Happy Lucky Lottery is a Scam

- Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door reminds us to always be skeptical of gambling, lotteries, lootboxes, and the like. Happy Lucky Lottery is not random, despite popular belief throughout the game's 14-year lifespan.
Earlier this month I posted a tweet where I missed the lottery by one single digit. Sure enough, Jdaster64 informed me I was guaranteed to lose that day anyway, because "Happy Lucky Lottery is a total fraud." We started exchanging some messages, and he provided a number of memory addresses and cleared up misconceptions about the lottery system, which immensely helped during testing and the recording of this video.
I misspoke in this video when saying there’s a 1/10,000 chance of seeing a daily number 1 digit off your own. This was intended to convey the chance of winning a truly random Happy Lucky Lottery, but based on my wording, it’d actually be a 1/5,000 chance if the lottery were truly random.
Important detail from PistonMiner:
"The speed of the time base counter is, as far as I know, not, as you describe in the video, related to the original CPU clock of the Gekko, but is, according to the official design documents by IBM, quote: "clocked at a frequency that is one-fourth that of the bus clock" (162 MHz / 4 = 40.5 MHz). (see datasheets.chipdb.org/IBM/Powe... for the full reference, this is in section 2.3.5.1)"

Great stuff; the world must know how un-happy and un-lucky the Lottery really is.
As an aside, I'd be interested in knowing what happens if the in-game timer were to roll over mid-play session, but sadly, I don't have the 14,333 years of patience (after setting the system time to 2099-12-31, naturally) to test that empirically.
jdaster64 Wh- Bu- This video was just posted. Why does it say 15 hours ago?
How did you comment 15 hours ago???
Since he helped work on this, I gave him access to it when it was uploaded last night
Not sure how but in theory it's possible. When you hack the GameCube Clock Value in TTYD, it instantly jumps back to the GameCube system time. So you'd have to hack system time directly
Ayyy you're back!
There's some concerning implications when toadette bursts into tears because she can't gamble...

Says the guy running a *scam lottery* .
Well, as you said, it’s a scam. Therefore, he would absolutely say that to tie into the scam.
Maybe it was actually advice.
awesomestgamerboy Yeah, maybe it’s reverse psychology
I wanted him to do something *_deadly_*
This is outrageous. It's unfair
I still can't get over how Lucky tries to guilt trip you with child gambling.
It’s the funniest thing
Nintendo did stuff like this A Lot back then. It's kind of baffling how things like this - or worse, Mr. Resetti - actually made it out the door at some point.

To be honest, even if it was a scam, I still think Lucky's breakdown when you cheat could be terrifying to a kid not knowing what could happen.
DreamLandBuds it has strong creepypasta vibes
reminds me of Mr Resetti
It was very unsettling to me just as some random stoned 25 year old who's never played this game
Basically DDLC 0.5
Not only would it have terrified me as a kid, but it would also cause me to cry for hours and never want to touch the game again.
I might be being way too serious here, but honestly, I don't like this kind of stuff in video games. As someone who was a very sensitive, fearful child that cried at the drop of a hat, I find this sort of thing...cruel and vindictive. Obviously, kids need to be taught not to do certain things, and sometimes they need to experience the consequences of their actions, but...this just seems unnecessary to me.
the fact did Nintendo thought making the happy lucky lottery a scam like real lotteries was a good idea
Caelin Bevan i mean compared to 1 in 10000 it is pretty fair
Real lotteries are truly random
@@zacharymogel9087 yeah, but you know, wait a year to get a price always is way better than a 1 in 10 million possibility. In real life one person can win, but even if you play everyday in your entire life there's a great chance that you will never get the jackpot.
@@clokie6671 You could make it so that one digit is always the same as tge actual number, randomize the placement, and then randomize the other 3 digits. 1 in 100 should be doable while also being random

Vivian is probably used to it by now.
@@boomkittyFX Used to what, exactly? Not being able to trust people? I thought that's why she's one of Mario's party members?
@@shawnfields2369 verbal beat downs. Her eldest sister was an awful person to her but was nice to the one who couldn’t speak.
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 Yeah, I remember. Beldam was always nice to Marilyn, but not Vivian, which is why she went and joined Mario's party, and helped beat up her sisters, at least until the end of the game, where everyone is messaging Mario about how they're doing, since Mario and his friends defeated the Shadow Queen, and Goombella mentions that Vivian and her sisters are getting along well, and that they're actually acting like a family, and are treating each other nicely. Which I didn't expect, since Beldam was the one who basically lead Grodus to the Shadow Queen's grave so he could bring her back, using Princess Peach's body as a sacrifice(holy crap, that might be the darkest plot in a Paper Mario game I've ever heard), and even though it looks like she killed Grodus, even after he gets zapped by the Shadow Queen, he's still alive, he's just a hopping metal head thingy now. And the computer that was in love with the Princess, is also brought back; and the X-Nauts stop being evil, and Vivian and her sisters agree to act like a family, and for some reason, every female friend of Mario's reveal that they were in love with Mario(probably because ladies love the 'stache, am I right?), but damn, this game might have the best plot of any Mario game ever. Also the darkest. Super Paper Mario is also a contender, but this game came out first, although I won't lie, SPM's plot does have just as good characters, plot, gameplay, character development, and villain backstory, like Mr. L, Dimentio, Count Bleck, Mimi(the creepy spider girl), and even a good reason for Dimentio to betray Bleck after it's over, and he becomes Super Dimentio. It's more of a traditional Mario RPG, but it works. Plus, you team up with Bowser, Peach, and Luigi! For almost the whole adventure. And when your companion sacrifices herself at the end, well, I'll admit, I may have shed a tear or 2. But why can't Paper Mario games just be as good as The Thousand-Year-Door or Super Paper Mario? I mean, if you liked the other Paper Mario games, that's perfectly fine, I'm only saying, I just think more people wanted an experience like the first 3 Paper Mario games is all. Sorry this has been going on so long, by the way.
People are going to have a hard time playing on their Game Cubes in the 22nd century.
No they won't, just set the time to 2050
There's most likely already a patch today you could use to manually allow yourself to change the GC clock past any year dude.
@@colleenflattery4755 no it goes higher but you can't manually change it to do that. If you I don't know watched the video you'd see that it does that.

> Game is called "Thousand Year Door"
> Can't play it for 1000 years without being called a cheater
that’s called cheating death
@@rocketdog734 Just because I'm cheating death doesn't mean I'm cheating TTYD.
Next video: _Cheating Paper Mario for 1,000 Years Is Okay._
Yes you can. Stryder calculates a 100 year distance (from 2000 to 2099) as about 128 quadrillion. So 1000 years would only be about 1.28 quintillion. And he lists the maximum values in a signed 64-bit integer as over 9 quintillion. So the value is perfectly in range. It wouldn't roll over to a negative for 7000 years or so (if my math is correct).
it apparently takes 1000 years to open a door.
how slow would someone have to be to be able to do that
Not only did Nintendo intentionally make this lottery a scam, but they actually thought ahead and knew that people would get around it using the internal clock, so they decided to punish them for doing so.
This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I’ve ever seen in a Mario game.
Imagine doing something like this in GameCube Animal Crossing, we would’ve all been screwed.
@@malevolentsnow9867 Isn't that what Resetti is?
@@bluishwolf woosh
If how Nintendo is now is indicative of how it was back then then it's not that bizarre
This reminds me of something similar in Yokai watch. If the game detects you screwed around with the system clock, it increases the chances of a brutally powerful boss spawning in. There’s just one flaw: half the time, the reason you were messing with the clock will be in an area that he can’t spawn, and the other half you’re specifically doing it so you can fight him, all the while chances are only increased, and is still rng based if he spawns or not. And the final problem: you are still entirely capable of sneaking away from the boss for no penalty, and you can get rare items while doing so.
Which boss are you talking about again? I can think of two or three different bosses you might be talking about and I want to ensure I don't get it wrong.
@@matthewsanii4919 any of the terror time oni.
To make things worse, sometimes it’s not even your fault, as if the 3DS runs out of battery, the clock resets, activating the anti cheat all because you left your 3DS on for too long without charging it
I think they fixed this in YKW2 and onward by disabling the Crack-a-Kai. But man I feel bad for those people that do daylight savings that play YKW (especially when Daylight Savings ends)
@@epicwappy20amn that sucks. I'm betting the YKW games on Switch (YKW4 & YKW1 for Nintendo Switch) removed the anti-cheat, since the switch has an automatic daylight savings change. But man i feel bad for the people that play YKW 1 - 3 and/or Busters on the 3DS that try to play through the game for hours.
Honestly, I kinda feel like the Happy Lucky Lottery being designed in such a way is actually kinda fitting, considering it's located in Rogueport, a town notorious for its thieves and pickpockets. Having a cheater manning the Lottery where he knows exactly how many days it'll be until you win, scamming you into buying more expensive tickets if you feel unsure about your current one just to reset the prize days, and then when you cheat the system, he guilt trips YOU and makes you buy a new ticket for a crazy price? That sounds exactly like something a lot of Rogueport's residents would do, lol.
Yeah, I'm very convinced that happy lucky lottery is a front for Don Pianta. That Bob-omb is up to some shady business.

Graham Merph "What? The Lottery? UNFAIR?! I would never do that!"
-A cheating bob-omb
So much effort was put into half-assed anti-cheating detection and a dramatic cutscene, but none into actually making a legit lottery.
Considering lotteries are scams by themselves, I would say they actually put a lot of effort in it...
not really half-assed if they put effort into it, is it?
It wasn’t much effort at all. It’s just a simple software installed to read programming numbers and to behave accordingly to the dictates of the ranges of those numbers.
It just seems complicated because programming is tricky to explain to laymen.
@@itsjjstyles Yea well effort doesn't always equate to quality. The anti-cheat system must have got set off on countless people simply because their country turned its clocks back an hour...
@@taleladar effort doesnt have to equal quality
this is more like nintendo SCREAMING AT YOU to just not gamble

That’s rich considering Nintendo made Hanafunda cards way back when. Ya know. A card game with gambling?
@Crystal Kanashii something something something minimalistic satisfaction conditioning
Solura don’t forget that the first few Generations of Pokémon had gambling.
@@GODOFAWSOMENESS1 last one I know is Pokemon heart gold and soul silver it isn't slots but is a different gambling game where you pay your in game money for bull shot chance's of winning and when u do u don't get shit
In way, the lottery being a scam makes sense. You are playing said lottery in a place called 'Rogueport'. A place where almost everyone has some form of shady dealings going on and likely wouldn't think twice about cheating people out of their money in one way or another.
So it's all in character? Interesting
Yes, that's pretty much what I'm saying. XD
...Wow, that actually makes a lot of sense. Never thought of it like that, I just assumed that Lucky was being a jerk for the laughs. I mean, I guess that explains why he's literally just a recolor of an already existing enemy.
Except the fact that the lottery working in this way actually gives you an increased chance of winning, so it's actually a generous thing
Only in time... and there's no real way of knowing this without testing the system extensively yourself or, as shown in this video, pretty much looking into what's going on behind the scenes in the game with the lottery.
Thats some sweet 4k dolphin footage
TwisterSanity If nintendo actually makes that happen I will lose my mind!

@@Swordsoulreaver it literally shows that in the video
Did they really think people would check the game every day for an entire year just so they get a badge?
And in the same file where you can do everything in a month tops if you aren't playing it constantly? What's the point?

Woo! I thought I'd see you here
Let me get this straight. They put a minigame thing in that requires you to play a single player casual RPG for almost a year to get the most useful item. They presented it as if it was random chance, not even letting you know you literally have to do a "daily login" for almost a year to win first prize. It's only possible to find out how it works through hacking. They then put in some kind of punishment for circumventing this ridiculous thing?
What the fuck devs.
I mean, by modern standards this is par for the course, it's just really bloody weird that Nintendo of all people was doing this so many years ahead, and without having a pay 2 win method of circumventing it.
Kinda justifies just hacking both badges in.
That's what I did
It is just one way to get the badges, theyre available in other easier ways in the game
@@A.B.I.MA. ah, I what I understood from the video was that Lucky Day and Power Plus were only available here, but rewatching I see that they are only available here ONCE.

You better believe it.
And it's the exact opposite for knowledge that will help us in our everyday lives.
I found that statistics was one of the most useful classes I ever took.
So, by proxy, understanding how gambling and gambling scams work is helpful, especially since it's one of the most lucrative (and therefore prolific) rackets in the world.
It also made me a much better equities trader, since probabilities are the difference between stacking wins vs. stacking losses.

@@marymurphy1429 I mean this is the same game that has intensely creepy music at the Creepy Steeple, so yeah probably not the best game for sensitive children.
When I was kid my family and I went on a week long trip to Disney world. What they failed to say until we got back was my little cousins were at our house while we were gone.
Pokemon cards were scattered throughout my room, my Bionicles were in a million pieces, etc...then came the GameCube.
The internal clock was changed to 2071, save data was corrupted in several games, they manually went through and erased every save state in a couple games, etc.
However with paper Mario I experienced the bomb omb asking me if I cheated. Genuinely confused why this was happening I assumed it was something RNG related I didn't know about and denied doing it since I quite literally didn't, then coughed up the 500 coins not knowing how to fix it.
All these years it mystified me how that ever occurred and now I finally know.

👌
Hi Swanky! I watch your channel. Also, back when I was addicted to Animal Crossing new leaf, I would just do everything I could do on that day, then I would quit and advance the time by one day at about 10 in the morning and keep playing. It was a real addiction there for a while though, the only addiction I can honestly say I had. I can play Animal Crossing responsibly now though. ;)
Nevermind the lottery system, am I the only one impressed by how they included all that dialogue just in case someone figured out the system and manipulated the clock? Thats some serious dedication to your game.
Impressed, no. It's lazy programming, it was like "Hey dis bitch has a clock, let's use the clock."
"Yeah but it's not an atomic clock bro, they could just change the date."
"Just frighten the bejesus out of em if they try, I already came up with one whole idea on how the lottery could work, we can't go back to the drawing board now!"
I did! You have to encode a specific way to get it in.
Not really. Just save an 64-bit integer that tells the time on save, then check that compared to the current time when you talk to the NPC.
And I will forever love TTYD for little things like this!
If the current date is before the last ticket bough/read, the game wouldn't know how to handle it
so they had to make something for it anyways to avoid an error or really weird values...
they just decide to punish possible cheaters instead of just reset the values if that happen.

Nah, they're not rigged. They're there to encourage trading with lots of people. The numbers *are* truly random, and since it checks every Pokemon in your PC, the more people you've traded with, the more likely you are to win the good prizes.

THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEND TO ME WITH DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME !! legit I was like 12 I turned my game cube on and went into the menu to see if I had the right mem card in and my mom mentioned I should change the clock, so I did and well...… 500 coins … because I happened to be playing that game next.
I was thinking when he explained that - what about DST?
daylight savings is an American thing, I bet the devs at Nintendo never even heard of such a tradition and never factored that in when making their anti-cheating scene.
@@BigAutisticDaddy it actually started in Britain - so it's a British thing that North America has adopted.
But yes - Japanese developers probably had no reason to assume this would happen.
DST is a European thing too.
Many nations follow DST, but Japan doesn't. It's actually a little weird, because most places that don't are on the equator, but Japan isn't.
To be super pedantic:
In a fair random game, I'm pretty sure the probability of getting a number just one off from your own number is a lot closer to 1 in 5000, not 1 in 9000. This is because for any number you pick, there are two numbers that are one off from your number putting the probability at 2/9999 or pretty much 5000. Unless you got 0001 or 9999, but the probability of getting either of those AND getting one off from either of them is negligibly small--- 2*(1/9999)*(1/9999) or about 1 in 50 million.
6:02 I remember this scared my friend when he set the clock back for Daylight Saving Time, lol
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS IS FOR NOOBS

A lottery is a scam? Wow, whod've guessed
Real life lottery is at least well regulated.
6:29 I love how Vivian is just completely calm during the bomb's mental breakdown.
Wait, really?
So does that mean for almost a year after the game's release, *no one knew what the first prize was* besides the dev team and anyone with inside knowledge?
Also if anyone is curious, if you continue to lie about changing the clock, the next day Lucky will discover anyways thanks to the nearby Doogan.
You step into a town with a name like Rogueport and a grifter can't even have respect for another grift. I tell you kids these days
He’s still alive
6:20 Happy Lucky Lottery is being peddling to *children* ?
...yes..........IT SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOREVER
So if you're playing this game naturally (not going for specific accomplishments like speed-runs, etc.), it's going to take you about a year to have a chance of winning top prize.
Unless you're the Game Grumps, you've got no chance.

OK not really, but Lucky threatens to do so. Honestly an immense overreaction if you ask me.

it only realizes when you change it back tho

@@miniwoona402: but the game never realizes that changing it forward is illegal so, not woosh

Holy crap, that random bomb dialogue just solidifies how awesome TTYD really is.
I remember seeing it as a kid and being pretty damn terrified. TTYD is truly a gem.
TTYD is decent, but I'm sure there are more and better textboxes in this game
Best game of all time
I 100% the game back in the day and had no idea that dialogue existed how cool. Love these videos.

Mario:oooooowowowow!!!
Vivian:this is fine.
The message when you admit to cheating reminded me of Giygas from Earthbound
Why, just why.
If the GCN clock were to overflow from 2099 to 2000, things wouldn’t go well for the lottery.
Y2K for Happy Lucky Lottery?
The clocked can go very far past 2099, but you can't MANUALLY set the clock past that time. There is no possible way to actually get an overflow without hacking. The clock can go all the up to the year 22592, but you can all set it to 2099. Meaning that you will have to wait at least 20,592 years to get an overflow.
Waiting 20,592 years crashes Paper Mario
I love the characters being asleep when the science-y bits come up. It's great to have relaxing and non-obtrusive scenery while the important stuff gets explained, and it's a good joke worth repeating.
The "fourth to first, right to left" thing always baffled me. They still do that for Pokemon Pearl's Lotto as well, and to this day, I still think of it as just another way to screw me over.
Now that I think about it, maybe it has to do with the game being from Japan.
That's in EA's words:
"SuRpRiSe MeChAnIcS"
So I finally know why I was accused of cheating at this lottery game which I was only mildly interested in. I had absolutely no idea what he was going on about a 'clock' for, because I didn't realize he was talking about the Gamecube Clock, so of course I said I hadn't done anything even though Lucky was guilt tripping me and the game was strongly suggesting I had somehow done this.
I don''t think I will ever remember the exact circumstances this happened under, beyond having just discovered the Game Cube clock and messing with it because I could. But like everyone is saying, Lucky, you're literally about to blow up at us for cheating when your lottery is rigged in such a way that we could even do this, and yet *WE'RE* the cheaters and if we were to own up to it(Even if we don't know what we actually did or that it was cheating) you will claim you can *Never Trust Another Person* and no matter what we now have to pay 500 coins to start things up again for everyone ..............................................................................................................
*Only in Rougeport, people.*
When you go back, the game becomes Happy Lucky Literature club
i'm choking SDSDS
Haha
I was thinking that too
Why is the bomb so pissed off anyway? It’s supposed to be determined by random chance, so why would they be so upset you changed the time? They’re just exposing their fraudulent business practices
Like what was said in the video, the game can't check if you manually went forward in time or not. Yet it can check if you went backwards. Seeing as you get a new roll every day for a ""random"" number it means it could check to see if you manually tried to change the clock for a new roll.
Though yeah now we know what *really* happens.. Turning the clock back isn't needed at all.

Wait does this mean that if you want to 100% the game, you have to get the power plus from HLL since it’s a unique instance of the badge?
Yup
@@leocarrascomoreschi6147 best to pretend that badge doesnt exist.
@@chaosinc.382 That's what I do. You don't even need the Power Plus badge to beat the game. It's not worth your time to try and get it. Even if you love this game, that badge is just probably not even worth it. Neither is the pit of 100 trials, but at least the people there don't have an existential crisis if can't beat the pit of 100 trials. Even though that's just more tacked on bs to one of the best GCN games ever made. But why try and 100% this game anyways? It doesn't get you anything, and it's not satisfying or rewarding. It's just, nothing. And I love TTYD. But there's no reason to 100% It. Unless you're secretly The Completionist, and want a glorious beard like his or something?
Guess my plan to fast forward a thousand years to bypass the thousand year door won't work... 🤔

Let's just hope whoever does that has a surge protector.
And a backup power supply.
That thing about daylight savings time really bothered me a lot when I used to adjust the time on my 3DS. Even if I waited roughly a day, I'd get scolded by every single game that used the clock in some way and then would have to wait several days before they started working again. At least that's how I remember it, the last year or two I stopped doing that because it just gets in the way.
Eewww that that bulbasaur and mudkip combination.
@@Dougy heh, yeah usually when people comment on it they either say it's ugly or adorable.
I have been saying its ugly for months. You may not remember me lol
This is due to how the RTC (real-time clock) on the 3DS works. The actual time value doesn't matter, and is probably at some point in the 1970s or so on an unmodified system (no joke). Changing the time in initial system setup or in System Settings just changes an offset from the internal RTC time value. Games can easily detect changes to this offset and refuse to let you do daily things for however long until they've gotten over how Nintendo didn't include a DST flag in the Date/Time settings.
Through homebrew, you can change the internal RTC time value directly to avoid being penalized since the offset stays the same.
Thanks, that explains it.
i find it amazing that your videos can be wildly interesting and simultaneously soothing enough to fall asleep to
i like how as hes freaking out and mario is panicking vivian is just smiling as if nothing is wrong.

Start your save on date at lest a year before the actual date irl...you will only need to advance no need to rewind time...no angry bomb just happy lucky bomb 💣
But you would have to rewind to a year before the actual year meaning he would still get angry

Lucky: *loads gun* "THIS IS IT, MARIO!"
I suspected as much when I replayed the game 2 years ago. When I played it initially as a kid, I thought it was a random draw and that I was just unlucky, I was so happy when I won 3rd prize which was a massive deal. But playing the game in my adulthood, I wondered about how this worked and so I messed with the clock, I skipped ahead 1 day until I had won all prizes.
That’s what got me interested, I did the same but logged the exact day count I won and I quickly realized that the days I won were within 5-10 days of each other and they line up perfectly with the range you displayed, it was then that I was reliably predicting the days I’d win in a save by jumping ahead and that’s when I realized this lottery was entirely scripted and you would never win before your preselected win date, very fascinating information and you definitely confirmed my suspicions more solidly than my guess and check method!
Game: "Wait did you change the clock on me?", Player "Nope all is normal" , Game: "Are you sure I swear the time changed and time normally doesn't go backwards", Player "I don't know what your talking about game *snicker snicker*"
As a man who studies combinatorics, we can count how many permutations and the probability.
So, we know that we are working with digits 0-9 which are a cardinality of 10.
In a four digit number like this,
_ _ _ _
We are allowed repetition of numbers. So, digit 1 can be 0-9 meaning we have a choice of 10 digits.
Same for digit 2, digit 3 and digit 4.
So to find the total permutations of all the numbers that can be formed, we can multiply, 10•10•10•10=10,000.
That's how many 4 digit numbers there are from 0000 to 9999.
(Of course, not that hard to see since 9999 ends and we have 0000 as 10,000 but you know how to calculate it if say, you want a set amount of spaces using say alphabet letters)
So, for the probability, we can see our card never changes and the rng() who'll generate a new number each day, we see our chances of winning are 1/10,000.
Dang sorry: edit 1:44 he says there's a 1/10,000 chance. And I can see it's actually rigged? It decides when your price is???
See, I like these calculations I did it right from the start
