LOL You learn something new every day.

Thank goodness it's being run now...I feel better about it (I'm sure others do as well), but knowing something about it would help in the future, IMO.

WTG to winners since they got it running again :D

i'm still curious about this issue.

i know it hasn't been a great deal of time since this thread was started -- even though it seems like weeks! haha -- i'm just hoping that the old winners will get the achievement/trophy still?

I am quite curious, because right around midnight tonight, EST, I received a nightmare potion in my inventory. It appeared while I was moving items into my shop and wardrobe, so that is how I know the approximate time it appeared there.

Having purchased tickets in the potion lottery and choosing specifically the nightmare potion, I just assumed I had won the potion lottery and was excited about that. The news had not yet been posted saying who had won, and the achievement did not appear, however I did not get any messages stating anyone had donated the potion to me either. No messages or alerts appeared at all.

Now I just checked the news and see that it says specialspice won a marsh potion, so I am wondering then, where did this nightmare potion come from if it was not from the potion lottery?

you should have gotten an event if you won the potion lottery.

perhaps you received it from a random event?

Hmm I suppose that is a possibility, as I tend to miss the random event boxes that pop up at the top of my screen. If that is the case however, that is one heck of a nice random event, hehe.
