This year we continued the Lottery tradition from last year, where you could win MobPoints, MobDraw tickets and MobSafe shots. The way to get tickets to the lottery, would be if you won a prize in the Christmas Calendar that you were unable to use, for one reason or another.

Example: If you won a freeroll entry worth $15 you would get 15 tickets for the lottery if you decided to claim lottery tickets, instead of the actual prize. 

The lottery in 2014 had the following prizes available:

• 2 x 4,000 MobPoints
• 3 x 3,000 MobPoints
• 5 x 2,000 MobPoints
• 15 x 500 MobDraw tickets
• 10 x 100 MobSafe "shots"
• 15 x 50 MobSafe "shots"

And today we ran the "randomizer" and found the winners to the prizes above. Basically, the more tickets you had, the bigger chances of winning.Read more » Christmas Calendar 2014: Lottery Winners
