Unlock
Players must complete the level 15 quests 
Scratch It Rich and Hitting the Cactpot. Players can start the Hitting the Cactpot by talking to Jumbo Cactpot Broker in The Gold Saucer (X:8, Y:5). Players can start the Scratch It Rich by talking to Mini Cactpot Broker in The Gold Saucer (X:5, Y:6). Players must have previously completed It Could Happen to You.
Mini Cactpot
The Mini Cactpot is a daily lottery you can participate in 3 times per Earth day (resets every day at 10 AM EST / 7 AM PST / 8 AM PDT). Each ticket costs 10 MGP. Similar to a scratch-off lottery ticket, you'll reveal numbers, and depending on the sum of the numbers the rewards you can obtain will differ.
How to Play
1. Select Numbers
Every ticket has nine spaces with each numbered randomly from one to nine. At the start, however, eight of these nine spaces will be hidden. To begin, select three numbers from the eight hidden on your ticket.
2. Select a Line
Next, select one of eight lines─vertical, horizontal, or diagonal. When selecting a line, the sum of the three numbers in that line will determine the amount of MGP you receive.
3. Receive a Prize
After you have selected a line, all the numbers are uncovered, and you will receive MGP based on the sum of the line you chose.

Jumbo Cactpot
The Jumbo Cactpot is a weekly lottery that you can participate in once every Earth week by purchasing up to three tickets with four numbers you select (each digit is between 0 - 9). These tickets cost 100, 150, and 200 MGP, respectively. Every Saturday, the winning number is drawn at the Cactpot Board. The more players that purchase at least one ticket, the bigger the prize will be.
When the winning number is drawn, in order from the last digit to the first, the more matching numbers you have, the greater the prize you'll receive. You win the maximum prize, including the 
Mad Bird Ring, if you match all four numbers. You have up to one week to pick up the prize. There will also be an Early Bird Bonus if you exchange your winning ticket within one hour of the drawing.
Prior to Patch 3.4, players could only purchase a single ticket each week.
The drawing time for the various Data Centers is different, but occurs every Saturday (local time):
| Region | Drawing Time |
|---|---|
| Japan | 9PM JST / 4AM PST / 5AM PDT |
| North America | 6PM PST / 7PM PDT |
| Europe | 7PM GMT / Sunday 5AM AEST / Sunday 6AM AEDT / 11AM PST / 12PM PDT |
| Oceania | 9AM GMT / 7PM AEST / 8PM AEDT / 1AM PST / 2AM PDT |
