Subject: Lottery AGAIN i know
This has been brought up a few times but I must express my opinion...

This is what I worked out after some time playing the Westlands Lottery

The Hourly Gold Rush

Tickets cost 1,000 gold each. The max tickets 50 per game
Pay outs are...

3 matching numbers 10,000 (10x the ticket price)
4 matching numbers 80,000 (80x the ticket price)
5 matching numbers 475,000 (475x the ticket price)
6 matching numbers 10,500,000 (10,500x the ticket price)

My opinion - all but the jackpot is fair I mean the chances of getting 6 numbers are 10's of Millions to 1 not 10,500 to one.

The Weekly Mega Draw

Tickets cost 100,000 gold each. Max tickets 10 per game.
Pay outs are...

3 matching numbers 1,000,000 (10x the ticket price)
4 matching numbers 30,000,000 (300x the ticket price)
5 matching numbers 200,000,000 (2,000x the ticket price)
6 matching numbers 2,000,000,000 (20,000x the ticket price)

My opinion - The 4 and 5 matching numbers increased in terms of the prize for the ticket price e.g. Hourly goldrush 4 numbers pays 80x the ticket price but Weekly Mega pays 300x ticket price. The chances of getting 4 numbers are the same no matter the ticket price therefor should be the same. But then the jackpot for Hourly Goldrush is 10.500x ticket price which is really low and the Weekly Mega Draw is only 2,000x the ticket price so thats even worse.

Daily Sapphire Draw

1 sapphire per ticket. Max tickets 30 per game
Pay outs are...

3 matching numbers 10 sapphire (10x ticket price)
4 matching numbers 150 sapphire (150x ticket price)
5 matching numbers 750 sapphire (750x ticket price)
6 matching numbers 2,500 sapphire ( 2,500x ticket price)

My opinion - The prize compared to the ticket price has changed again and the 5 matching numbers 750x ticket price is so poor. and the Jackpot being only 2,500x the ticket price is really bad also

The Mega Lucky Helix Pot

200,000 gold per ticket. Max tickets 40 per game

This is different as the tickets cost gold and the prize is Helix so I will count each helix as the cheapest helix on the market even though this varies its not usually buy much. Right now it stands at 870,000 per helix. So 1 helix is 4.35x more than the ticket price of 200,000

Pay outs...

3 matching numbers 10 Helix (43.5x ticket price)
4 matching numbers 300 Helix (1,305x ticket price)
5 matching numbers 2,000 Helix (8,700x ticket price)
6 matching numbers 50,000 Helix (217,500x ticket price)

My opinion - By far the best Lottery Game in Westlands but still the jackpot for any lottery with as many numbers at Dark Warriors Lottery games they should be millions to 1. I know this is a game and not real life but the aim is to make this game as realistic as possible.

If anyone would like to see how I did the Element lottery just let me know as I have to be somewhere and have no more time.

To finish this post My idea is to either make the prizes more realistic or let us PICK OUR OWN NUMBERS . (there is lots I would like to say about numbers but am forbidden to speak about it)

If the Developers are worried about players winning the jackpot and taking 10,000,000x the ticket price making them so rich they wouldn't have to spend money in the game again then they should have the jackpot start low (1,000,000x ticket price) and build up after each draw that the jackpot was not won based on how much was taken in from losing tickets.
