    So, I have done the calculations, after buying about 1 lotto ticket a day (at mayor) this is how much I have spent throughout the months: (Note: Never won the lotto either)

    3 Months x 30 Days = 90 Days. 90 Days x 1000 = 90000 Ecodollars.
    90000 Eco Dollars Down The Drain.

    So Beware, 1 lotto ticket may not seem like much, but it sure is in the long run.

    Similiar for me. I buy 3-5 a day, and have been on about same time, loads of cash down the drain. Near 500k

    The lotto is usally throwing away money if you only do 1 ticket there may be sometimes when you win but not often. Usally at the last second the lotto gets sniped and you lose 1k. Ive lost so much to the lotto thats why i only have 1k atm.

    The lotto is crap. It amazes me how often the very last person to buy a ticket wins. Also, when you have people dumping in 500k and 1m like I saw yesterday, there is no point. Lastly, lottery spam is seriously annoying and in my opinion, should be a banable offense. There are server mods that do this even though it is against the rules, so I guess just wishful thinking.

    I just wish that the lotto payout % was even less. You can probably guess that I don't like the lotto and you would be right. I think that there is enough spam out on the chat that I would rather not have messages that are interesting wisked away to see that some clown just bought a lottery ticket.
