Jumbo Cactpot Won on Mateus

[Lethallin]

It's a 1/10,000 chance to win. For a lottery, that's really not that huge.

It's like a drop rate for a zodiac weapon.

There was a winner on Lamia this week, too. It was fun. Even though it wasn't me.

it seems dubious to me, there is bound to be more than one person who picks the same numbers

Well, there are 10,000 possible numbers and typically fewer than that many tickets sold, so there might occasionally be more than one first prize winner, but "bound to be more than one" seems to be overstating it a bit. (Unless you just meant that it's bound to happen occasionally, in which case I'd agree with that.)

If two people win the Jumbo cactpot at the same time, will they split the 1M reward and get 500k each? :P

They don't split any of the other prizes, so why would they split that one?
You get whatever prize your number earns, just like the description says you do.

Around 65ish servers across all data centers, thousands taking part in each one, bound to be one case where multiple people won the top prize within the last two weeks on at least one of those worlds/servers is what I was saying.

I was merely making a referring to real life lottery. If 2 or more people get all the numbers right, the jackpot is shared among the winners.

In real life lotteries, that money has to actually come from somewhere, and the State sponsoring the lottery will only have set aside enough for one jackpot. That's why it has to get split if there are multiple winners. (It's also why on a lot of lotteries the jackpot can go up next time if nobody wins it this time.)

In the case of the game, the points we earn are just points with no actual meaning besides a number, and they're created on the spot as we earn them. The reason for splitting a prize doesn't apply.
