Thread: I've been winning Lotteries!

Which means the number of prizes have increased; and/or the number of contestants has decreased, or I should read "Fooled by Randomness," again.

Me too! I have won a gargantuan amount of Token Lotteries these past few weeks. One of my characters won it six times in a row.

'S nice.

Oh, so it isn't just me. I thought my cappie was bugged, since he has been winning the token lotteries seemingly non-stop since the start of the anniversary.

During the anniversary event, Turbine both increased the amount of lottories they offer and the number of winners for those lottories. I would wager that most of your wins have been for anniversary items. After the even ends, I would expect lottory wins to return to their previous success rate.

There is effectively a lot of lottery winners for the anniversary and other tokens. I won a lot with my 9 characters. But the "real" lotteries are not more generous.

I think it also depends on the level range of each character compared to the # of winners & the population on your server with the # of entrants.

As an example - for characters in the L75 token range they've won here and there but any character I have in the Ancient Silver (55-64) range have won a ridiculous number of times compared to any other lotto range.

The token lotteries seem to have exceptionally high win amounts, which is actually kind of nice. Been able to get quite a lot of marks

Yeah, I've gotten around 20,000 marks from token winnings so far over all of my characters, and that doesn't include the calenard ones, which I've been turning in for gift boxes with hopes of getting sigils.

Edit: Hmm, it looks like Turbine has noticed that we're getting tons of marks out of these token lotteries and decided to "fix the problem". I haven't seen a new one in more than a day now.
