    Jumbo Cactpot Winners

    So on my server it's been since November 14th since somebody won the Jumbo Cactpot. Due to needing all the numbers exactly changed, we stopped getting any winners and get few and few people playing. The pot doesn't get bigger the longer without a winner. It's the same week after week. Winning is near impossible now so nobody really plays.


    Can we get some Cacpot adjustments? It's approaching 5 months without a winner.

    We've had pretty steady winners until mid november then something changed and no winners since. It seems to be across every server that I talk to as well. So something seriously has changed with Cactpot and needs fixing.

    What's different about the cactpot now? I think I overlooked the changes in the patch notes?

    Someone in my FC just won like a couple weeks ago.

    It's the lottery, it's random, it's not supposed to be won often.

    At the very least it shouldn't require you to have the numbers in the same order; even most real lotteries don't work that way.

    From my understanding that was what changed. It used to not require them in order. Then they changed it to require them in order and the win rate basically tanked.

    What do you mean with "in order"?
    To win the jackpot, you have to have all 4 digits correct...
    Having one or two digits in the middle correct but the start and end not correct never gave any payout either.

    In order = in the correct order.

    OP is saying the winning numbers can be 1234 but if you put down 4321, you won't win because it's not in the order they were drawn in. There's nothing wrong with the way they phrased it.

    Anyway, on topic. Gilga has winners every 2ish months, our first winners were after the pot had already been out for a month or two and about 10 people won. Since then it's only been 1-2 winners when we do get them, usually one.
