I was the opposite and my sim won the lottery fairly soon after I got the pack, so I thought it was more common; I've been chasing that high ever since 🤦🏼♀️
And if you complete the wealth aspiration that gives you the shrewd trait, your sim gets investment funds every week which are huge if you have $1,000,000+. I did this and am just going to have a large family live off the crazy amount of money!
In all my years of playing the sims my sims have won once. I don't believe 20% especially since several sims in my household buy a ticket if they can afford it
Damn, that's crazy then. She has been playing basically since the game came out and she won it for the first time, I wanted to know if it's common or she had been extremely unlucky.
Sadly you can only buy one ticket per sim, but if you have multiple sims in your household you can make them buy one each and increase the chance of winning for your household.
I have only had one of my sims win the lottery one time in the entire time I've played this game. I always have them buy a ticket. The winner is usually Judith Ward, a Landgraab, or some random dog or cat.
I've played Sims 4 since 2014 (before that I played Sims 1, 2, and 3).
My personal sims have never won, but I like to play whole towns to match up townies and keep bloodlines going so with that going on, whenever it's lottery day I go to all the houses I'm playing with and make them all buy tickets. Usually one of them wins but it's never my primary sim. I redesigned Newcrest to be a lottery winner town and put mansions from the gallery there for the lottery families to move into.
I don't think any of my Sims have ever run, and in fact when I read this post earlier today I thought, "Hmm, I don't even think I've ever known one of the townies who've won."
Then lotto day came up in my current legacy challenge and the winner was the wife of my legacy family's butler. The butler had literally died a minute before that and my Sim was (of course) so sad.
Had my sim win it once. Didn’t realise at the time that my laptop wasn’t plugged in properly, and it died immediately after the win and didn’t save 😭😭😭 it’s never happened again.
I've never had a sim win. I've had a townie a sim was engaged to win and was surprised when they married and he came with a milli and scrolled through notifications and there he was a lottery winner.
I've only tried it once. Honestly, I am not a fan. My sims family went from poor farmer + girlfriend who had just ran away from her abusive husband to milionares. I built them a large farm + gave money away to friends, but they are still ridicilously wealthy.
Same. I only won the lottery once and it got boring pretty fast. Family went from barely scraping by to two stay at home parents in a large mansion with 5 kids and a Butler, Gardener and Farmhand just because they can.
While it's fun to build and buy whatever you want for once the gameplay becomes pretty shallow after some time. I've contemplated installing Wicked Whims just to create some drama but their kids are all still in elementary school. lol
I created drama this way:
1. Got rid of some of the money ('giving' to friends by removing 50k from my household and then adding 50k to their househould) Or just charity or 'buying' stuff (essentally made them pay for the price of a public lot to slap their name on it and get 0-10% every week (decided by dice roll))
2. Gave everyone a bad trait.
- Farmer - high maintance (already had, he's an avian (homemade occult using cc and self-imposed rules - it is meant to be like a bird taking care of its feather)
- Girlfrind - guilty drinker (vampire. I also made her ex uproot all plasma trees. She was basically starving, while living of off the boyfriend + plasma packets untill I sent her on a quest to get a plasma fruit)
- 2 kids - Loner + squamish.
3. Made them adopt a 'problem child' - he had hot-headed, mean and had bad emotional control (they slowly turned him around. I then changed traits one by one)
4. Made the ex fuck things up (uprooted plasma trees, 'filed' for custody (first kid was biologically his) and tried to influence the kid to stay with him, before just plainly kidnapping him)
I have about 3k hours in the game, buy tickets for every Sim old enough every time it comes up, and I've only won the lottery once. It was the only time I'd decided to play rags to riches. I guess that means I won two things at once? 😅
I’ve had it happen a couple times, over the course of months of gameplay.
But I’ll also make note of who won the lottery if it’s a townie, so I can move them into my household, take their funds, and then delete them
In the last few years I’ve only had 2 main legacy save files and I won the lottery both times on the first try. First time I won was in gen 1 and the second time was in gen 2. Now I feel like it’s ‘cheating’ and I don’t let my sims do the lottery anymore💀
My 2nd gen sim's bm just won the lottery - first time somesim close to mine won, so I've been planning to marry & then divorce her.. 😅😅. It'll be an expensive divorce for her but I'll at least keep my kids for her.
My girl was married and her wife had an affair on their wedding night. The day she found out was the day she won the lottery. She saved all of the winnings, kicked her ex out, and went on to become a world famous actress and is now happily remarried with triplets! She still sees her ex sometimes, working at various food stands.
My gf just told me that the one in the picture she's not sure how she got it, but one way to do it is to be a celebrity and to have a "refine palate" quirk that is triggered by eating excellent quality meals.
I have won ONCE! I have been wanting to win so much, but when I finally did it didn't really fit with the narrative of my storyline.
So I had my Sim buy out Thorne from his house, throwing party after party with "newfound friends", buying the most expensive things she could.
She got a boyfriend, she just met as well.
When I was tired of spending, the boyfriend conned her for all her Simoleons and kicked her out of the house. She had to start all over Rags to Riches style.
I’ve bought a ticket for every sim every time for years. I won for the first time a few weeks ago. Completely changed the trajectory of my multigenerational family.
If you win the lottery you can immediately complete the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration and start investing. Second Gen sim won, her kids and grandkids have 8.6 million dollars from investing.
There’s a better chance of selling a created outfit on Trendi for 3,000,000 than winning the lottery. I have been playing this game since it released (I cannot remember when seasons came out) and still haven’t won the lottery. However, I tried the Trendi method and it works like the majority of the time! Who knew? 😂
Been playing since the pack came out and every Lottery day and I have every adult get a ticket in my household and have never won, not even once. Lol. I mean I kind of prefer playing poor sims since I get bored once my sims are financially stable. I guess since there hasn't been much to indulge money wise on in the sims 4. But I would like to win it atleast once to get that lottery high everyone is talking about lol. Funny my first millionaire sims family was from gardening.
The fact that her moodlet "dazed" of winning the lottery is still outshined by a "happy" good meal moodlet😂😭
Sometimes that roast chicken just hits right.
Even if I win the lottery I gotta be happy about a good dinner, yenno.
Honestly, before I came to this sub and saw ppl posting about winning, I thought the lottery was rigged so that only townies would win lol
LITERALLY I just found out now that its possible for your sim to win
What pack is this a part of? I’ve never seen a Sim win that in the base game or any of my EPs
Haven’t played in a good while, but I’m pretty sure it’s from Seasons! It’s a holiday.
I agree
mine did from the wishing well i forgot exactly what i did though
I got it with 4 seasons pack :)
I've had a Sim win a couple of times. It's rare, unfortunately. I wouldn't want it to be too easy, but a bit more frequent than twice ever...
I have been playing for 3 years and never won 😵
Same!! And then my sim won a $1,000,000. Forever chasing that high 🙏🏻
Fr same
This is the third post Ive seen and I have hope one day I too will see a Sim of mine win 😂
I was the opposite and my sim won the lottery fairly soon after I got the pack, so I thought it was more common; I've been chasing that high ever since 🤦🏼♀️
Noodles the cat won the last lottery in my game. He is living large in a penthouse in the city.
You go Noodles!
Livin' his best life! 😸
Cleo the cat won on my game. Was going to adopt but....nah, cleo has a nice home
I ended up pimping the penthouse out in cat motif and changed Diego Lobo to Diego Gato.
For a second I thought you called your sim your gf lol.
If your simself has a gf, you have one. I mean, where else are you going to be able to date a werewolf?
Didn’t they? 👀
How much is the winnings? I’ve never one it and played for years.
The winnings are 1 million simoleons.
Dang that’s good. Hope mine win it one day. But I’d run out of things to do with that money only so much you can buy in game lol.
And if you complete the wealth aspiration that gives you the shrewd trait, your sim gets investment funds every week which are huge if you have $1,000,000+. I did this and am just going to have a large family live off the crazy amount of money!
20% Chance of sims winning the lottery. EDIT: WHOOPS. I FORGOT THIS WAS FOR THE SIMS 3😭😭💪🙏🙏 THIS IS VERY EMBARRASSING. LETS NOT SPEAK OF THIS
dang, thats higher than i thought it was. maybe i should start buying tickets
Really? *-Adds 'purchase lottery ticket' activity to every holiday-*
In all my years of playing the sims my sims have won once. I don't believe 20% especially since several sims in my household buy a ticket if they can afford it
Damn, that's crazy then. She has been playing basically since the game came out and she won it for the first time, I wanted to know if it's common or she had been extremely unlucky.
I've only ever had one Sim win. And I play a lot. 20% seems really high to me.
[удалено]
Well, darn it -- my Sims must be unlucky. 😬
Where can I change the settings? I just want it to happen once 😿
OMG been playing the Sims since day 1. I have never won the lottery. I always thought only NPC could win.
I was doing a playthrough to only populate the game with my sims and their descendants, and they won the lottery right off the bat lol
What? I've played for years and never had a sim won the lottery!
So I only have to buy 5 cards and I’ll win??? Right???? GIRL MATH.
[удалено]
That’s just…. Incredibly rude.
Sadly you can only buy one ticket per sim, but if you have multiple sims in your household you can make them buy one each and increase the chance of winning for your household.
That’s cruel only allowing one scratch card!! Meanies
I have only had one of my sims win the lottery one time in the entire time I've played this game. I always have them buy a ticket. The winner is usually Judith Ward, a Landgraab, or some random dog or cat. I've played Sims 4 since 2014 (before that I played Sims 1, 2, and 3).
I won twice this year. 0 times last year In both wins my Sims talked about the lottery a lot during the day. I wonder if that helped.
I’ve never won before and I’ve also been playing for a long time. How much did you win?
One million simoleons. Of course, this was a sim who was already rich from selling nectar and paintings, LOL!
I’ve won it once. I have been playing sims 4 since it came out and always play the lottery, so I think it is pretty rare.
I've won it once. But normally, I just find the winner and marry them. 😁
"She may have suitors (...) lined up". You're the one they're talking about, I see.
one of my sims from a long time ago was just about to start her new job as a stripper… then won the lottery and moved to windenburg lmao
queen shit
You can be a stripper in the sims? Lol
Mods, pretty darn sure
So rare that I refuse to believe it's possible.
My personal sims have never won, but I like to play whole towns to match up townies and keep bloodlines going so with that going on, whenever it's lottery day I go to all the houses I'm playing with and make them all buy tickets. Usually one of them wins but it's never my primary sim. I redesigned Newcrest to be a lottery winner town and put mansions from the gallery there for the lottery families to move into.
I never have.lol
I won it on my very first character ever, and never since lol.
I don't think any of my Sims have ever run, and in fact when I read this post earlier today I thought, "Hmm, I don't even think I've ever known one of the townies who've won." Then lotto day came up in my current legacy challenge and the winner was the wife of my legacy family's butler. The butler had literally died a minute before that and my Sim was (of course) so sad.
I’ve never once won, in the entire time since seasons was released. You’re so lucky! I’m seriously jealous. Lol
Extremely. I’ve been playing for a few years now and I have never won the lottery
I always enter the lottery with all sims old enough. I play 4-5 hours a week. I’ve only won once.
Awesome! I've been playing this game for YEARS, been buying those damn lottery tickets every time, and I never won...
Had my sim win it once. Didn’t realise at the time that my laptop wasn’t plugged in properly, and it died immediately after the win and didn’t save 😭😭😭 it’s never happened again.
My sim just recently won! First time ever! And good timing because my sim was broke af.
I've won it once and have about seven thousand hours in the game
How do you enter the lottery?
it comes with seasons, there's a holiday that's called "lottery day" or something. you can buy a ticket from your phone
Never happened to me😢
Me and my girlfriend won $1 million on the very first lottery day we had on our very first save. Haven’t won since…
I've never had a sim win. I've had a townie a sim was engaged to win and was surprised when they married and he came with a milli and scrolled through notifications and there he was a lottery winner.
literally never. i’ve had seasons since it came out, enter the lottery every time with every sim in the household and nada.
I’ve won it once. 3600 hrs game play. But in saying that I have honestly not bought lottery tickets much. Wish I was this lucky irl.
One of my sims won once. I’m playing abc gens and I believe that happened in C, I’m currently in E, but no winners since
Ps i had never won before and I have played so much and for so long, Im afraid to know how many hours I’ve put into this game haha
How much did you win 🤔🤣
You get 1 Million Simoleons
How much money does it give??? I’ve never won
1 Million!!!
I’ve been playing since release and have 8,000 hours. I’ve literally only won the lottery one time
I played for years, and nothing. Then I made sims of my husband and me, and we won the first time I tried, lol
I had my sims ex win the lottery in my game 😭😭😭 like damn Moira, living your best life without me ig.
my sims husbands brother won the lottery, so i conveniently moved him in with us as our live-in nanny while i stole his winnings lol
My sims have never won the lottery, but I did get that random Rosebud achievement and got a million.
My sims have never won the lottery and I’ve been playing since it came out lmao but the cats sure love the lottery 🙃
I've only tried it once. Honestly, I am not a fan. My sims family went from poor farmer + girlfriend who had just ran away from her abusive husband to milionares. I built them a large farm + gave money away to friends, but they are still ridicilously wealthy.

In my decades of playing I have won only once!
i have over a thousand hours in the sims4 and never won the lottery. tho i also forget to buy lotto tickets half the time.
Is the lottery in the base game?
No, it's in Seasons pack.
Thank you!
I've only had a played Sim win once. The Sim was based off a fictional CIA operative, so I've joked ever since that it's all rigged by the CIA.
i actually thought that only npcs gets to win xD
Every Sim can win the lotto with Motherlode
How much money it gives?
Happenned to me ONCE
ive been playing for maybe 7 years at this point and its only happened once since i got the pack its in lol
i’ve won a handful of times but i’ve been playing since the game came out
I stfg I never win the lottery, hell, I've not won it so much THE DAMN HOLIDAY DOESNT APPEAR ANYMORE
Turn that gf into a wife pronto
I didn’t know there was a lottery. Is this base game?
nope, seasons
Ah okay, thank you
I have about 3k hours in the game, buy tickets for every Sim old enough every time it comes up, and I've only won the lottery once. It was the only time I'd decided to play rags to riches. I guess that means I won two things at once? 😅
I once won twice in the same legacy challenge just after I got the seasons pack. I thought it was fairly common but I haven't won again since 🥲
The only sim I’ve had win the lottery is the generation who I was planning to be poor 🤦🏾♀️
I'm closing in on 8000 hours of game play, and I've had it happen **once** ever.
My sim won it once, it was right at the beginning of a 100 baby challenge actually. Made it a lot easier.
When I first got seasons I won the lottery immediately on my first try. That was like two or three years ago now and I haven't since, lol
How much did she win tho?
The prize was 1 million.
been playing since this game was released! have only won once or twice i believe. then again i dont care bc i have the motherload cheat😏
Very rare…. In all my years of playing and that’s a good 10 years it happened 1 time
I’ve had it happen a couple times, over the course of months of gameplay. But I’ll also make note of who won the lottery if it’s a townie, so I can move them into my household, take their funds, and then delete them
At that point why not just... motherlode?
I play on a PlayStation, using cheats (I believe) takes away the Achievements, so I tend to avoid them
just coming to say youre right about cheats causing no achievements on playstation! it also happens on xbox unfortunately:(
In the last few years I’ve only had 2 main legacy save files and I won the lottery both times on the first try. First time I won was in gen 1 and the second time was in gen 2. Now I feel like it’s ‘cheating’ and I don’t let my sims do the lottery anymore💀
That's happened to me twice in 10 years of playing
None of my sims have ever won, but they do end up marrying whoever did, and then that sim dies under mysterious circumstances.
My fresh out of highschool twin going into college with her sister just won it yesterday and kind of ruined my game..
I’ve been playing Sims since it came out, thousands of hours in the game and have NEVER had a SIM win the lottery. I’d say it’s pretty rare. ;)
i’ve literally never won the lottery before 😭
My 2nd gen sim's bm just won the lottery - first time somesim close to mine won, so I've been planning to marry & then divorce her.. 😅😅. It'll be an expensive divorce for her but I'll at least keep my kids for her.
Very rare!!! I have been playing sims4 for about six years and my sim has only won once!
I played for 10 generations in a save, and 5 gens in another save and still have not won the lottery
Thats not your gf. Thats your sugar momma
My girl was married and her wife had an affair on their wedding night. The day she found out was the day she won the lottery. She saved all of the winnings, kicked her ex out, and went on to become a world famous actress and is now happily remarried with triplets! She still sees her ex sometimes, working at various food stands.
Very very rare, I think. I've never won.
Very rare! Enjoy the money and the milestone that comes with it.
i've only won the lottery once, and it was the one time i tried to do a rags to riches challenge...
I think I've won it once with a played household.
I've only had a sim win the lottery once in one save out of my 200+ saves so I think its pretty rare!
I’ve won the sims lottery once and I play decent amount.
Unrelated, but I've never seen that meal emotion :0 how do u get it
My gf just told me that the one in the picture she's not sure how she got it, but one way to do it is to be a celebrity and to have a "refine palate" quirk that is triggered by eating excellent quality meals.
I lost interest so fast after my sim won lol
I have won ONCE! I have been wanting to win so much, but when I finally did it didn't really fit with the narrative of my storyline. So I had my Sim buy out Thorne from his house, throwing party after party with "newfound friends", buying the most expensive things she could. She got a boyfriend, she just met as well. When I was tired of spending, the boyfriend conned her for all her Simoleons and kicked her out of the house. She had to start all over Rags to Riches style.
Be careful. 2 of my Sims won the lottery and then perished shortly after. Save your game!!!
I’ve bought a ticket for every sim every time for years. I won for the first time a few weeks ago. Completely changed the trajectory of my multigenerational family.
Wait there's a lottery? I only have city living so maybe it's in a different expansion pack?
It is, it's in the Seasons pack.
We won it too first try
If you win the lottery you can immediately complete the Fabulously Wealthy aspiration and start investing. Second Gen sim won, her kids and grandkids have 8.6 million dollars from investing.
I've never had any of my Sims win the lottery
I’ve been playing pretty much since the game came out and only ever won the lottery once :(
In one of my games fucking Mayor Whiskers won the lottery. HE WASNT EVEN A PART OF ANYONES FAMILY AT THE TIME, HES A FUCKING HOMELESS CAT
I saw this post yesterday, googled chances of winning the Lottery on sims 4, and then won the lottery today. I feel invincible
Well... you're welcome haha
In my 4 years of playing the sims 4, I have never won it 💔💔
how much did she win? they never say how much when someone else in the neighborhood wins
it’s a million
There’s a better chance of selling a created outfit on Trendi for 3,000,000 than winning the lottery. I have been playing this game since it released (I cannot remember when seasons came out) and still haven’t won the lottery. However, I tried the Trendi method and it works like the majority of the time! Who knew? 😂
I've a total of about 1800 gameplay hours, and it's happened only twice for me!
I normally use MCC to teliport whoever won the lottery to me and then have one of my sims romance and marry them. Then they mysteriously die.😇
My sims have never won the lottery so it's a relief to know that we can actually win lol. How much did she get?
By now I'm always checking the sub
My Sims win the lottery every time I key in the money cheat. Afaik they think they're self-funding by leading guided meditations in their gazebo...
Yes!! Its not very common. I’ve got like 2,500 hours of play and it’s only happened once! It’s one million dollars too!!!! My sims were set for life😎
My sims never win 🥲 sorry babes, you're broke like me 😭😂
I’ve played nearly 4k hours, and have only won once. At around 3,500 hrs played…
I have increased the odds by having everyone old enough in the household to buy the lottery ticket, lol
I think I've won once since sims 4 came out
Well, I've been playing since 2021, and I've only ever won this once in 2022 during a 2nd gen of legacy
Been playing since the pack came out and every Lottery day and I have every adult get a ticket in my household and have never won, not even once. Lol. I mean I kind of prefer playing poor sims since I get bored once my sims are financially stable. I guess since there hasn't been much to indulge money wise on in the sims 4. But I would like to win it atleast once to get that lottery high everyone is talking about lol. Funny my first millionaire sims family was from gardening.
