Ever wonder what it would be like to bathe in a pool of gil or bask in the attention of your peers as you strut through town square with a kraken club-caliber weapon swaying at your hip? If your answer is yes, then the Mog Bonanza is not an event you can afford to miss!
As a show of gratitude to all of you who have helped to make Vana'diel such a vibrant realm of adventure for these past eight years, we'll be giving away some of the most extravagant prizes ever to grace a Mog Bonanza! Don't miss this chance to turn your Vana'dielian dreams into reality and become the envy of all fellow adventurers. Ridiculous amounts of gil or super-rare items of legend—or both—await you!
* Please remember that all prizes won in the Mog Bonanza are virtual goods and cannot be redeemed for real-world money.
How to Play
The Mog Bonanza is a number-guessing game in which you pick a five-digit number of your choice, kupo. Playing is simple! Purchase a Mog Bonanza marble (*1) from a Bonanza Moogle at designated areas (*2), then have the vendor inscribe your desired five-digit number on it, kupo. If you can't decide on a number, we moogles will be more than happy to pick one for you. The winning numbers will be announced at a later date, so sit tight and leave the rest to Lady Luck, kupo!
The conditions for winning are as follows:
Rank 1 prize: all five digits matching.
Rank 2 prize: the last four digits matching.
Rank 3 prize: the last three digits matching.
Rank 4 prize: the last two digits matching.
Rank 5 prize: the last digit matching.
* The winning number for each prize rank will be drawn separately. In the event that winning numbers overlap for multiple prize ranks, the higher-ranked prize will be given precedence. For example, should the winning numbers for ranks 4 and 5 be "11" and "1" respectively, the holder of a bonanza marble etched with the number "11111" will be awarded with a rank 4 prize.

Based on the proceeds of total marbles sold (6,458,670,000 gil), the gil prize for each prize rank has been calculated as follows:
Rank 1 Prize: (6,458,670,000 X 50%) ÷29 = 111,356,380
Rank 2 Prize: (6,458,670,000 X 23%) ÷277 = 5,362,795
Rank 3 Prize: (6,458,670,000 X 27%) ÷3,185 = 547,517
*Each prize amount has been rounded up to the nearest gil.
*The gil prize calculation formula is outlined below.
How to Check the Winning Numbers
The winning numbers can be confirmed via the following two methods during the designated prize collection period:
The amount of gil awarded for each rank will be determined by first taking a percentage value (listed below) of the proceeds of marble sales in all worlds, then further dividing the resultant figure by the total number of winners representing each rank.
Rank 1 → 50%
Rank 2 → 23% Rank 3 → 27%
For example, in the case that marble sale proceeds total 10 billion gil, with 50 rank 1, 500 rank 2, and 5000 rank 3 prize winners, the amount of gil awarded to the winners of each rank would be as follows:
Rank 1 Prize: (10 billion x 50%) ÷50 = 100 million
Rank 2 Prize: (10 billion x 23%) ÷500 = 4.6 million Rank 3 Prize: (10 billion x 27%) ÷5000 = 540,000
