No, you. Stay out of there.

- A new item, the Golden Lottery Ticket, has been added. You can spend one (and only one) GLT on a lottery, which will immediately give you 1000 tickets. Additionally, at the time of drawing, it will double your effective tickets up to a maximum of 10% of the total tickets bought.
-- If you already have more than 10% of the total tickets, it will have no effect. If you have >5% and <10%, it will effectively give you 10%.

Is that the effect "double effective tickets up to a maximum of 10% of the total tickets bought" would not be reflected in the total ticket count? I was just wondering if it's actually working. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

You should post before and after screenshots when you use a ticket.

Congrats

Congrats

thanks...usually I only buy 1 ticket or the like but that staff looked pretty good which is why I went for 828 (out of 246759 sold tickets).

btw 20 artifacts looks like the fifth prize to me? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

20 artifacts sells for up to 15k each which would be a total of 300k at best
my 50 blood tokens gives me 10 noodles that sells for a total of at least 550k, not to mention boss drops and tokens

No. just the 1000 will be counted.

Like it says in the patch notes, it will double the effective tickets at the time of drawing. It won't instantly double the number of tickets you entered.

Would using 3 golden tickets increase number of tickets by 8 times or 6 times? Would using 4 golden tickets increase number of tickets by 16 times or 8 times? Would using 5 golden tickets increase number of tickets by 32 times or 10 times?

I forget I my math terms so I have to phrase my question like that...

So, are Golden Tickets additive or multiplicative? As in, would three tickets give 2+2+2=6x tickets, or 2*2*2=8x tickets?

I'm amazed by how much more likely it is for poor people to win with 1 ticket compared to what it was like before with people dumping GP into tickets due to the high possibility of making it all back.

Wouldn't it be funny if the tickets one day went from like 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 tickets to 1,100,000,000,000,000,000 tickets?

So I was chatting with my friend (who is a WoW grandmaster or something like this) about equipment drops in modern RPGs, and realized that the equipment situations are very similar to HV. That is, I may never, ever get that perfect weapon. Then I had this sad face:

Anybody else come to this realization before me?

I already made note of this, and it looks I was wrong about the Golden Lottery Tickets, it seems to go up one about every 120,000 tickets.

I didn't copy down all the values, but at 477,861 tickets it was already at 5 golden tickets.
IIRC it was at 5 when in the low 400k range so I went with roundup(pool/100000), capped at 5.
