    Paraskavedekatriaphobia lottery

    Anyone else who think the name of this lottery is made of win? Turbine really needs to keep these awesome lotteries coming!
    For those who don't know, the word is derived from Greek and obviously means 'Fear of Friday the 13th' (Paraskevi = Friday and Dekatreis = Thirteen).
    I just hope I win those fireworks just like I did last month.

    I do love these type of lottos

    One question, though. The gift boxes I think were x2 - do these stack?

    I have no clue. I had one character win. I got the pumpkin ale, the red fireworks, but no gift boxes. I want the hobbits in charge of shipping dept fired!

    Same thing here, two wins, ale and fireworks, no boxes. Though, one win was a 68, the other was a 21. Perhaps the gifts were 70+, despite the min. 13 on the lotto.

    It happens when an item doesn't stack and a stack is given as a reward. (Happened some time ago with the barrow cheese).

    Same on my RK and Warden. Still, was a fun lottery though and brought a grin when I saw it on the lottery page/checked my mailbox this morning.

    5 wins and no boxes, I just tell myself that its fine as they'd probably have needed keys to open in order to get my insect hewer or power pots out.

    Glad you all enjoyed it. We had considered updating all the prizes to be 13, but there's more work to that than you might think.
