Or maybe it was just a glitch, I really don't think that the person could have hacked the TYS. :thinking:

I don't know about anyone every winning TYS, but you can't have 40 million on hand - it does disappear. Apparently it's a safety feature. Happened to someone on the BD recently, they were obviously having fits. They'd taken that much out I think for an auction. It was returned to the person, but it took about a week.

So even if you did win, how much would you really win? Like if the jackpot is over 200 million, would you have to get it increments of like 3,999,999 until you got the whole 200 million?

I really don't believe it's possible to win that game, but that's just my 2 cents.

What's so safetyish about having a 40mil cap on NP? I mean, its not like I'd ever have that much, but whats the point of capping it off? If you account gets scammed, and you have over 40mil on your hand, it's your own fault.

Maybe it's just a way to stop people like featheralley from owning 50% of the neopoints in the game?

Aaannnnyway, I don't think it's possible to win that jackpot. No way. Not a chance. But then, they did have a billion np giveaway once (I'm serious. I read it someone on the site. You sign up to a sponsor and you go into this big draw. Winner gets 1billion np. This was years ago though). I dunno. I mean, you can get 'near' the jackpot (won a Halloween Paintbrush once :D), but I've never heard of anyone legimately winning that much NP.

They split the prize between a few people, giving them 500,000 NP each.

I remember it. Wish I had won. :\

Awwww, that kinda sucks. 500k each. But then, it's a fair amount. They should do something like that again. I have no worries signing up to a sponsor. Big whoop. I can always just block em anyway :P

Seems we're all in agreement pretty much - TYS is not able to be won

Wasnt there a topic here several months ago about someone winning the TYS Jackpot, and losing it because they tried to put it all in the bank?

I never get ANYTHING from TYS. :(

On the other hand, I remember quite well that drawing. I actually believe it was out of 2 billion...my old account was one of the ones that got drawn :D

So....what if you accidentally take too much money out of the bank? I know it's unlikely, but....if you accidentally hit one too many 0's when you're withdrawing and you have the money, does it all go away? Can you ever get it back?

I've said already. There's a certain area you can press to make the bar increase by 1 notch. Pressing it 100 times puts the bar at 100 / 100 but you still get whatever prize you were going to get anyway

Perhaps thats how they did it. I stumbled upon the spot by accident - maybe it used to be that if you pressed it 100 times and then clicked you would score 100 / 100
