17.4.4 LOTTERIES

In order to participate in a Lusternian lottery, type LOTTERIES to see what lotteries you can enter. 

If there is one available, you can LOTTERY INFO <lottery #> to get more information, including the prizes, the ways to buy and the ticket costs.

Tickets may be bought at one of the lottery offices in your local city or commune. The syntax for buying tickets is BUY TICKET IN <lottery #>. To buy more than one ticket, you can do BUY <amount> TICKETS IN <lottery #>. You want to buy tickets for someone else? Just do BUY TICKET IN <lottery #> FOR <person>.

In some cases, tickets are procured differently and exchanged at the lottery office for tickets. For lotteries with vouchers (which are gained alongside daily credits, see HELP DAILY CREDITS), you can exchange your vouchers with LOTTERY EXCHANGE VOUCHER IN <lottery #>.
