Final Fantasy XI plays the moogle lottery

1-2-3-4-5 might not be the combination on your luggage, but it could fetch you a tidy sum of gil or some rare items in Final Fantasy XI in the near future. The third iteration of the Mog Bonanza event is incoming, and those five digits might be the key to riches. Or to irritation at having thrown money away on a ridiculous gamble. Starting on December 24th, all characters who have been in existence for at least 45 days may purchase a Mog Bonanza marble, which then is inscribed with five digits of the player's choice. On January 29th, 2010, a set of winning numbers will be chosen.

Of course, you might argue that your odds of getting exactly the right five numbers are rather low (1 in 100,000 or so), which is true. But luckily for everyone involved, it's easier to win than matching the whole number. The best prizes go to those who match all five numbers, but even if just the last digit of your chosen numbers match the picked numbers, you win a reward. Your odds of that are about 1 in 10, which isn't a bad deal. For the full rules and the details of the rewards, take a look at the official page, and start dreaming of high-powered artifacts and buckets of gil in Final Fantasy XI. (We recommend 8-1-5-1-6, if you're so inclined.)

square-enix must be losing/bleeding a lot of subs to drag this out again a full 7 months before its yearly iteration in may. only reason they ever have the mog bonanza lottery is so people add more sub accounts for $1 each and hold on to it for more than a month in hopes against incredible odds. all the while refilling square-enix's coffers. it wont work though. ffxi will keep losing subs no matter what with aion out now and ff14 just around the corner and square-enix lackluster updates for ffxi.

Except that FFXI isn't losing subs.
