I like the idea of the lottery but it certainly needs some work like the fact that one can win multiple time in the same lottery is kinda silly imo. I also wonder how random it is since i see some people that have won already 5-6 times out of 7 lottery so far..

Anyway, i spent like 150k so far for a total gain of 0 lol.

Thank god i still have the market!

Someone did the math, If you do max count every time, you have 1/4 chance to win 1 prize. But not everyone buys max tickets so that probably goes up a bit more. Can't remember the location of the math.

I lost 300 gold so far. Feels bad. I buy 1 ticket each time. I figure its 100% better chance than 0, but didn't pay off yet

Someone did the math, If you do max count every time, you have 1/4 chance to win 1 prize. But not everyone buys max tickets so that probably goes up a bit more. Can't remember the location of the math.

When I calculated it 2k players participated in lottery and an average of 100 tickets was bought. Chance to win is now higher since less players pariticipate now but also the prices are lower. And the distribution of the tickets doesn't matter at all only the amount of tickets you have. If you have 500 tickets and five other guys have 1000 tickets the chances of winning are the same even if one guy has 500 and the other 4 guys have to share the rest.

The chance of winning one price last lottery if you bought max count tickets was about 48%.


If the degression of participants and thus the total number of tickets bought goes down as countinously as before, this is a very inaccurate guess, let's say down to 85,000 (total would be 8,500,000 obviously),

the chance of winning (again only one price and max count tickets are bought) would be 60%.

But even if the chance is above 50% one has to consider that most prices won't really cover the money you spend so do as you did before.

Obviously. Like any real lottery, it always takes in more than it pays out overall. There are far more losers than winners. It's an optional gold sink, which a few people can get lucky gains out of.

The key word is optional, though. Nobody is forced to play it, hence it's not a problem at all.

Yes but somehow many people think it's totally rational to complain about being offered choices. Maybe they know inside they are so stupid it's more economical if someone decides for them.

Im just wondering why they dont update the results anymore..... hmn...anyways i stopped playing the lottery
I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.
