Credits don’t last very long in Probably Stolen. You spend them on rent, store upgrades, and pretty much everything else your shop needs. So when someone comes along offering a chance to win a million Credits, it’s hard not to give it a shot.
At some point, a Lottery Representative will visit your store and tell you about the Lower Levels Lottery. But before you spend your money on tickets, it’s worth knowing how the whole thing works.
How Does the Lottery Work in Probably Stolen
The Lottery Representative usually visits your store on a Thursday. In my playthrough, this happened on Day 18. He introduces you to the Lower Levels Lottery and explains how to take part. The draw happens every Saturday morning, and you can win anything from 35 Credits to a million.
Each ticket costs 25 Credits and gives you six random numbers between 1 and 49. You can see these numbers on your ticket after buying it. Once Saturday arrives, you can check the newspaper to find out which numbers won. Compare them with your ticket to see if you got lucky.
The prize depends on how many numbers you match:
- 2 numbers: 35 Credits
- 3 numbers: 300 Credits
- 4 numbers: 2,500 Credits
- 5 numbers: 100,000 Credits
- 6 numbers: 1,000,000 Credits
There’s one thing you should know before buying a bunch of tickets. You need to match the numbers on one ticket to win a prize. You can’t take two matching numbers from one ticket and another two from a second ticket to get a four-number prize. Buying more tickets gives you more chances, but each one is checked separately.
Is the Lottery Worth Playing in Probably Stolen?
The lottery gives you a chance to earn some extra Credits, but winning mostly comes down to luck. You need to be very lucky to win a big prize. In my attempts, I only managed to match two numbers, and that was after buying multiple tickets.
I also think 25 Credits per ticket is a bit too much because there’s no guarantee you will win anything. If you have extra money, you can try buying a few tickets. Otherwise, I’d stick to one or two and save the rest of your Credits for something else.
