Default Lottery Price?

If you go to vbPlaza Menu--> Most Sold--> Click on "View" for lottery under "Item History" and you can see every ticket sold and how much it cost...

My question is: How come some people buy *5* tickets for 243.41 and I pay 264.58?

Ex:

8 ) Buy Lottery Ticket
Lottery Name: Daily Lottery - Number of Tickets: 5
04-07-2008, 07:23 PM 264.58
9) Buy Lottery Ticket
Lottery Name: Daily Lottery - Number of Tickets: 5

I could be wrong here but I think that some days the lottery might be more popular so its a supply and demand thing, the demand goes up the price goes up...you know?

I have noticed that - that each time I buy tickets, it's a different price. I am pretty sure there is a tax, but then not sure why that varies. One of the many forum mysteries!

I always thought it was based on your member status.... the higher status you have the cheaper it is?

Default Re: Lottery Price?

Just out of curiousity, what kind of odds are on our lottery? I know that sounds silly, but is winning something that happens with some regularity? I just dont want to spend a bunch of points if its impossible to win, at least until I get more points accumulated...My greatest fear is to not have enough points to open an attachment that I want to see...lol.

Default Re: Lottery Price?

the odds depend on how many people enter each time. so it's tough to say.
