Z-Lotto Getting To The Root

I have posted about the Z-Lotto glitch...
It still works for me but somehow it is so hard to win any prize from this feature..

Graciano has sent me email two days ago about this.. Please check it here..
I did try the glitch you posted, and seems to work. However inspecting the pop-in I found that BEFORE any scratching there was an HTML code difining the background as...

Here is the image..


WTF! So i thought i had already lost without trying. All my 30 tabs (2 tickets on each), I lose. Maybe just the odds. Then i found the flash of the scratcher:

Can be played from outside! This shows that no matter how many times you try, you seems to always lose, and lose... I've decompiled the SWF file and there is a part of the code really interesting:

So seems like it DOES run a random fuction to see if we'll win or not, Zynga is not really cheating, however things can change according to where you click...
They didn't said how long this will last, but I'll keep test and reply to you with more info if you want (and i find out any new)..

Ouch, this email explaining my disappointed of being lose most of time!
However, some of our friends are lucky enough to get all the four sets of Mafia Wars prizes..

And here they are!


Now, there is no reason for us to play the Z-Lotto anymore... except if you want to get the prizes from another Zynga's games!
For the one who has little luck, you can still play and try to win your free items...
I wish you all a very good luck!


PS : Special thanks to Graciano and also Haider for the kind info and help...

Hi Graciano, thanks for the info. But it is WRONG!

It is not random. Open the flash file independently and put "?tier=1" in the URL. You will win the said tier, try tier=2 and tier=3 as well.

It is already rigged. The postback gives the winning tier as parameter to the Flash URL. Even if you change the tier, you still cannot win since there is a hash code embedded that comes from the server for wins.

i have won all of these. one trick i have learned is that each tier has a choice of 3 predetermined spots. (as far as i know) tier 4 has only appeared in the top, right hand corner, right below that, and left of it.
also, there will never be a prize in the bottom row. so now instead of 1:9 it is 1:6.
