    They should make it 5 numbers.. 4 is jackpot, 5 is a free mount from cash shop... It will keep people playing. It's a 1/50000 chance not like they're losing out

    Funny thing about it tho is if enough people play, you don't really lose anything. I pay 100, then in return I end up with 200 or so just based on how many were sold. However I do agree they need to let us buy more tickets. Jack up the cost if need be of the 2nd to say 1000 or whatever but keep the limit of two. Its a lottery yes but its also a game, not like they are taking a hit to the wallet if someone wins every week.

    I think it's mostly just far fewer people playing. You can check how many tickets have been sold at any time. A few times I've taken note that the final bonus awarded for total ticket sales wasn't unlocked because so few were playing (Behemoth).

    Given the increases to MGP in other areas they should consider upping the jackpot and/ or allowing multiple tickets per week.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
