assuming people only got gil for ranks 1-3......6,854,000,000 from rank 3 winners + 12,340,000,000 from rank 2 winners + 5,600,000,000 equals 18,624,000,000 gil being thrown into a somewhat stable economy. i don't think the game will last through the year unless SE bans the majority of people that win. I mean seriously...that is a lot of gil.

grats to all who won though. I didn't think they would make 5 separate numbers to win...but meh.

You have to take in account the amount of gil taken OUT of the economy from purchasing numbers as well. And no, you can't claim prizes yet...but at least you get more inv space from tossing nonwinning marbles! lol

@Littledarc

Math is slightly off, 24,794,000,000 gil.
Assuming even distribution, however unlikely:
~774,812,500 gil per server
~255 winners for each server
~3 million gil (averaged) to each person

An average of 3 million gil to each winner (tier 1-3) shouldn't have a huge impact on the economy.

Tier 4, 60461 winners. This may have a fair impact on limited aspects of the economy.

Thats ~1900 winners per server that now have the option of taking an item that generally sells for between 250k - 400k (numbers based on Leviathan). The auction house is likely to be flooded over the next few weeks with Behemoth Hides, Damascus Ingots, Damascene Cloths, Khroma Ores, Leaping Boots, and Emp. Hairpins. We'll probably see a substantial price drop as supply greatly exceeds demand.

Anyone else feel a little bit misinformed about the lottery? I was under the impression that it would be 1 number drawn not 5. Not that it changed the way I played (I wasn't one of those that filled up on mules and lvl'd them all to 5). It was just a bit surprising. At any rate I'm happy with 3 rank 4's and 17 slots back.

Well, that would not work because that the person who wins Rank 1 prize also won rank 2,3,4,5 and so on. This makes it less confusing.

_could_ have won. The way I would have interpereted that was that if they had drawn one number, and hit the big 5, you could have chose from any of the ranks, but not all at once (only once marble you're trading in at that moment).

I think a lot of people were confused when they announced it was 5 seperate drawings, and not one 5 digit number.

I may have played differently if I realized there were five drawings not 1.

My lucky number won rank 3, but I screwed up and played the reverse instead. My birth day also won rank 2, but I played my birth month instead. Maybe next year...

I fail to see how any strategy can be applied to a random number drawing other than buying enough marbles to cover a group of X numbers. Assuming that a mutliple-winning number could only be used to claim the higher-tier prize, the odds are exactly the same.

i think the way they did this drawing was total bull**** they should have drawn just one set of numbers, i didnt see anywhere in the info on this that they were going to draw seperate numbers for each rank. the biggest part of it that bothers me is the amount of gil in circulation that was removed due to this bogus lottery. they could of at least let you be able to sell your marbles to the moogle and at least recooped some of your lost gil. i had bought 120 marbles and got 4 exp scrolls i think that shows that this drawing was a total waste of fu****g time and gil and Square Enix should rethink how they do things like this and make sure its at least fair cause this was not

Damn... we almost made it 76 days without resurrecting this thread.

You strike me as someone who tried to play according to some sort of deluded "strategy", but in reality with 140 marbles you could have only covered tier 4 and 5 entirely by buying 00 to 99 inclusive, which would have netted you 10 exp scrolls and the ever-popular B.Hide from tier 4. Since this is not the case I would have to conclude you have only a very tenuous grasp of probability, had grossly overestimated your chances of winning subsequently needlessly gambling away a small fortune.

My recommendation is enrolling in a statistics course as well as avoiding casinos, lotteries, and sports-related betting, otherwise you will be even more disappointed. Possibly bankrupt.

On a lighter note... 14 characters? Are they all yours or did you pool in with several people?
