Mini Cactpot

The Mini Cactpot is a daily lottery you can participate in 3 times per earth day (resets every day at 10 AM EST / 7 AM PST / 8 AM PDT). Each ticket costs MGP 10 MGP. Similar to a scratch-off lottery ticket, you'll reveal numbers, and depending on the sum of the numbers the rewards you can obtain will differ.

How to Play

1. Select Numbers

Every ticket has nine spaces with each numbered randomly from one to nine. At the start, however, eight of these nine spaces will be hidden. To begin, select three numbers from the eight hidden on your ticket.

2. Select a Line

Next, select one of eight lines─vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. When selecting a line, the sum of the three numbers in that line will determine the amount of MGP you receive.

3. Receive a Prize

After you have selected a line, all the numbers are uncovered, and you will receive MGP based on the sum of the line you chose.

Jumbo Cactpot

The Jumbo Cactpot is a weekly lottery that you can participate in once every earth week by purchasing a ticket with four numbers you select (each digit is between 0 - 9). You purchase this ticket with MGP 100 Manderville Gold Saucer points, and each week there will be a drawing that takes place in the Manderville Gold Saucer. The more tickets Gold Saucer sells, the bigger the prize will be.

When the winning number is drawn, in order from the last digit to the first, the more matching numbers you have, the greater the prize you'll receive. You win the maximum prize if you get all four numbers. You have up to one week to pick up the prize. There will also be an Early Bird Bonus if you exchange your winning ticket within one hour of the drawing. The exact amounts of the prizes depend on the number of tickets sold server-wide.

The winner of Jumbo Cactpot will not only get MGP but also the Mad bird ring icon1.png  Mad Bird Ring.

In Patch 3.4, players can now purchase up to 3 tickets per week. The 2nd and 3rd tickets cost MGP 150 and MGP 200 MGP, respectively.
