St. Patrick's Bell Boom Week starts now!

The odds are 1:28

shouldn't this be x:56, with the x being the number of tickets purchased with different number combination? (8 starting numbers with 7 to choose from right after, so 8*7=56 total combinations)

btw, what happens if you win off of multiple tickets on the bells lottery?

does it just pay out for the biggest winning one (or just one if tied) or do they all pay out?

and for the kaleidoclover lottery, does it paying out the pity wins on all tickets mean you hypothetically could get 3 clover tickets if you super high stakes'd it and just bought 3 tickets all with the same number? (unless the system prevents that, I guess)

I got two bells and had 3 in two combos so I'm guessing 3 was one of the numbers. Curious what the other one was.

Actually that's not true I could have had one correct number in one combo and a different correct number in another combo

I thought so too at first, but since you can fill out your combination in two ways (2 and 3, or 3 and 2) I looked it up and indeed this is what I found: "since you can choose your winning numbers in any order, your chances of winning are somewhat better than this. Your chance betters by the number of different ways that a sequence of 2 numbers can be written down, which for 2 numbers is 2! (2 factorial) or 2. Divide 56 by 2 to account for this, to get 28. In other words, there are 2 different ways that the 2 numbers you choose can be filled out on your lottery ticket--if you choose your 2 numbers correctly, any of these ways will make a winning ticket."

Is there a way to check which numbers you picked? I'd love to know which ones won as well. I got 1 bell for each combo.

go back to the lottery tab and click on 'more information' just above where you purchase the ticket : )

Thanks. Couldn't find my numbers though. I'm just a bit confused because if I remember correctly I picked 3 different combos out of a total of 3 numbers (a+b, b+c and a+c). I really don't see how I could get 1 bell for each combo. That's why I wanted to check which numbers I picked.

How do I sell the turnips? I don’t see the sell button.

Oh wait, today is Sunday. You can’t sell turnips on Sunday.

oh you're totally right, i swear i could see them there yesterday! : ( sorry!!

You can only see the numbers for the tickets you bought today if I'm not mistaken. I don't think there is a way to see your picks for previous lotteries.

(And yes, you do have to buy new tickets every day for the kaleidoclover raffle)

Wait so everyday I can buy tickets? Is it only for the clover or does this apply for the lotto as well?

You buy tickets every day for the clover
But the bell lotto isn't drawn every day, so you buy tickets for each drawing

 

[skarmoury]

I just googled a lottery odds calculator.. I used http://www.webmath.com/lottery.html to calculate!

 

[princepoke]

are they really giving out based on numbers though? it seems like by the way the prizes are listed (2/2 or smthing), theyre going to be pulling out winners/specific tickets, rather than actually pulling out numbers(?)

also makes u wonder how many number ud need to align to actually get the kaleidoclover then hmmm
