Mafia Wars Strategy Guide: Lotto

This is a part of my Mafia Wars strategy guide, which I have broken up into several mini guides for easier browsing. Be sure to check out my other guides for Mafia Wars. I play this game on Facebook but most of the strategies work the same on other platforms, such as MySpace.

LOTTO

Lotto is one of the newest additions to the game, one which the creators are still working on. It can be found under the Godfather menu. The virtual lottery runs for approximately 7 days, at which time five numbers are drawn and, if any of your lottery tickets contain at least one of the numbers drawn, you earn prizes including Godfather reward points, loot and other rare items. Each day you play Mafia Wars, you are given one lottery ticket and more tickets may be purchased with Godfather reward points. Each ticket earned each day needs to be used within 24 hours or it is lost. For each ticket, you choose five numbers from 1-70 or have the program automatically choose random numbers for you. I have chosen the numbers manually and automatically without much of a difference in what I won. With the low-level items given as prizes and the odds of winning anything at all being so improbable, it probably is not worth buying extra tickets.

When choosing numbers to play, be sure that each number chosen is unique for the best chance to win the most prizes.
