I never won the lottery either, but I remember reading about this guy who won the jackpot twice. Oh well...

    If you want to have fun in AL, I suggest you don't rely on opening locked crates and instead play the game. If you prefer opening locked crates, might I suggest a trip to Las Vegas would be more enjoyable than playing AL. I still open them occasionally, but never that many and I don't expect to win the jackpot. If I do then it will be a bonus.
    He looted another one 20 crates later totaling 3 Samaels.

    OMG. I could open 1000 crates and I'd probably not get one.

    I gave it a last shot. I now know that I should never 'gamble' in this game again. Opened 200 more. That equals a total of about 800 crates opened (including 2x chance week) and not a single item worth more than 5k other than 25 platinum. After seeing how many peeps get amazing stuff more than once after a few crates (and not just once; they keep on getting arcane and Mythics) I'm really frustrated. Gambling or not, I'm human as well and it hurts. Anyways, happens I guess.

    You're not the only one. Believe it or not, I was never as lucky as I am currently am with crates. Initially, I blew through 14k platinum before catching a whiff of my first mythic. They're there - it's just your choice to keep chasing the carrot or not. For me, I look at it this way: "I'm not going to spend platinum on anything else anyways."

    In a way, it is true - the rest of the game is free play and one can manage without it.
