Lottery is a racket with only a few who get more out of it than they put into it. You know how a lottery works right? Of course you dont. You made this topic.

It's probably best if we just tell you that it's magic rather than trying to actually explain.

Heh.

It tends to work that when you have lots of money, you can buy expensive things. Funny how that works. If you can turn around and make those expensive things make you more money, all the better.

A wizard did it.

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

Well you see... In the beginning, there was the Veldspar, and Chribba mined it, and he saw that it was good.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I thought the ships given away by lottery corps were purchased through Aurum in the NEX Store? Aren't those ships more powerful than any others of their class with higher stats and unique colors?

Dude, trust me.. They make FAR MORE than any of those ships are worth selling the tickets..

I wondered about this too until I started talking to one group and looking over how they make their profits.

Or are you talking about the free lotteries?

Calculate.

(cost of ticket * number of tickets available) - market price = a ton of profit.

Where do you buy your ships? Dont be stupid. CCP doesnt sell ships to anyone. WTF are you even talking about.

nevermind. i make them and sell them to every lotto site. i have the WAND module.
