    The latest Lot Deed Raffle was drawn with deeds awarded to the following lucky winners. There were two raffles, one for each lot type:

    Place Anywhere Deeds (10):
    • Row: 5
    • Village: 3
    • Town: 1
    • City: 1
    Player Owned Town Deeds (10):
    • Row: 5
    • Village: 3
    • Town: 1
    • City: 1
    Raffle tickets grant the holder a chance to win deeds of any size (Row, Village, Town, or City). Raffles will be held monthly (total deed numbers may vary each month).

    This is the latest raffle where we limited winners to one deed per raffle type. Winners can claim their deed(s) simply by logging into the game and claiming rewards at any bank.

    Congrats all!

    If you wish to review all of your account rewards outside of the game, you can do so by going to the Account menu on the main website and then selecting the ‘Special Rewards’ tab in the page menu.

    Release 43 Raffle Now Open!

    There will be no free raffle tickets with this Raffle. Tickets can be purchased with in-game gold. As with the previous raffle, each person can only win a single deed of each type (maximum of one place anywhere and one POT). The drawing and winners will be announced at the start of the next release cycle.

    There are two raffles, one for each lot type:

    Place Anywhere Deeds (10):
    • Row: 5
    • Village: 3
    • Town: 1
    • City: 1
    Player Owned Town Deeds (10):
    • Row: 5
    • Village: 3
    • Town: 1
    • City: 1

    More information about the raffles can be found in the latest Release Instructions announcement.

    A reminder for previous raffle winners to claim your deeds in the bank!

    Luck certainly seems to follow some... since they have won in every single lottery.

    I really think that the lottery should be stopped. It has never achieved the goal of putting lots in the hands of players that don't have them. Instead it is just a scalper fest.

    A much better solution is to put the lot chance in the game, in a place that favors nobody. And that place is fishing. Let everyone have an equal chance at a very rare deed drop. Still a gold sink for worms. Problem solved.

    @Berek : Are the R41 Raffle tickets going to be converted to decorations so we can get them out of backpacks as well as the R42 tickets?

    They seem to have failed to update the description although they have had 10 of each for the past couple of months now.

    Wahooo!

    RE: Raffle scalpers or whatever you call them, both times I've won (yep, I've won twice) I only bought one of each type of ticket. Also, both times were when there weren't many lots left.

    I lost a lot of money in the early days when there were tons of people buying.

    So my advice is just buy 1 ticket, or 1 of each! Give the Gods of chance a chance, but don't get caught up in pouring tons of gold into it.

    Now work out the odds on your three wins in six with a single ticket and you will understand why people might be getting a bit salty. Can we have a live draw please, tickets with numbers and an RNG

    Just checked and they should be decorations now! Give it a try and let me know if they are not.

    Sorry about that Arcadeguy, they are now linkable!

    I always wondered if there is a real need to put more lots into the game with current population. It seems like there is more people hoarding lots (profit in the future) than actual active players in need of a lot/house.
