Just to remind everyone of the rules, and to put them all in one place, here they are:
The XKI Casino offers two separate weekly lottery games called the ”GUARANTEED WIN” game and the “BIG DRAW” game. The winning numbers in each game are determined by the drawings held in the California (CA) Lottery every Friday evening. All weekly XKI Lottery tickets must be purchased by Friday, 6:00 p.m. Forum Time. Tickets purchased after that time will be applied to the next drawing.
To play, you simply choose the lottery numbers you want in each game and post them, then send your payment (donation) to the XKI Casino. If your numbers match (or are close to matching) those drawn in California on Friday night, you win. Simple. Right?
Here is how each lottery game is played:
GUARANTEED WIN (GW) – Cost: 50 Tacos per ticket
• For each GW ticket you want to buy, choose any number consisting of 3 digits from 000 to 999, inclusive.
• The winning number is that drawn by the California (CA) Lottery in its “Pick 3” game each Friday night.
• The three GW tickets that match, or come the closest to matching the number drawn in California win the following amounts:
** A ticket that exactly matches the CA number drawn wins 1000 Tacos.
** The ticket that comes the closest to matching the CA number drawn wins 75% of all the Tacos bet in the GW.
** The ticket that comes 2nd closest to matching the CA number drawn wins 20% of all the Tacos bet in the GW.
** The ticket that comes 3rd closest to matching the CA number drawn wins 5% of all the Tacos bet in the GW.
• In the event of ties among winning tickets, the winning amount shall be split equally among the tied winners, except that each ticket with the exact matching number will still each receive 1000 Tacos.
• A really Taco-rich Islander could buy every GW number, thus guaranteeing they would win all three prizes and collect the 1000 Taco bonus. Therefore, individual purchases of GW tickets are limited to 50 for each drawing (2,500 Tacos total).
BIG DRAW (BD) – Cost: 15 Tacos per ticket
• For each BD ticket you want to buy, choose any number consisting of 4 digits from 0000 to 9999, inclusive.
• The winning number is that drawn by the CA Lottery in its “Pick 4” game each Friday evening.
• The holder of a BD ticket whose number exactly matches that drawn in CA wins the amount of Tacos in the BD “Jackpot”.
• The following tickets also win the following amounts:
** 2 numbers correct (correct number and placement) - 100 tacos
** 3 numbers correct (correct number and placement) - 1000 tacos
** 4 numbers correct, but in wrong order - 3000 tacos
(If the "Jackpot" is not won, 10,000 tacos will be added to it for the following week.)
• A really Taco-rich Islander could buy every BD number, thus guaranteeing they would win the Jackpot. Therefore, individual purchases of BD tickets are limited to 500 for each drawing (7,500 Tacos total).
THREE-TIME FREE PLAY - For Islanders with less than 15,000 Tacos in their tacos & bank accounts
To encourage new Islanders to sign up on the forums, and some of our current Taco-poor residents to become more active, the XKI Casino offers up to a three-time free play in both the GW and BD.
Anyone registered in the forum who has less than 15,000 Tacos in their personal combined Taco & Bank Accounts may post 10 GW numbers and 15 BD numbers for free. This is a 725 Taco value which will NOT be applied in determining the total payouts to be made in the GW & BD pots. This free play offer is not available once an Islander's combined accounts reaches or exceeds 15,000 Tacos.
TACO TUESDAY - Get 2,000 Tacos' worth of lottery tickets + a 2,000-Taco bonus!
Every Tuesday, the first three Islanders to choose lottery tickets will receive their tickets free of charge, along with a 2,000-Taco gift for participating in Taco Tuesday. The following restrictions apply:
• Each Islander may only participate in one Taco Tuesday per calendar month.
• Islanders must not have had any tickets in play as of the last drawing before Taco Tuesday to qualify.
• Lottery tickets which may be claimed on Taco Tuesday must not cost more than 2,000 Tacos on any other day. However, there are no restrictions on how many of each type of ticket can be included in Taco Tuesday requests, as long as their total value is no more than 2,000 Tacos.
** Islanders are responsible for ensuring that their requested tickets are not worth more than 2,000 Tacos.
AUTO-PLAY ACCOUNTS - Keeping your lottery tickets in play without having to post them over and over
Any Islander is welcome to request that their tickets be played automatically each week by opening an Auto-Play Account. Each account has a balance of Tacos that is used to reenter your tickets into each week's drawing, eliminating the need for you to send in a payment every single week. There are two kinds of account:
• The standard Auto-Play Account keeps your tickets in play and pays out your winnings each week after each drawing. The account balance decreases by the cost of your lottery tickets each week and must be refilled when it falls below the cost of your lottery tickets.
• An Auto-Play Reinvestment Account adds your weekly winnings to its account balance instead of paying them out each week. That way, its balance drops more slowly over time than that of a standard APA. You can also use a Reinvestment Account to keep track of how well you do each week.
All you have to do to open an Auto-Play Account, or to change what type of account it is, is simply to post in this thread to make your wishes known. Make sure to specify how many weeks you want your tickets played automatically, and send a donation to the XKI Casino to cover that many weeks' worth of tickets. The Casino's staff ofunderpaid and overworked highly-qualified accountants will put your request into action as soon as possible. After each Lottery drawing, I will post the updated balances of all APAs and alert any account-holders if their balances fall too low to keep their tickets in play.
HOW TO BUY LOTTERY TICKETS – Two Steps
• To order your tickets, just post your numbers in this thread.
• After you have posted your numbers, please send a donation equal to the total cost of the tickets purchased to the XKI Casino by personal message and clicking on the “Send Donation” link there.
You can find examples of how to post your numbers by simply trolling this thread. However, a sample post is follows:
"I’d like to play these numbers this week.
GW (50 Tacos each):
123 292
456 350
678 547
809 714
971 002
(500 Tacos)
BD (15 Tacos each):
1234 5678 6178
9012 3456 2934
7890 4815 1947
7777 8293 4401
0637 2074 3086
(225 Tacos)
I’m sending my 725 Tacos donation to the XKI Casino.”
*Note: The donation required for this sample purchase would be 725 Tacos – Ten GW tickets @ 50 Tacos each (500) + Fifteen BD tickets @ 15 Tacos each (225).

Well, that’s it. The games are actually easier to play than they are to explain. After a week or two of playing, I’m sure you’ll have the hang of it. But if you have any questions, please feel free to PM me (Lower Columbia).

Especially because they were carefully selected, hand picked numbers. I'll be drowning my sorrow at the pool bar, while considering the Casino Manager's suggestion about playing more numbers.
You can also set up an Auto-Play Account to avoid having to post to keep your tickets in play.
