But why did I buy raffle tickets for a raffle w/ no winner???

Sunday lottery 2,210 Tokenz Jackpot
Draw Date 05-18-2008
Winner None

5 Tickets Held, 10 Tokenz Each

Because I have it set up as a lottery and not a raffle.

A lottery is For me I don't care what one we use. I just thought it would be more realistic to use the lottery function. Since there will be some pots that keep rolling over into the next week creating huge jackpots.

That makes a lot of sense.

Could you imagine the excitement of if per say no one wins for a few draws and the figure grows to a really significant amount? That would be phenomenal and would create amazing excitement and the winner of that jackpot will be a very happy camper indeed.

Really, the cost to participate is minimal. The intrigue of the lottery is added value.

OK, another lotto question.

I punched a ticket # that I wanted and purchased the ticket.
Left the window, and came back and my number (that I had requested) was in the box again. So I purchased it. Can there be multiple tickets with the same number sold?
After that purchase, the ticket number became random.... I and I got some more

Yes, you can buy duplicate numbers. Not that you would want to.

The random numbers are just that, random. Other people may already have that number in play (split pot)

So if you think 150 is a lucky number and play it, James might play the same number because it's the horsepower of his car and Veronica might also play 150 because it just so happened that it was the random number suggested to her.

Hey I have another question here. I banked pretty much all of my tokenz so I should have like 36 in my checking and over 6k in my savings, but my checkings still says 6k and some... between checking and savings, the two numbers don't match either? Is there a glitch where it shows me to have 6k in checkings, even though I don't? Or is it just me that says 6208 under my name?

Jersey

I know when you do deposit in your savings it takes off a %. But I do seen 6208 under your name...

Could it be because its still pending and with all the posts/picture posts I've made it's grown again?

Cause if I go to my [check] thing, it shows like 72 tokenz in there.

RecklessTim

The number under your name is your total wealth, Savings and checking combined.

...BUT it does take a day or so for your money to switch over to the savings...and until it does, it doesn't show up in your total. You'll see it pop back up when it's no longer pending.
