Lottery Upgrade

Suggestions and Contributions

Hello!
im making this post about the lottery.
yes it still exists.
no one uses it, and its ashame.

so im here to suggest new features for it. since no one wants the low amount of items give and the 5 sitrus berries. (when really its only 1. you don’t get 5. it just works that way.)

Lottery really isn’t the place for berries to be in imo.
Sure you can sell it but its only worth 100 poke. the same amount you get when you get one number matched.

I don’t remember how many numbers there are buy heres my idea of how the rewards should be:

1- 100 Poke
2- 250 Poke
3- 500 poke
4- random evolution stone, ex: water, fire, thunder stone. (worth 1,000 poke so)
5- Rev. Seeds/Herb
6- 10,000 poke

Or do you guys have a better idea of what the items should be?
come on I mean a lottery is suppose to be a place to rack in money.

Though if it does upgrade I suggest a limit on tickets being sold to people.

The whole thing needs an overhaul as it gives no decent rewards and the chance to get enough digits matched (from 0 to 9) is extremely low (the chance to match all 6 digits is 1/531441). The rewards you suggested don’t scale well with the odds though. Tickets also should become stackable again.

well, you have a point there.
hopefully staff see this.

When I first made the lottery, it was intended to be a money sink, hence the horrible win rates. It hasn’t been touched since then (2011ish?). Tickets shouldn’t be stackable, because then people would buy tens-of-thousands of tickets. The win rate needs to be rebalanced - maybe take into account weekly events, see how they can be incorporated.

We were recently talking about this in the ODP chat.

I fully agree that those prizes aren’t exactly the best. I don’t have enough time at the moment, but if anyone is able to create a rough draft of what the prizes should be, that the vast majority agrees on, it’ll be implemented.

Please note, the ticket will no longer be 25 Poke’, or whatever it is. You may suggest the ticket’s price, too!

Same can be accomplished with alternate characters, but stackable tickets will atleast not punish those people with limited free storage space. It’s also simple to set the item cap to 100 or something, getting many more tickets than that would be tedious.
