If you want to be succesfull with your lottery you need to understand that publicity  is everything , the more you advertise the more people will buy tickets , the bigger the prize the more money you’ll make. In real life everyone and i mean everyone tries his luck at least once in a lifetime, havn’t you ever dreamed to win a huge prize and go somewhere, or buy expensive things ? It’s the same thing in Anno .
