Jumbo Cactpot Winners

there should be a title if you lose 100 times in a row.

It's supposed to simulate a real lottery, and the real lottery goes months without a winner quite often.

I'd honestly wager that a some of it has to do with less people trying up to now lol. The chance of someone winning, even if your entire server participated, is astronomically small. Imagine if only a handful of people participated, how much lower those chances are.

Achievement name: Better luck tomorrow?
Title: Bad Luck <name> (reference to Bad Luck Brian)

True but that pot continues to build. From what I understand the cactpot resets every week. If they wanna make it that much harder to win, they should remove the reset as well.

Less people are playing, ergo, less winners.

Its a lottery that gives more MGP in the consolation prize than it does to enter it, there are no downsides to entering it each week, the less players participate, the less chance there is going to be a winner, nothing wrong with the odds, highest I have won is 3rd place. Getting first prize allows you to clean out all possible rewards (unless you choose the Fenrir) so its good very few people win it, real life lottery's work in the same way, it doesn't stack because you already get enough from the jackpot to begin with.

Whilst this may be true, a real lottery usually sees far more people winning mid-range prizes. Getting anything other than the consolation prize in the cactpot is exceptionally rare. The odds of getting the smaller prizes need to be increased. There's an achievement to win a cumulative total of 1 million MGP from the cactpot. The word 'cumulative' implies most people are expected to earn this over time via the smaller prizes unless they get lucky with a jackpot, yet I think the only way ANYONE will get that achievement is via a jackpot win as the smaller prizes are only marginally less rare.

The problem with jumbo is how much of a letdown it is compared to mini. In one round of mini, I often make more and hence have more fun than waiting a week to get almost nothing from jumbo.

Jumbo should pay out at least 10k even if I lose so that it's a nice boost and feels like it is worth the wait.

I usually make more from jumbo consolation prize and than all 3 mini pots combined.

Really?! You need to rework your method of playing mini. I can net almost 30k from mini's a week. They're pretty easy to predict. Sometimes I may go a few days without something good but it's ALWAYS more than jumbo.

On my server we had quite a few winners.
In February we had 4 (I think? 2 dates have 2 different names written under each one) and before that I think we had 5 more.

Yes, please! xD
