Lottery

Post by Finray » Sat, 10. Oct 09, 17:53

Has anyone actually won it before?

I take a ticket every time I see one, I mean what's 2k cr?

Never won it once, maybe entered it 50+ times.

People have won the Lottery before but it's a rare feat.

Its very similar to the real world lottery, in that there is no chance of you winning it :)

The lottery is unwinnable by design. Play blackjack instead (I guess you are playing X3:R).

Used to buy every ticket that was offered. Never really expected to win but one day...

Not sure if that was a full jackpot win or something less but it was nice to see and killed the rumors of an unwinnable lottery.

I've been playing reunion for years and have bought 100s of tickets, never won anything, doesn't stop me buying them but I suspect its either unwinable or the odds are like the real thing :wink:

IIRC, the "win" routine was not added until X3R 2.0 or later.
