INTRODUCTION
------------

Hello! It's me Hello Hello, and I've finally gotten around to making an FAQ of
my very own. I was thinking that GameFAQs has given so much to me, that it's
about time that I gave something back. This is my first FAQ, so give me a break
if it's not perfect. This FAQ is for the Lottery system in the sleeper hit
Shadow Hearts for the PS2. While the lottey system isn't really mandetory for
prosperity in Shadow Hearts, some of the items it gives out can make things a
LOT easier. I sincerely hope this guide helps you in some way while you are
enjoying Shadow Hearts.

(I should probably also warn you now that I am a Speedtyper, which means there
will probably be typos... Lots of them. I also warn you that this guide will
contain SPOILERS, so read on at your own risk!)

--------------------------
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
--------------------------

Q: What is the lottery in Shadow Hearts? How does it work?

A: The lottery is a simple mini-game of sorts. To initiate it you must have at
  least one lottery ticket in your invetory, and you must find a lottery
  member. If you have a ticket in your invetory after the member's regular
  diologue, the member in question will ask if you are interested in playing
  the lottery. If you say yes, the Judgement Ring will appear and and begin
  spinning endlessly until you press X. Once you press X the ring will go
  around one more time but it WILL land where you pressed it. There are always
  various prizes in each game of lottery, which are separated into colours on
  the Judgement Ring. The colours they receive depends on the value of the
  prize. The most valueable prizes are always Red, and then they go on in
  value to Yellow, Aqua, Green, and White. White is always Tissues, which are
  worthless except for in one part of the game.


Q: How many lottery members are there?

A: 16


Q: Are some members missable?

A: YES! Once you get to certain points in the game, some members will be
  unreachable. You'll have to play through the game again on a New Game or
  New Game+ to play with them.


Q: Is there a secret member?

A: Yes. On top of members 1 through 15, there is also member No. 00.
  You can only  play him if you've played ALL of the other members
  first. If you missed a member you will not be able to play member No. 00.


Q: Are there a limited supply of lottery tickets?

A: YES! I can't stress this enough. NEVER waste a lottery ticket! Always save
  before you play the lottery! That way if you don't get the prize you want
  you can just reload your game. Wasting tickets is especially dangerous in
  the first half of the game, as all of the members are MISSABLE, and if you
  waste tickets you may not have enough left to play all of the members,
  causing you to miss some, and thus keeping you from ever playing No. 00 in
  that perticular game. If you want to play it safe then NEVER use more than 1
  ticket per member until you reach No. 00. Once you reach No. 00 you're safe
  and you can do whatever you want.


Q: So how many tickets are there total?

A: This guide says 23, but there are probably more.


Q: Is it really a lottery?

A: Yes... No... It depends on how you look at it. If you mean in the absolute
  literal sense, then no. You spin the the Judgement Ring, and try to stop the
  needle where you want. Now you can look at it another way too, in the sense
  that the Judgement Ring as a tool for executing actions doesn't really
  exist. The game explains that the Judgement Ring represents the flow of
  life, with Motive as the conscience of life, Action as the possibility of
  life, and Outcome as the destiny of life. With that you could look at it as
  if it is an actual traditional Lottery where it's all random, and you only
  win by chance, and the Judgement Ring is a tool used to alter destiny, where
  if you hit the Red mark, then destiny makes you beat the odds, and win the
  ultimate 1 in 100,000,000 odds prize. (Of course the problem with that
  theory is that some members actually talk about the Ring. Then again, that
  doesn't hold much ground either because the people in this game brake
  character freaquently.) Really though, look at it whichever way you want.


Q: It's too hard! Is there a trick to it?!

A: Not really. Practice, and patience are the 2 big factors to being successful
  with the Judgment ring. Just keep working at it, and make sure to save
  often, so you don't waste any tickets.

LOTTERY MEMBER LOCATIONS
------------------------

I've set the member data up like this

No. __ (This is the member's number.)

Name: (The name of the member in question.)

Location: Where the member in question can be found.

Missable?: (Whether or not the member is missable, and at what point he/she
           does become missable.)

Prizes: (Here I list all of the prizes, their colours, and their function.)

Notes: Just notes.

[Green]  Pure Seed        (Restores 6 SP)
[White]  Tissues          (Almost useless. Use to get the Air Gravestone)

Notes: Do NOT get the B. Tortoise Fang! Anything that makes your ring sweep
      faster = BAD!

      Also, after the explosion No. 15 will move to the inside of the Fengtian
      shop.


No. 14
Name: Filthy Samo
Location: In Dalian's Restaurant
Missable?: Unreachable after boarding the Smuggler's boat!
Prizes:
[Red]    Pocket Watch   (Renders Judgement Ring abnormalities ineffectual)
[Yellow] W. Tiger Hair  (User's hit area is cut in half, but Attack doubles)
[Aqua]   TeaOfTheHealer (Restores 75 HP and 50 MP)

Location: The Smuggler's Boat, on the Bridge
Missable?: Unreachable after battle with Li Li!
Prizes:
[Red]    Iron Clogs     (Agl down 15 points, but half indicator speed)
[Yellow] B. Dragon Horn (All allies' hit areas are cut in half, Atk doubles)
[Aqua]   Witch's Broth  (Restores 50 MP and 3 SP)
[Green]  Pure Leaf      (Restores 3 SP)
[White]  Tissues        (Almost useless. Use to get the Air Gravestone)

Notes: You can play with Kato after the monsters appear.


No. 12
Name: Sharp Van

Prizes:
[Red]    Star Card        (Enables discount ring at shops.)
[Yellow] R. Phoenix Talon (All allies rings twice as fast: Attack doubles)

[Green]  Pure Seed        (Restores 6 SP)
[White]  Tissues          (Almost useless. Use to get the Air Gravestone)

Notes: Star Card = AWESOME! Don't let it slip through your fingers!


No. 11
Name: Master Xiaofang
Location: Ni Wan Palace
Missable?: Unreachable after meeting Master Xifa
Prizes:
[Red]    Flash Badge   (Agl up 25 points, but 2X indicator speed)
[Yellow] Kirin Scale   (User's hit area doubles; Indicator sweeps half-speed)
[Aqua]   Priest's Wine (Restores 100 MP and 6 SP)
[Green]  Pure Seed     (Restores 6 SP)
[White]  Tissues       (Almost useless. Use to get the Air Gravestone)

Notes: Xiaofang as a lottery member is hidden on the Yellow level (that means
      before the red portal), in the very bottom of one of the dead-ends.
      Also, the Flash Badge is an awful, awful, awful accessory, now is the
      time to get that Tissues you need for the Air Gravestone later on.


No. 10
Name: Invincible Nee
Location: Kowloon Fortress
Missable?: Unreachable after Kuihai Tower
Prizes:
[Red]    Mind's Eye       (Hit area invisible, but physical attack doubles)
[Yellow] Moon Swallow     (Makes all allies' attacks all critical hits)
[Aqua]   TalismanOfWisdom (Restores unconscious person's HP 30% and 50 MP)
[Green]  Pure Seed        (Restores 6 SP)
[White]  Tissues          (Almost useless. Use to get Air Gravestone)

Notes: In my opinion the Mind's eye is the best item in the game, so don't miss
      it. It takes a little practice to get used to an invisible Judgment
      Ring, but once you get the hang of of it you will be basically
      unstoppable. (Although you can say goodbye to perfects for your regular
      attacks, heh.) I reccomend giving this to Yuri.

      Furthermore, Nee is also missable if you answered Deihuai wrong when
      Alice is hooked into Spirit Machine thing. The correct answers are the
      first choices. (Yes, I know you wanted to flirt with him, but too bad.)


No. 09
Name: Private Matsuura
Location: Kuihai Tower (After Japanese Army infiltration)
Missable?: Unreachable after Kuihai Tower
Prizes:
[Red]    Warlock Earrings (Sp Attack up 20%, Sp damage received up 20%)
[Yellow] Star Swallow     (Makes user's attacks all critical hits)
[Aqua]   Soul Bendiction  (Cures all Status abnormalities)
[Green]  Pure Seed        (Restores 6 SP)
[White]  Tissues          (Almost useless. Use to get Air Gravstone)

Notes: Warlock Earrings are okay... Better than nothing I guess.


No. 08
Name: Guard Homas
Location: Prague
Missable?: No.
Prizes:
[Red]    Brsrkr Earrings  (HP increases 20%)
[Yellow] Seal of Luck     (Lck increases 1 to 3 points)

[Green]  Thera Root       (Restores 300 HP)
[White]  Tissues          (Almost useless. Use to get Air Gravestone)

Notes: The Brsrkr Earrings is another accessory that helps make Yuri even more
      unstoppable then he already is.


No. 07
Name: Hunter Warda
Location: Bistritz
Missable?: No.
Prizes:
[Red]    Oracle Earrings     (MP increases 20%)

[White]  Tissues             (Almost useless. Use to get Air Gravestone)

Notes: You can't play with Warda until you have completed the Blue Castle's
      Tower. Also Oracle Earrings are a definite staple for Zhuzhen and Alice,
      so make sure you get them!

Prizes:
[Red]    Accelerator      (Multiplies pedometer readings)

[Green]  Pure Root        (Restores 10 SP)
[White]  Tissues          (Almost useless. Use to get Air Gravestone)

Notes: You can't play with Robin until you've beeten Olga for the second time.
      Also, the Accelerator makes getting Margarete's Leather Suit a LOT
      easier.


No. 05
Name: Drunken Orro
Location: London
Missable?: No.
Prizes:
[Red]    Priest Earrings (MP consumtion decreases 20%)
[Yellow] Seal of Speed   (Ag increases 1 to 3 points)
[Aqua]   Thera Extract   (Fully restores HP)
[Green]  Thera Root      (Restores 300 HP)
[White]  Tissues         (Almost useless. Use to get Air Gravestone)

Notes: Priest Earrings rock on Zhuzhen, but have fun trying to get
      them when the Red space is like less than a milimeter wide, LOL!

Name: Introverted Chopin
Location: Calios Mental Hospital, in the torture chair.
Missable?: No.
Prizes:

[White]  Tissues        (Almost useless. Use to get Air Gravestone)


Notes: Surprise, the ring for this game is INVISIBLE! You can cure it though,
      by equipping a Pocket Watch. Also you can't play with Macken until the
      Orphanage becomes an actual Orphanage, which occurs after the scene with
      Koudelka in the London Rats' hideout.


No. 02
Name: Fake-nose Man
Location: Rouen, in the Back Alley
Missable?: No.
Prizes:
[Red]    10 Gauge         (Margarete's Ultimate Weapon)

[Green]  Eye of Ouroboros (Fully restores MP and SP)

      have Margarete in your party to play with Fake-nose man. Meet these
      conditions, and No. 02 will take the place of No. 06.

      Asia (Members 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 09), then you can NOT play with
      Roger in that game EVER! You will have to try again on a New Game, or
      New Game+.
