Richter2006-10-09 18:00:14
Heh, I missed that last part after I shouted. It was 2am, and I'd just wasted 400k. tongue.gif

Right now, I'm still mad at myself that I stayed up that late to watch the results, because I feel like crap. Luckilly, I just poured a cup of coffee...
Unknown2006-10-09 18:44:57
Its rigged.

The probability of Shamarah winning with only six tickets bought out of twenty thousand is absurd. This is beyond just plain stupid luck.
Shamarah2006-10-09 19:08:46
0.03%, to be exact.

The program that calculated the winner probably just went, "Oh censor.gif, Shamarah bought tickets, he's so awesome we probably just ought to give him the lottery even though it's ridiculously improbable."
Unknown2006-10-09 19:11:37
Not really, when you think about it.

In MA, we have lotteries and I see people buying 10-20-even 50 tickets when the jackpots get up there.

AFAIK, most lotteries don't go to the person who spends tons of money on tickets. To this date I never heard of a person who bought multiples winning a huge jackpot.
Ekard2006-10-09 19:21:12
I bought 100 in each lottery, so 50k of gold. And won 100k.

I dont remeber exacly but i bet i posted it in last year topic how much i bough last time, when i won cartel. if i remeber correct i bough 100 in each too.

/sagenod

Sure he didn't buy a heck of a lot of tickets, but he didn't buy just one either.

I dont think the amount of tickets you buy comes into the equation really at that level, because such a large amount of people buy tickets and there are so many variables involved with the tickets themeselves and the winning combination(s). Here, there are no multiple sets of numbers that make up the winning combo, just one. That simplifies things a little. And the fact that Shamarah won, one of Lusternia's most popular players, that adds another layer to it. Lets say there are about 500-600 active lusternians ( i dont know the actual numbers ) There are I would say about 20-30 players out there as distinguished in the game as him. Its just another layer of probability. Some part of me thinks it was rigged just so Richter could lose....

*sigh*

Wish I was a math major huh.gif
Shamarah2006-10-09 19:30:31
Wait, I thought you were kidding, you seriously think it was rigged? huh.gif
Unknown2006-10-09 19:34:07
I do!

Yeah yeah, sour grapes huh?

How could it not be? After all, the biggest ticket buyer always wins.

Oh, and there are 5 people reading this thread, and 4 of them have names starting with A. Heh... neat happy.gif

Whats the mystery artifact?
