On August 23, 2006, in the process of buying a Daily Lottery Ticket, I noticed that it said that the next lottery draw was approximately August 30, 2006. Am I misunderstanding the word "daily" by assuming that it means once every day, not once every week? Quote:

Maybe it's disabled because there are no winners. If the reason for lowering bank interest is to reduce the number of tokens given out, that would imply that they are interested (no pun intended) in reducing the number of tokens. What better way to reduce tokens than to have a lottery system that does not produce any winners? Without a published list of winners, you probably should not buy a lottery ticket unless you really don't need the tokens. | |

None of us "really needs the tokens".
Also, multiple people have come forward and said their token counts came from the lottery. If you're so paranoid about a virtual economy, I recommend you withdraw all your tokens from the bank, in case the Media Store Stock Market crashes, and people rush to withdraw their savings. | |

A Media Store Stock Market could be a great idea, as the riskier investments can produce a greater reward. Heck, anything can be better than that 1.2% rate. | |

Actually, a fun fact? A single US dollar is worth approximately 50 Bemanistyle tokens. It's true. Just donate $1 to the site and see for yourself. | |

I'm surprised more people don't whore the lottery.
EDIT: Someone might want to check the Daily Lottery code or something, because it seems to have allowed me to enter 5 tickets multiple times today - on what seem to be separate contests. I thought I was just reading the dates in my history wrong or something - but it seems like daily contests are occurring more than just once a day or something...
I hope I don't get punished for this, as I came across this possible 'exploit' out of curiousity and not malice...

こにちわ I would like to know about how many of you think that the lottery really doesnt work? Just assuming since you cant view the winners that it is a little fishy. I really would at least like to know who won and how many times. | |

Gambling is an evil addiction, and a sin anyway. Earn you're tokens the old fashioned way: By submitting simfiles. Yay! 
I'm going to revive an old topic.  | |
