Where does the bug appear: server When did the bug appear: Today Describe the bug: Well, it says that there are 20 out of 1000 tickets bought for a win pot of 225k, but if you'd calculate it yourself, it would be 300k. Don't know if it's just me forgetting something, but it definitely seems wrong to me. If so, correct me. Frequency: rare (not really sure, this is like the first time in a while using lottery) Severity: minor Steps to reproduce: Pretty straight forward, just buy tickets and make sure someone else does that too. then calculate the value yourself and check if it is equal to the value in the win pot.
After contacting another Staff Member too, it looks like this is intentional and not a bug. Consider it ''cash burn'', lottery taxes or whatever (as how it is in real life).
If you buy 10 tickets of $15.000 yourself (only you) then the sum will be 10*15, which is $150.000. You will take all the money back. However if more people join then it won't be exactly the sum of tickets purchased * $15.000, but a bit lower than that (taxes).
I hope this makes it clear. Thanks for pointing out though, it makes sense why you were unsure of it.
