nettle_tea Posted February 11, 2020 Good luck to everyone who entered!! My Arle arrived and she is absolutely precious. I am over the moon! I've pined for a rerelease of her for so long that I still can't really believe she's here. 😍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the previous lottery you were in, were emails sent prior to the "results by" date, or on the date itself? If you remember. I had a dream last night that lottery results came out already.

jazijaz Posted February 22, 2020 OH MY GOD Life has been so hard for me, I've been physically and mentally sick and I was in the hospital when Arle went on sale for the clickwar. I was so sad and got depressed, she is my dream doll! I entered the lottery not having any hope. I just checked my email, I was so afraid to check but I WON 🥳 I'm literally crying, she will be a reminder to me that life is good no matter what hardships we go through, she will be my reminder to not lose HOPE during dark times. I'M SO HAPPY! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jezrah Posted February 22, 2020 I got a win as well! I'm so excited, it's been such a crappy week at work, and I've been doing nothing but working since the beginning of the year. The odds seem pretty good so far, hopefully they made a lot of her! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SakuraSylph Posted February 22, 2020 Unless VolksUSA is sending separate e-mails for each doll - not sure if they do that these days - here's one report for a loss on Arle since she wasn't included in the email I received. I did enter for both dolls though, so it's still happy news, just for the other thread :). SakuraSylph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know either especially since Ranko is the first doll lottery I've ever entered, but that page the email takes you to with the item for you to buy--wouldn't that page show both dolls together if you've won both? At least with the outfit lotteries I know that's how it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least with the outfit lotteries I know that's how it is. Pretty sure that is how it works. After I won Lady Oscar going to the page to buy Oscar also showed Mars and the Juban High outfit, even though I had already paid for them a few days earlier. Basically those profile groups are your access to the lottery items on the website, and as long as you have those groups you will see the option to buy the product. 35 minutes ago, SakuraSylph said: Unless VolksUSA is sending separate e-mails for each doll - not sure if they do that these days - here's one report for a loss on Arle since she wasn't included in the email I received.

If you aren't seeing one for Arle, then you didn't win her. Edited February 22, 2020 by BeyondTime The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

At least with the outfit lotteries I know that's how it is. Good point! Presumably it would show both, if all the results are finalized prior to any e-mails going out. It'd be convenient if that's what VolksUSA is doing these days. I was thinking back to previous doll lotteries where winning emails were sent out individually, and at different times of day, so winning one item didn't say anything about the status of any other item. It looks like the VolksUSA email was complete, with a yea on Ranko and a nay on Arle, confirmed with the user groups online per BeyondTime's suggestion. Interesting to see how things have changed these days! To be honest I think it's only fair that the winnings would be spread around as much as possible, so getting both the DDs probably wouldn't happen unless there was not enough applicants to fill out both lottery pools at 1-doll-per. So, in a way, I think it's a good result because if I could only have one of the two then I got the one I wanted more. I'll miss Arle, but.. Volks is good at reading my mind and making those tradeoffs on my behalf. 1 SakuraSylph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting to see how things have changed these days! Anecdotally, it seems like VolksUSA did send out all the emails right before the 4PM CST deadline that was on the lottery event page; at least all of us who posted here seemed to have got them about the same time. I posted slightly later only because I went and paid first after getting the email. I was also away from the computer for a bit so it may have already come a bit before I saw it. 8 minutes ago, SakuraSylph said: I'll miss Arle, but..

(When I chose that, I actually picked an anime pic instead of a doll pic because I didn't want to look too much like yours.)

lardroom Posted February 22, 2020 I won Arle! She was the only one I tried for, though. This was just on a whim and I honestly wan't expecting to win. They must have made a lot of Arle for the U.S.. She's so cute, though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I felt the same way about Ranko, did not expect her to ship this early. I'm guessing that Volks USA worked extra hard to get them out the door before everything shuts down.
