17.2.3 Aetolian Lotteries
In order to participate in an Aetolian lottery, type LOTTERIES to see
what lotteries you can enter.
If there is one available, you can LOTTERY INFO <lottery #> to get more
information, including the prizes, the ways to buy and the ticket costs.
There can be three different types of ways to buy tickets:
1. You can buy tickets from the person who is running the lottery.
2. If the runner has decided to allow it, you can buy tickets at the
Lottery Office in Delos.
3. And finally, if the runner has enabled it, tickets can be bought at a
ticket box, the location specified in LOTTERY INFO <lottery #>.
The syntax for buying tickets is BUY TICKET IN <lottery #>. To buy more
than one ticket, you can do BUY <amount> TICKETS IN <lottery #>. You want to
buy tickets for someone else? Just do BUY TICKET IN <lottery #> FOR
<person>.
The Lottery Office can be found in Delos.
When the lottery is over, the winning tickets are drawn by the lottery
runner. Gold prizes will have to be claimed with the runner or at the Lottery
Office in Delos.
In case the lottery had alternative prizes (i.e. non gold), these will
have to be claimed at the lottery runner personally.
