What's your strategy for winning the lottery and actually getting enough Game Chips to get a good score in the first place?

I'm mostly just clicking to get GGCs and Pokédollar, so that I can do a combination of buying Game Chips and spinning for them. Sometimes I do the coin flip to try to increase the number of Game Chips I can use, and sometimes I just directly buy a Lottery Ticket without trying to get more. Within the next 20 hours or so (before the next lottery) I hope to get enough to guarantee a jackpot win! (I'm actually already halfway there!)

halfway?
There are 850668 different possible tickets you could buy!

850668?
First Pokemon you pick could be one of 42
2nd Pokemon you pick could be one of 41 because one is already picked
3rd ... of 40
...
--> 42*41*40*39*38 different tickets but there are still some doubles like 12345 and 54321
--> (42*41*40*39*38)/(5*4*3*2*1)

I think I misinterpreted the Lottery, then. I thought that you won if your tickets collectively covered the Pokémon in the jackpot. /fail

No, each ticket is separate. I thought it worked your way, too, at first, but then I realized there's no way I could be that lucky... I'm mostly not bothering with the lottery myself(those shiny egg rewards look better, and I know I'll get them if I save up enough), though.

Apologies for the stupid question, but I did today at the Lottery 4/5 right.
So I have gained a Lugia egg and 5000 game chips. Unfortunately, I do not know how I get this egg. I've heard that you get at first a ticket instead of the egg but I have not found it yet. Can anyone help me?

Excuse my bad English!

Misaki, I'd ask about that in Help. It's possible Riako hasn't set up a way to get the egg yet, but it might be a bug.

I just randomly guess Pokemon, and bet on Coin Flip and Higher or Lower.

My strategy? Only get the free card. Don't waste your Game Chips on something you don't know whether you'd win or not.

Pre-calc? More like Algebra 2...

If you only get the free card,then what's the point of using and colleting Game Chips?
It's a Game Corner.You basically risk a portion or all of your chips for several chances to win.

I got only the free card too in the beginning, but now that I buy at least 10 tickets every day, I win every day. About 200-600 normally. Already got over 1000 Chips on a lucky day.

The luckiest I've been was hitting 400 chips for two matches on two tickets out of six.

Kawaii, the point of the chips, for me, is to save up for a shiny Suicune. I'm not going to spend them on something I might not get anything out of...

But you won't really get anywhere if you don't win anything without increasing the chance...
My goal on here is to obtain a Manaphy,shiny or not.And so far,I only have 2k chips.

Sometimes I bet on Higher or Lower, I rarely buy Lottery Tickets though once I bought over 20 and got 600 and some Game Chips. I usually just play at the Golden Slot to see if I can win anymore Chips, so I can save them up for something good. I don't like wasting them. xD
