Jumbo Cactpot Winners

[PirateCat]

It's already so easy to get Mgp... I can net 1 mil in like a month or 2 just from tournaments / challenge log / dailies... Get like 140k every week just from tourneys, people I'll tell you this because I got everything from gold saucer already.. But even winning 1 game per LoV tournament gives you around 40,000 MGP lol...

Fair enough, but there isn't an achievement for getting 1,000,000 MGP via Triple Triad/LoV tournaments.

Why don't they do what real lotto's do? Allow people to buy more than one ticket? Maybe at the same time, increase the payouts a bit considering they did the same for the GATES and such (7k mgp just for the typhoon gate win now? sheesh, wasnt it 3k?).

I don't think they need to make it easier to get a grand prize however. I think that would be a mistake. Maybe let people buy up to 5 tickets, but most expensive prices the more you get (like mini cactpot). If anything, take winning the jackpot off of the achievement meta before making it easier to win from its mechanics. No one goes to gold saucer on my server as it is hardly but there are still people there every day to get their minicactpot and such even so. Take the need for that away from people and I doubt they'd ever go (as in if everyone won the big jackpot and was rolling in mgp).

Ya the odds are way too bad atm, they should allow any order of the same numbers or change it to daily jumbo tickets or at very least up the worst mpg payout to 10k or something so we can slowly built towards even if we don't win, not like mpg is hard to come by after the new changes but some of us do like getting the achievements.

the numbering needs to be fixed too one week I picked 9124 the winning number was 9123 . with the current way it said I matched 0 and won a consolation ...

honestly I keep thinking that they should treat each cactpot entry as a raffle ticket. Whatever the winning numbers are, at least one person walks away with the jackpot weekly. It would certainly motivate more people to participate if their odds were somewhere between 1 in x and 1 in 10000. Because the latter could take years at the very least. With the former there's the illusion of hope.

The problem with that method is that people would start to band together to all choose the same numbers. This would boost the odds of winning significantly. Any system that isn't left to complete RNG, players will find an exploit and abuse it.

It would be to their detriment because the prize would be shared between them all. There's also no reason why they can't introduce uniqueness to the numbers, if yours is already sold then choose a new one (the random option ensuring you find a vacant one). You could also pre-reserve the same number for eternity if you so wished, every ticket has the same chance to win so theoretically the number is "less important" in the proposed system because you know one person will win each week, it is more important for the lower prizes.

If there's anything I've learned from being a spoony bard, it's that someday 69 is gonna make me a winner. And Imma laugh all the way to the bank!
