The Lottery

A few times, yes. And if some random unplayed nobody wins, I sometimes look for them in Manage Households and transfer a little something to the account of someone who actually needs it... :p

Two or three times back when I first started playing (2018) but not recently.

I haven’t. I do have a save where the lottery is coming up so fingers crossed! It already happened once in that save and Angela Pleasant won that time.

I've only had a played sim win once, Bobby Builder. Incidentally, he was only going to playtest my builds, so wasn't really going to play him much. I'll say that changed pretty fast.

@Kathykins Nice. That's funny, I have a Babs Builder who playtests builds in my game. Babs gets free money via cheat codes all the time though so that I can build whatever on her lot. She never plays the lottery bc she has a better deal already

None of my played sims have won the lottery but sometimes I add the winner to my game as an NPC.

My Gwen has won once... throw in the Fabulously Wealth aspiration, or whatever it's called, and you never need to worry about money again. I call it her dragon hoard, since she's a witch and more likely to have picked up a fortune that way. As I recall, I was rotated to another household when she won, so it was a bit of a shock.

My Sims have won many times.

Last week Ophelia Nigmos won § 1,000,000 in the lottery right after her boyfriend Johnny Smith moved in. Actually they were struggling with money as both are just YA being on level 2 in their career. Well, money is no longer a problem...

Lucky you! I have never won. I wonder if there is anything that could increase chances. Like, with pregnancy you can eat apple or watermelon to determine the gender of the baby
