The incredible Hisuyan Samurot of one player in Pokemon Go Raiding Day catches make some people think they should start playing the lottery.
On Sunday, December 3rd, Niantic held a Raid Day for PoGo, an event that celebrated the long-awaited debut of Hisuian Samurott.
The fearsome creature has appeared in three-star raids around the world, and some players may have been lucky enough to encounter its Shining form.
Of course, in many ways, luck is the name of the game when it comes to Pokemon Go. But one fan hit the jackpot multiple times during the latest raid.

Asked about the lottery, one player said, “Absolutely. I never get shiny on raid days.” Several other fans shared their misfortunes, noting the rarity of running into so many shinys in one raid day.
One such comment reads, “I’ve done 7 raids and got 0 shinys. I got one that I liked for the Ultra League, so I’m happy.” Another says: “Yesterday I did 5 raids, 4 alone and 1 with mates. I didn’t think it could be shiny until the last raid I did with my mates when they all got shiny except me. So either you have to buy a ticket or I know you never have to spend money on it.’

Clearly, the odds of Pokemon Go were in favor of the original poster. As for the lottery, they either have to take a chance or wonder if all their luck has been used up.
