    One million dollars. A couple just starting out living in a ruin of a house , I like to take the big places and tear them down for a couple to be able to afford & yes that means lots of walls are missing, they had just started jobs two days before. I sold two more pieces of wall to go with the money they had so that they both could get a ticket - the husbands ticket won - ONE MILLION DOLLARS !! That is a stupid lot of money and has me changing the story line in my head for them. Fun , fun , fun.

      Cool. What does the notification box say? Every time I've played, I've lost. I was starting to think winning was impossible.

      I've had other sims play but they didn't win anything so I was REALLY surprised when I had won so much , I had to read the number twice just to make sure it was real.

      It's a holiday that happens every so often once a year.

      That's really insane! I can't seem to get a win in the lottery for my household!

      @elanorbreton To play the lottery you must first wait for Lottery Day then choose "buy ticket" on the phone. Tickets are not cheap (around 100-200 simoleons).


      I mentioned it on another thread that a townie won my one and only lottery so far so I moved them in and got rid!

      That’s so cool! My sims haven’t even got to play the lottery yet. However, they did manage to become overnight billionaires in a different way. They bought a money tree in the rewards store, and I discovered that if you put a ready to harvest money tree in your family inventory you get 5 money tree seeds. So, I’ve been “farming” money trees and now have 36 of them and can harvest between 8000 and 11,550 simoleons from each tree daily. So, they’ve got over 2.7 billion simoleons at this point.

      I can’t help but think I should have gotten the lottery event by now. I know it’s a surprise holiday, but I’ve played through at least 4 cycles of the seasons without once encountering it.

      @MaggieMarley - I haven't played through even a full year of Seasons yet, but from the posts I've read, I'm getting the impression that the hidden holidays may be randomly generated (probably within the relevant season, though). Anyone else know? Might there be a range of RNG'd holidays each year, so that one year you get 2, and the next year you get 4, the following year one?

      The other speculation I saw was that custom holidays could over-ride a scheduled hidden holiday, but again, this is all speculation...so far! :smile:

      Thanks Tiarella. I got that impression too. But, it’s weird that I have never gotten the lottery (or maybe not, if it’s rarer than the other special holidays?).

      @MaggieMarley
      How long do you have your seasons set? I had mine set to 14 days and I got the lottery twice in one year

      Default setting, 7 days. Dang, twice in one year. I’m jealous! Anyone else not got it at all?

      I'm guessing you'll have more chance of lottery day if you set seasons length to the max, like I have.

      Did the townie suffer an unfortunate pool accident afterwards? >:)

      Really? How come? Does it only happen in one certain season?

      @MaggieMarley I don't know about it occurring during a certain season since I've not yet played through all four seasons (it happened in early fall in my game though).

      I'm just guessing that by setting seasons to the max length, you'll have more days in your calendar so you will see more surprise holidays per year, if that makes sense.

      Oh I see. You mean the probability of the lottery happening in a year with longer seasons will be higher. Yeah, that is true. I was thinking that the probability of the lottery happening at all, not in a given year.
