What the publisher recommends
- Collect free tickets consistently over several weeks instead of spending them as they arrive.
- Wait for Tombola events with better prize pools before spending everything at once.
- Check the market price of Tombola items in the Auction House. Sometimes selling a win is better than using it.
- Do not chase the jackpot.
