Congrats to the winners!

 

wow Elmo won again and my over 500k gold are gone.

 

I would really be curious how many tickets Elmo is tossing into the ring (was it him who somehow keeps beating the RNG every release?)

 

wow... 500k... I only put in 40k every raffle... sadly, not getting very lucky... T_T

 

30k each raffle here, 2 of each

Congrats winners!

 

Woo... I won one. I habitually buy one (1) POT ticket each release.
It is possible to win a deed with a minimum investment.

 

i want to believe! *sniffle.... but grats to the winners including our own guild member Aengus!

 

Congrats, I won a couple when the odds were better and now feel the need to keep playing in order to retain a full set of tickets as decorations, also only getting a couple is offset by the daily oracle visit.

 

True... with the daily 500gp from the Oracle, everyone can (if they buy COTO from players in game to pay their lot taxes) keep up a Row Lot, and buy a POT Deed Raffle Ticket every release for the time investment of going to visit the Oracle every day.

 

I'm still wishing for the day we can stack them on top of each other. I only have so much horizontal space.

 

Ha! Yeah I was hoping they would make them into flat tickets that appear more like their inventory icon, reusing the scroll was a quick way to make them decorations.

 

I'd be curious on the tech on how numbers are drawn based on lottery tickets bought. Maybe it would shed some light on how someone has been able to win every single lottery.

 

I've been putting in 60k, 4 of each, which is basically all the Oracle money from four accounts.

I recall hearing that Lum puts them all into an Excel spreadsheet, assigns a random number 0.0..1.0 in another column, then sorts by that column. I hope nothing bad ever happens to Excel, because it would probably mean the end of civilization as we know it.

 

It seems odd they would deny someone winning two at once, yet let someone win twice in a row.
I'm going to reconsider whether or not I continue to try, because I need to know there's fairness in the distribution.
I don't need good odds of winning, just a fair chance. Hopefully they will look at it again.

Also, the image links are broken for me- so I have no idea who won.

 

Aye, links with four slashes isn't the correct syntax, I'm curious what system keeps generating it for the devs.

 

Ugh..this makes my heart hurt..someone write a python script to do that for him, if that's the case!

 

Diaz says wow. 2 of each ticket per month since april. yea. it happens.
I remember reading Lum the Mad years ago.
Thanks Lum

 

The second time would be on completely different tickets. They don't want someone winning multiple deeds from the same mass purchase block of tickets, especially now that it's down to ten of each kind.

 

I'm trying to wrap my head around why I am perfectly fine playing the odds against 300000 people buying 1 ticket each, and at the same time, I would not be fine playing against 10 people with 30,000 tickets each.
It seems like my brain thinks there's something more fair about having a ticket purchase limit. I really can't have, articulate or defend a point of view...but something about this doesn't feel right.
The best I can do is hope someone other than me will revisit it with that in mind- maybe they can make sense of it.
