Cactpot is a lottery system introduced in patch 2.51 as part of Gold Saucer. Players will be able to enter into mini cactpot (daily) and jumbo cactpot (weekly) to win Manderville Gold Saucer Points.

  • Each character can only enter once per entry period.

Unlock

Players must complete the level 15 quests Scratch it Rich and Hitting the Cactpot. Players can start the Hitting the Cactpot by talking to Jumbo Cactpot Broker in Gold Saucer (x8,y5). Players can start the Scratch it Rich by talking to Mini Cactpot Broker in Gold Saucer (x5,y6). Players must have completed It Could Happen to You previously.

Mini Cactpot

The Mini Cactpot is a daily lottery you can participate in once per earth day (resets everyday at 11AM EST / 7AM PST / 8AM PDT). Similar to a scratch-off lottery ticket, you’ll reveal numbers, and depending on the sum of the numbers the rewards you can obtain will differ.

How to Play

1. Select Numbers

Every ticket has nine spaces, each numbered randomly from one to nine. At the start, however, eight of these nine spaces will be hidden. To begin, select three numbers from the eight hidden on your ticket.

2. Select a Line

Next, select one of eight lines─vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. When selecting a line, the sum of the three numbers in that line will determine the amount of MGP you receive.

3. Receive a Prize

After you have selected a line, all the numbers are uncovered and you will receive MGP based on the sum of the line you chose.

Jumbo Cactpot

The Jumbo Cactpot is a weekly lottery that you can participate in once every earth week by purchasing a ticket with four numbers you select (each digit is between 1 - 9). You purchase this ticket with 100 Manderville Gold Saucer points, and each week there will be a drawing that takes place in the Manderville Gold Saucer. The more tickets Gold Saucer sells the bigger the prize will be.

When the winning number is drawn, in order from the last digit to the first, the more matching numbers you have, the greater the prize you’ll receive. You win the maximum prize if you get all 4 numbers. You have up to 1 week to pick up the prize. There will also be an Early Bird Bonus if you exchange your winning ticket within 1 hours of the drawing.
