How do I set the purchasing of lottery into everyday event in calendar?

I want my Sims to purchase lottery ticket everyday but I don't know how to set it up in the calendar because I could not find the lottery option. How do I do that?

    I think this is a hidden event, you can't delete it and you can't add it more often.

    @crocobaura is correct, this is a hidden event, not something we have control of.

    The lottery event can be cancelled on the calendar before the day of the event. I never let my Sims take part in it because I got tired of newborns winning. Or random Sims that can't be tracked down and only exist in the game's imagination. The only advice can I give is to search for a mod for the lottery event. There are many mod creators out there that have random holiday traditions mods, I use many of them myself, and those add many fun things for your Sims to do on holidays. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/mods this link is to the mods section where they might be able to help you find the lottery tradition. :)

    @bootsguy Here is another link to a mod creator. I use a lot of her holiday traditions, but I don't remember seeing one for the Lottery. Good luck in your search. https://kiarasims4mods.net/traditions/

    I think I had a ghost cat or something win the lottery before. :D

    Haven't had any foxes win the lottery yet though. :p

    Yep that’s exactly what OP needs! Once they download this, they can create a holiday and add the “Purchase Lottery Ticket” tradition.

    I’m still laughing at Sims buying a lotto ticket every single day. I love it.

    So I still need the mod since this is a hidden event?

    @SimplyJen I just downloaded the mod since I can have the freedom to set this event in my Sims calendar. Thank you!

    Indeed a hidden holiday tradition without mods. Get ready to have every other sim rich even the pets but never your own sims. :D

    Only once, as far as I'm aware. Though it's possible that a couple of other households in my rotation won while I was playing a different household, and I just didn't notice the popup. I have definitely come back to a few of my households and found that they had significantly more simoleans than I expected. Could be unnoticed lottery winnings, could be a bug, could be my middle aged memory. Hard to say for sure. :D

    Yes, my first scenario sim won a million dollars, like the second day I created her and played her…. Lol. She still lives in a little lot over the water in Sulani, but she now has nice furniture and can go on vacation whenever she wants….. lol. I don’t use mods, and I often forget to buy a lottery ticket. If you pay attention to who wins the lottery, you might even be able to meet a rich spouse!

    I have never once had a sim of mine win the Lottery. Feels very true to life if I'm honest. :D
