not sure if this is the right forum for this, but i figured this would answer my question i have without causing much trouble

since i joined, like 2 months ago i have bought a ticket for the 50/50 everyday except 1 and i havent won once, and mini moose who makes it work won a bunch of times, like 6 in a row, why is this?

Coincidence. It draws randomly. There's no reason Moose would need to 'rig' the thing for him to win. He could just edit his minerals with the Admin CP.

CODE
$winner = rand(1,$sold);
$DB->query("SELECT mid FROM `ibf_moose_lotto` WHERE tid={$winner} ");
// mid respresents member id, tid represents ticket id.

Think about it: If I wanted five kajillion minerals, I'd give myself five kajillion minerals.

A better question is why moose would play it in the first place...
But it's completely random, you just have bad luck. It's not like moose chooses who wins every day.

The more money in the pot = the more people play.

Yeah, Moose wins too often tongue.gif I thought he set it to like every 10 raffles he won or something. Either that, or he can buy 3 tickets at a time.

I would love to see the little thing under your name in your posts saying:

Minerals: 5 Kajillion

The code hates you for reaping such huge profits in Magic Boxes wink.gif (Honestly, it's just random)
