How to Play
To participate in the Neopian Lottery, you must buy a ticket (at a cost of 100 NP) containing six unique numbers between 1 and 30. While you could use the numbers 1-2-3-4-5-6, using 1-1-2-3-4-5 wouldn't be allowed, as the same number will never come up twice on the same run. The order in which you enter the numbers isn't taken into account, as both your ticket and the winning numbers will automatically be ordered from lowest to highest. You can buy up to twenty lottery tickets each day.
Despite what the lottery page says, each day the drawing time gets a little later!
In order to win, four, five, or six numbers on your ticket must match the numbers that come up in the lottery. Only the tickets with the greatest number of matches will be considered winners; even if your ticket has five matching numbers, if someone else has six matches, you would win nothing.
The jackpot each day depends on the number of tickets sold, with any Neopoints spent on tickets going directly to the prize pool. There is also a bonus of 5,000 NP added to the pool; if 10,000 people bought tickets in a given day, the jackpot would be 1,005,000 NP. The prize is split between all winning tickets.
If you have a winning ticket, you will receive an e-mail (not a Neomail) letting you know the winning numbers and how much you've won.
Me, I never play the lotto. Have you taken a statistics class?
While you're normally unable to purchase multiple tickets with the same numbers on them in a given day, it's possible to do so through a quirk in the way tickets are processed. When generating a ticket from the numbers you've entered, the lottery will arrange the numbers from lowest to highest; by submitting different arrangements of the same numbers, you can receive multiples of the same ticket.
This technique could be used to play the game in a way that was never intended, but there is no clear advantage to doing so. While winning with two of the same ticket would award you nearly twice the NP you would get otherwise, it diminishes your odds of winning by a large enough amount as to not be worth it.
If you would like to increase your odds of winning on a given day, there's a trick that can be used to double your number of tickets: simply purchase twenty tickets sometime after the lottery has been drawn for the day, then purchase another twenty after midnight (and before the next drawing). Since the lottery is drawn in the afternoon, but the ability to buy tickets is reset at midnight, you can buy two sets of tickets and use them in a single drawing (though this means that you will not be able to buy tickets for every drawing).

Scoring
While the Neopian Lottery doesn't have a traditional high score table, it does award trophies, based on the number of Neopoints won with a single ticket.
And you can sometimes win Codestones too in the Battledome Beta. It was taken to the extreme when the Coincidence Daily occurred, with many junk items that would normally be worth 1 NP on the shop wizard suddenly jumped to more than 10K, simply due to hyper-inflators. The annual-ish Charity Corner events also enforce this in the same way.: King Skarl, King Hagan, and King Kelpbeard all exude this trope, and this tends to be by villains.: Character names range from normal names like Lucy, Jake, and Rosie to names like Meerouladen and Prytariel. Neopets tv show episodes. Grundos and Alien Aishas have a tendency to be Aeriths.

While it is possible to win a trophy after buying multiple tickets with the same numbers as described above, the odds of doing so are incredibly low. On top of this, since the jackpot is shared by all winning tickets, you would actually decrease the likelihood of receiving the higher-tier trophies. If you were the sole winner of a 500,000 NP jackpot, split between two tickets, each ticket would only award 250,000 NP, thus giving you the bronze trophy rather than silver.

The Neopian Lottery
Like its real life counterpart, the Neopian Lottery is a lottery game based on luck. Neopoints are rewarded for guessing the correct combination of numbers!
How to Play
In order to buy a ticket for the lottery, you need to purchase a ticket at the cost of 100 NP. Once purchased, you will be given an option to enter 6 unique numbers ranging from 1-30. However, you can not enter the same number twice on one ticket. The order of the numbers on your ticket do not matter, because when the winning numbers are chosen, your numbers and the ones on the winner will be placed in numerical order from lowest to highest. You are only permitted to buy 20 lottery tickets per day.
Winning the Lottery
The winning numbers are drawn daily at 4:16 p.m. NST.
To win the lottery, four, five, or six of the numbers on one of your tickets must match the winning combination of numbers. However, if you do not have all numbers matched, and someone else has more matches than you, you will not win anything. If you have the highest amount of matching numbers, you will win.
In the event that you win the lottery, you will receive an e-mail from Neopets letting you know the winning numbers and the amount of NP that you won.
The amount of Neopoints in the jackpot depends on the amount of people that purchased tickets that day, plus a bonus. For example, if 5,000 people were to buy one lottery ticket per person, the jackpot would be 505,000 NP. The extra 5,000 NP are added from the bonus, an extra addition made to the pool by the game itself. However, if you are not the only one who wins the lottery, you will not receive the full sum from the prize pool. If 5 people win the 505,000 NP prize pool, the Neopoints will be divided among them, allotting 101,000 NP to each person.
If you buy one ticket, your odds of matching numbers is as follows:
Matching 6 numbers – 593,775:1 or 0.0002%
Matching 5 numbers – 4,123:1 or 0.024%
Matching 4 numbers – 143:1 or 0.7%
If you buy 20 tickets with different numbers, your odds of matching numbers is as follows:
Neopets Lottery Ticket
Matching 6 numbers – 29,689:1 or 0.003%
Matching 5 numbers – 206:1 or 0.49%
Matching 4 numbers – 7:1 or 13.9%
Evidently, purchasing more tickets drastically increases your chances of winning. If you buy 40 tickets by using a method discussed later, your odds will be just about doubled.
If you don’t win right away, don’t lose hope! The lottery is a game of odds, so just keep playing.
Tricks and Tips
- Although you generally cannot purchase multiple tickets with the same numbers on them in one day, there is a cheat that will allow you to do this. Since the lottery automatically arranges your chosen numbers from lowest to highest, you can simply enter the same numbers in different slots for each ticket. This way, you can get more than one of the same ticket. If you were to win with two of the same ticket, you would receive double the amount of NP.
- If you want to increase your odds of winning, you can follow a certain method which will let you purchase double the amount of daily allowed tickets. Purchase one set of 20 tickets any time after the lottery is drawn in the afternoon (after 4:16 p.m. NST). Then, buy another set after midnight. The lottery is drawn at 4:16, but the time when you can purchase more tickets is reset daily. Therefore, the tickets you purchase after the lottery is drawn can only count for the next day, along with the ones you bought normally for that day.
- Even though these are not guaranteed, there is a list of common patterns which generally show up in the winning numbers. Please note that this is only a collection of previous winning sets, and will not necessarily reflect upon future drawings.
The first number will usually be 1, 4, or 7
The second number will usually be 4, 6, or 12
The third number will usually be 9, 15, 21, or 24
The fourth number will usually be 15,18, or 25
The fifth number will usually be 24, 25, or 26

Trophies
Although the Neopian Lottery does not have a traditional scoring system, trophies are awarded for the amount of NP that you win.
A golden trophy will be awarded for winning 1,000,000 NP or more, a silver trophy for at least 500,000 NP, and a bronze for less than 500,000 NP.
Even though the jackpot will commonly exceed 1,000,000 NP, multiple people generally win the lottery every day, meaning that you probably will not receive that amount of NP as your winnings.
Avatar
If you win the lottery, you will be awarded with an avatar. All you need to do to receive it once you win is to visit the page with past winners. However, simply winning the lottery does not guarantee that you will get the avatar. You must be first on the list of winners.
