It is run by a [[Bulky Bob-omb]] named [[Lucky]]. In order to win the lottery, the player must first purchase a [[Lottery Pick]] from Lucky. A [[Doogan]] normally hangs out here, cursing his bad luck. The lottery is located in the west side of Rogueport. | ||
At midnight, according to the time on the [[Nintendo GameCube]], a winning number is generated. Adjusting the GameCube's clock forward will allow the player to check their number again. However, changing the clock backwards will have Lucky accuse the player of cheating. If the player admits that they changed the clock, Lucky will have a meltdown and pretend to give a [[Game Over]]. If the player does not admit to cheating through Lucky's dialogue, he will assume this is just a mistake. Regardless of which choices are selected, the lottery will not restart until [[Mario]] pays 500 [[coin]]s | At midnight, according to the time on the [[Nintendo GameCube]], a winning number is generated.

Contrary to popular belief, winning numbers are not truly randomly generated. Instead, the GameCube determines which number to show based on how much time has passed since the purchase of a ticket. Checking within 4-10 days will reward the player with fourth prize, within 25-35 days will reward the player with third prize, within 85-115 days will reward the player with second prize, and within 335-395 days will reward the player with first prize. Checking the board on any other day will result in a randomly-generated, non-winning number and reward the player with the consolation prize. Additionally, buying a new ticket will reset the day count. Daylight Savings Time is not taken into account, as not every region follows it. If the player realizes they forgot to set the GameCube clock back after starting the save file, and they go to change it back an hour, Lucky will still accuse the player of cheating. This can be avoided if the player waits an hour before starting the game. The game stores an internal clock value each time a file is selected, and if the clock is set to below this value, the game will think something is wrong. This also occurs if the player moves their Memory Card to a different system with a lower date than was previously saved.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFJGSiwUSA8 Stryder7x "Happy Lucky Lottery is a Scam"] (Retrieved August 24, 2018)</ref> | Contrary to popular belief, winning numbers are not truly randomly generated.

If Mario's Lottery Pick's four numbers match up exactly with the lottery board, Lucky will get very excited and give Mario a Lottery Pick for free replacing the old one until Mario gets another jackpot. | ||
