17.4.4 LOTTERIES

In order to participate in an Achaean lottery, type LOTTERIES to see what
lotteries you can enter. 

If there is one available, you can LOTTERY INFO <lottery #> to get more 
information, including the prizes, the ways to buy and the ticket costs.

There can be three different types of ways to buy tickets:
1. You can buy tickets from the person who is running the lottery.
2. If the runner has decided to allow it, you can buy tickets at the Lottery
   Office in Delos.
3. And finally, if the runner has enabled it, tickets can be bought at a 
   ticket box, the location specified in LOTTERY INFO <lottery #>.

The syntax for buying tickets is BUY TICKET IN <lottery #>. To buy more than
one ticket, you can do BUY <amount> TICKETS IN <lottery #>. You want to buy 
tickets for someone else? Just do BUY TICKET IN <lottery #> FOR <person>.

The Lottery Office can be found in Delos, next to the Crafters Union.

When the lottery is over, the winning tickets are drawn by the lottery runner.
Gold prizes will have to be claimed with the runner or at the Lottery 
Office in Delos.

In case the lottery had alternative prizes (i.e. non gold), these will have 
to be claimed at the lottery runner personally.
