you.

 

this is so no one wins the lotto. Once your lotto ticket #1 2 3 4 and 5 disappear, they reappear again for the next person to buy and use. This is so there's less chance of a winner, so then there's more money in the pot.

 

This is true, but the main problem is that the ticket numbers aren't reappearing for someone else or even after they are used, there is the chance you get the same number more than once in one /lotto buy amount. I would be fine if it was as soon as your number, that is whatever it may be, disappears it goes to someone else, but it doesn't go that.

 

In a real lotto, every play has the same odds of winning. In this lotto, having a fixed pool of tickets that gets depleted means that every time a ticket is purchased without a winner, the odds of winning improve. Several people have done the calculations and have used that to game the system: talk everyone else into buying tickets, improving the odds until they're ready to swoop in and collect the pot.

If you can redraw the same tickets now, then that means this lotto works just like an actual lotto, so I'd say it's more likely that this is a feature, not a bug.

 

We should add back the old lotto. Where you can only buy 20 tickets and pray you would win

"SX1 won the lottery of $218,421 with only 1 ticket!"

Ohh the times..

 

I have noticed the issue in which you receive multiple of the same numbered ticket this needs to be fixed.

 

+1
Bring back the old lotto.

 

I remember I won a 3mil one with 20 tickets Then tiddelysteak won. Idk if I won 3mil or 300k lol

 

And you just watch how many times people buy 20 tickets.
Won twice with five tickets. lol

 

This was probs my favourite things of old meep, Suggestion time.

The lotto is perfect the way it is, also we do not need 2 different type of lottos.
