    Mog Math

    Since I don't feel digging though a 27 page thread which is mostly about RMT and lotto anyways:

    Assumption: Player takes the gil price.

    mog bonanza ticket = 1k.

    p_rank_1 = 1/100 000, p_rank_2 = 1/10 000, ...
    gil_rank_1 = 100 000 000, gil_rank_2 = 10 000 000, ...

    expected gil value = sum_i(p_rank_i * gil_rank_i) - ticket price
    = 4 * 1000 - 1000
    = 3k.

    10 tickets for a character = 30k gil per character statistically.

    Actually, the probabilities aren't quite right.

    P (match all 5) = 1/100000
    P (match last 4) = 1/10000
    P (match last 3) = 1/1000
    P (match last 2) = 1/100

    P (Rank 1 prize) = P (match last 5) = 1/100000
    P (Rank 2 prize) = P (match last 4 but not the first) = 1/10000 - 1/100000 = 9/100000
    P (Rank 3 prize) = P (match last 3 but not the first 2) = 1/1000 - 1/10000 = 9/10000
    P (Rank 4 prize) = P (match last 2 but not the first 3) = 1/100 - 1/1000 = 9/1000

    So basically this just knocks 300G off of the expected value.
