I know that luck plays a role in every lottery system, but in year you do not have any chance? Not even in top 10 once? This is kind of weird thing, and I still doubt if any of the free players can be part of the lottery works. You can see each week there is always a winners but yet no one ever claimed that they are winning the prize. May be some explanation from thequin might help here
There's an easy explanation - you're factually incorrect.
Last week the 3rd place winner had only 70 tickets so I suspect they were gained free.
At least 4 first place winners have come forward and posted about in this and other threads.
Yes there have been people who have claimed to have won on the lottery.
I still think it's fixed until I win
JokeThe highest wagerer is currently at 70BTC, that's higher then I'd have expected. I was going to put in 0.1BTC and get a bot running to gamble with 0.001BTC and see how high I could get (with 0.01 odds) but that seems a bit dishonest - though theres still an equal chance to gaining and losing the same amount. I'm not sure if anyone's done this though (there's probably a slim chance you'll get profit from it or your betting will at least last a bit longer on the site).
And only halfway through the month. The race for second has been hotting up a bit this week as well. I still wouldn't be surprised to see a really big high roller come in and take it though.
I can imagine we'll find a whale who will get 200
BTC wagered there yet in the next few weeks.
