is deceased, so how in the world would Hope be able to enter the lottery? I've also seen an inactive user win the lottery before.

that's not a bug, you can buy tickets for other users and there's even an achievement for doing so (Entered in Potion Lottery - Be entered in the potion lottery by a friend with a mega ticket). it looks like hope's friends thought it'd be nice if her account won on her birthday.

- Huh, I didn't think that buying tickets for other users would extend to inactive or deceased users. Oh well, I learned something new. XD

That was a sweet gesture by Hope's friends. :)

it was very sweet c: i would imagine the only users you can't buy tickets for are frozen users, but i don't know for sure.
