User blog:Ash-274/Getting multiple items from zLotto

First of all, it appears that Zynga has "fixed" this bug that let you trade winning codes with friends. You can no longer attain multiple items, just one of each. You still can, however, trade codes for items that you don't already have. On the first day of the zLotto program I traded winning codes with friends that play Petville and YoVille so after I won the Bolo Knife I would trade the code for the Turquoise Unicorn and YoHunting Trophy for knife codes. In order for it to work we BOTH had to have the popup screen to redeem a code visible and manually changed the code before submitting.



You can trade with others for an item you don't have yet. If you have already won the Protective Shirt (for example) but you still need the Jackal and a friend has the Jackal already you can enter each others' codes at the redemption screen (inside Mafia Wars, NOT the zLotto page) and you'll both get that item.

Since I play Mafia Wars and Farmville I collected 3 Red Sheep, 4 Bolo Knives, 3 Red Goats, and 1-each of the other items before Zynga took away this feature (apparently late in the second day). I still give out zLotto tickets just for fun and to help others collect items.

Tip: EVERY ticket I played, win or lose, did not have the winning square in the bottom row. I only click the top 6 squares. The odds should be a 50% win/lose ratio, but I only win about 12-20% of the time. It's been said that Zynga's system randomly choses the winning square each time you click, not just per ticket, so that might explain the lower winning percentage.
