How the Lottery Works
Buy tickets, join the pool, and let the draw decide. Every ticket is one entry in a cryptographically secure weighted draw — more tickets means better odds — and prizes are split by rank from the total pool after the platform fee.
Buy a Ticket
Choose a draw — Daily ($10), Weekly ($50), Fortnightly ($100), or Monthly ($200). Your ticket price is deducted from your wallet instantly and added to the prize pool. You can hold multiple tickets to increase your chances.
Wait for the Draw
Each draw has a closing time. Daily draws close every 24 hours, weekly every 7 days, fortnightly every 14 days, monthly every month. A minimum number of unique participants must be reached before the draw can run.
Random Winner Selection
At draw time, every ticket is its own entry in a cryptographically secure draw — the more tickets you hold, the higher your chance at every prize rank. Up to three winning tickets are drawn, so a player holding several winning tickets can take more than one rank.
Prizes Credited
Prizes are split between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place and credited to each winner's wallet instantly. You receive an in-app notification and a confirmation email. A new draw opens automatically for the same type.
How Prizes Are Calculated
Step 1
Build the Pool
platformFee = totalPool × feePercent
prizePool = totalPool − platformFee
Step 2
Split by Rank
1st = prizePool × 50%
2nd = prizePool × 30%
3rd = prizePool × 20%
2 winners:
1st = prizePool × 60%
2nd = prizePool × 40%
1 winner:
1st = prizePool × 100%
Step 3
Credit & Notify
if balance > maxWallet:
overflow → platform
notify winner by in-app + email
More tickets = more entries, so a better shot at every rank — and since each ticket is drawn independently, a player holding several winning tickets can take more than one rank. The prize for each rank is a fixed share of the pool (50 / 30 / 20), no matter how many tickets the winner holds.

Pool Breakdown
Prize Split
Three winning tickets are drawn from the 12 in the pool — one possible outcome shown here. Because every ticket is its own entry, a player holding several winning tickets can take more than one rank; winners are not deduplicated by person. Prize amounts are fixed shares of the pool by rank.
Only Two Tickets Sold

Pool Breakdown
Prize Split
The number of ranks equals the number of tickets drawn, capped at three. With only two tickets in the pool, just two ranks pay out and the split becomes 60 / 40.

If the minimum participant count is not met at closing time, the draw is postponed. The end time is extended by the configured duration (default 24 h) and an admin notification is sent. No prizes are paid until the threshold is reached.
