    Lottery Myth

    It is with a heavy heart I write this but I am afraid it is true.

    Time and again I enter a lottery looking at the prizes and wondering if it will be my turn to receive those prizes. However, I am now certain that these prizes do not exist and are yet another Sapience jest to keep the community staff amused on cold nights.






    When am I going to win something?..............SOON

    Lies all lies.

    You have all been bribed by Sapience into making me feel worse.

    The only solution to this quandry is me winning

    Yes, Ayrolen. My daughter keeps creating characters that she never plays. There was a time when her characters kept winning the welcome wagon and Summer Festival stuff, but my main toons say weeping over their useless lottery tickets.

    I have to disagree. The nights do not have to be cold...

    Do not try to win the lottery — that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth: there is no lottery

    Re: Lottery Myth

    I haven't ever won a lotto, either, so at least you have company!

    Let's play a game or something. I brought a deck of cards.

    Re: Lottery Myth

    I do feel like the lotteries suffer from the weakness of the RNG in this game: it's far too streaky. Back when lotteries were first implemented, I won them frequently - good stuff too: some tier 8 relics, lots of money, stacks of Black Tea, etc. Then suddenly the floodgates closed. I haven't won a significant lottery since June and anything at all since July. I enter just about every lottery open on nearly all of my characters...nothing. Zip. Meanwhile, a kinmate of mine has won seven Symbols. Seven.
