Another year, and cygames has come up with another method to make a certain part of their fanbase very happy and the rest extremely angry. We've had roulette for variable amounts of free pulls, Scratchers for random loot of extreme varying quality, and now they've managed to top it all with the summer 2021 lottery.

A bit of background for non players. During August GBF ran a summer event where you can log in for up to 13 days to get a 3 digit lottery ticket every day. On the 16th, AKA the day of writing cygames would release the winning numbers and depending on how many numbers you matched you would be given one of 5 tiers of prizes.

1. Sierotix which lets you grab anything from the gacha excluding last year's zodiac unit, or a fully maxed out 100 moon leviathan weapon.

2. Some bait prizes no one cares about, or 330 pulls worth of gems.

3.Grand of your choice, aka Fes/Legendary/Gala unit or any one of a myriad of strong summons including Belial.

4.Gutter trash that has no real value.

5.Absolutely nothing.

Upon release players quickly figured out that it would be completely possible for every ticket to whiff leaving you with nothing prompting cygames to release a tweet clarifying that the first 10 tickets are rigged so you are guaranteed at least a single tier 4.

People still weren't happy but held on to some copium of cygames giving out a pity tier 3 prize or some other renumeration for those unfortunate enough to be stuck with only tier 4 tickets. Now that the day has come and it turned out it was just as bad as everyone thought. A few won big with tier 1 and 2, some got a free grand from 3, and the majority got only tier 4 prizes and a load of salt.

Discord, the subreddit, and twitter are ablaze right now.

EDIT: THE COMPLAINTS WORKED FREE TIER 3 FOR EVERYONE
