    Cactpot winning numbers called backwards? or Player picking backwards?

    When choosing Cactpot winning numbers, you are asked to start by choosing the number from the left first then working your way to the right of the menu.

    I chose the numbers 8591, the winning number was 5491. I matched the last 2 numbers didnt I? I got the consolidation prize. This tells me that to match the winning numbers 5491, the player had to choose the numbers in this order 1954.

    I'm so confused! Left to right reading standard when the player chooses numbers. Right to left reading standard when the RNG calls the winning number.

    Not sure why yours didnt click. On my server, my husband matched the last 9 from the winning number 9279 on his ticket and won 1200MPG.

    Don't know, I figured it would be drawn right to left like they did in XI.

    One matched digit, and it was the last one... As it's supposed to be.

    If you watch it happen, they are drawn from right to left.

    Japanese game, japanese read from right to left.


    Still I would feel kind of cheated, if say I choose 2314, and the winning numbers were called out as 2,3,1,4 which resulted in the winning number being 4132. >.>

    To avoid this kind of negative perception I think it would be better to just announce all 4 digits at the same time.

    thats what im saying. or maybe have us pick numbers starting from the right? I feel so cheated even though theres no sound strategy in picking numbers.

    Just when you see whats posted as winning numbers and read "last X numbers matching" you would put 1 and 1 together and say omg i picked 1234 and the winning number is 1234, WHAT!? its actually 4321?

    Glad I just spam random for about 20 clicks and take whatever comes up. Don't even note the actual number, lol

    Why twenty? Click one is just as random as click 20.
