Jumbo Cactpot working ad intended?

[Momita]

As ingame, u can win 4/4 numbers, last 3 numbers, last 2 numbers and last number...
ok first prize is obviously but other winners... why the hell i nave to guess last numbers and not in the right positions numbers?
ex.
winning number: 5362
my number: 5374
char2 number: 7762

soooo in this way i don't win ANYTHING instead other guys win 2/4 numbers prize... i don't see the point of this.

sorry for autocorrector error

Nope you don't win anything, rules are rules. Better luck next time.

[Zanasae]

What's the point of that? That doesn't make any sense.

[RobinRethiel]

As Siyron said, rules are rules. There is no point. It's a pure luck system. If you are lucky, you get rich, if not, not. It's a very brutal RNG system, with very few very big winners and the mass gains nothing, so there are indeed a lot better systems with a much wider spreading of winners, but well... Squares decision. Ask them, why they implemented something like that. Got nothing to do with the original GS and it's also kind of strange for a MMO. Maybe it's for their homeland audience. Gambling is a big thing in Japan, though very restricted by law.

Are you saying that your character 2 didn't win anything? Wouldn't make sense if you got the last 2 numbers.

[SpiritMuse]

This is very common in real world lotteries. They always count from last to first, anything else doesn't matter.

Maybe where you are but every single lottery where I am and most in Europe work the other way around.

Pick from left to right and numbers drawn from left to right. Winning numbers matched left to right.

Sure, some work the other way but I wouldn't say it is that common. It seems counter intuitive to have to pick opposite to drawn. Would make more sense if had to pick right to left and drawn right to left with right to left numbers matching equals win or pick left to right and drawn left to right and left to right matching numbers wins. Picking left to right yet drawn right to left and right to left being the winning combination opposite to the way in which numbers are picked is very odd to a vast amount of people I am guessing, myself included.

All the ones I know of here in the US is also like this, also order doesn't matter either, if you have the number, you have the number.

Likewise. I told a FC member they *must* have won something as they had several numbers but not in the order picked. The rest of the FC then informed me that it wasn't the case as US lotteries do the back to front thing. That was the first I'd heard of it, either in game or in real life. It's completely alien to us in Europe as reading things backwards isn't a feature of our indigenous languages.
