How to Cheat in Happy Lucky Lottery

Change Time to One Year Later

Paper Mario TTYD Switch Remake - How to Win First Prize in Happy Lucky Lottery

You have a higher chance of winning the first prize in Happy Lucky Lottery if you change the time to a year up to a year and three months later from when you first got the lotto ticket. You can change this in your Nintendo Switch's settings.

If you have changed the date and still cannot get the jackpot prize, try changing the time one day at a time until you hit it.

How to Win Second Jackpot Prize

To win the second jackpot prize, you first must win the initial jackpot.

Once you get the first prize, buy a new lotto ticket, then fill up your inventory to its limit.

Next, try to win the first prize again via date skipping; this time, you will not get that prize since your inventory is full and your lottery ticket won't need to be exchanged.

Keep changing your date until you get the second prize.

How to Draw Multiple Times

Change Your Time to One Day Later

If you change the time on your Switch console to one day later, the lottery winning number will change even if no real time has passed.

Note that you only need one lottery ticket to win all the prizes except for the first prize. Once you win the first prize, you will be forced to exchange the ticket for a new one, so it's a good strategy to win all the other prizes first.

Alternate Between Checking Numbers and Changing the Date

Once you have checked the winning numbers, change the time again to one day later. By alternating between checking the results and changing the time, you can play Happy Lucky Lottery multiple times in just one day and try to get all the prizes.

Do Not Set Your Time to a Previous Day

If you change the time to a previous day however, a penalty scene will happen and your lotto ticket will be confiscated. It will also cost you 500 coins to buy a new lotto ticket after that.
