I think that they should have more of a stacking system like 10 votes maybe a low amount of cash slowly going up and once you've won 100 scramblers than maybe get something similar to a voting chest but not as good as ancient.
I've had the same problem too and I reported it to UnrefinedStyle and she understood it was a server glitch but I lost most of my stuff and never got compensation for it. If this can be fixed by alpha that would be great.
