31 choices for picking the 6th and last number

However,
If you got the row 1,10,11,12,13,14 that would be just as good as getting 10,11,12,13,14,1. So to eliminate the duplicates there are 1*2*3*4*5*6 number of duplicates to remove

Or,
(36*35*34*33*32*31) / (1*2*3*4*5*6) = 1 947 792

Oh, like one of the first things to get taught if you take a statistics class, or a little more than basic math...

Isn't there 99 numbers? Have not done it in a while so I may be wrong.

All I know is, Befallen got to around 1100 plat...and I was rolling those dice daily, for long periods of time. Made me sad to finally xfer off Befallen and stop rolling the lotto for my main. 2 days later the jackpot was won.

those tricky goblins

much like the real lottery, if you do the math on this you'll realize that you are way behind the curve on how much you need to spend vs expected profit.

it's a fun thing to do while waiting for a boat. that's it. if you're botting this to try to seriously make money, you're in the wrong business. the odds posted above look correct, if i remember my statistics... i.e. the jackpot has to be at 20k plat before it's mathematically worth it to seriously bot it for profit.

lotteries have always been a tax on the mathematically deficient. at least the real ones usually benefit some state-run organization.

Awesome odds

no wonder noone on Runnyeye ever won it.

I did. Was few days after it went live and I won the awsome amount of 14plat

Got tells from all over the server. A few days later it was reset for some reason and my name was gone and nobody has won ever since. *shrug*

Ah alright then.
I assumed that the list of winners (which is none on RE) was correct, by bad.
