Interested because, i'm wondering why it always seems to pay out when it's in high 20-30k+ and you never see "Lottery Pot Won: 2,187 Forum Gold" or some random bullshit.

Seems like it's timed or something, can't be random.

The more you spend at once, the bigger the chance you win.
Ofc it is best to play when pot is ~20k fg+

and always buy tickets at the beggining of every hour.

Chances?
