    That sucks. Tell your dad to unlock it because it is fake, also, change your occupation because you can't play lotto any more :p

    Hacking is legal and illegal in certain circumstances and it depends on where you live. The term "hacking" can refer to number of things and depending on the context can refer to both legal and illegal activities. Now when it comes to circumnavigating security in-place on your private property depending on how it is done it can be considered hacking or simply finding an alternative way of doing things. Either way if it his own private property it is considered legal in most places.

    If your dad doesn't want you doing it, there's no need to try and circumvent it. It's illogical, unprofitable, and impractical in this case. If he were to suddenly stop receiving screenshots, you'd have more problems and more restrictions.

    I sometimes wonder why more parents don't look down upon the in-game lottery. I am 23 almost 24 so gambling isn't illegal for me but 98% of the population on this server is under age...just a thought. Also yes I know it is virtual money but like I said just thinking.

    My parents have cracked down on me for doing lottery on this sometimes. I'm terrible with money on here, but that's because I know it's fake and it doesn't matter if I lose it or keep it. In real life I'm actually one of those people that refuses to spend money sometimes because something sounds too expensive etc.

    I am honest enough with myself to see the reason for y my parents did what they did. Gambling is a serious irl issue and I should not take part in it. I am not going to try and circumnavigate my parents or try and "hack" through my dads firewalls. I will occasionally play but only when I'm at a friends house. For everyone telling me to hack I will not. Thank you for your advise though:) I know u mean it all in good will.

    But be warned. If I ever return to lotto it will be with a huge amount of money and only tommy will stand a chance>:) but for now I am content on farming for my money

    I can see your parents are very strict and or protective, what I personally would do is go up to my parents and stand up to them saying that it's a game and that I don't want you all up in my buisness on the computer. Ever since I stood
    Up to my parents (subject ill tell if you pm me) they respect me more and allow me to do more stuff.

    My parents don't care, they don't like me on the forums though. A girl in my school called the cops for some kids doing NCAA brackets with money. I did that for 10 bucks in my dads office pool and I won 270 bucks.

    Wow if my parents did this I would flip out. I don't involve my parents with my online life. I like to keep them separate

    Congrats, you have received my first and only rating. For some reason, I'm not the kind of person who gives ratings.

    Is there a way to disconnect from the lottery announcements and the hunger games?

    To hide lottery messages type /lot messages but there is no way to disable Survival games messages.

    Well I never play lotto at all :p

    I tried it a few times, but it's like a whirlpool. Every time I stuck my feet in I felt like I was slipping away.
    It takes a lot of concentration and willpower to stop from doing lotto when you do it a lot. Good luck with keeping away from it though.

    Interesting program too, never heard of anything like it. Does seem a bit protective though. It is virtual money and you don't actually lose anything, but it only sets you up for problems later in life.
