How to Play
Everything you need to know about our decentralized lottery
Lottery Basics
Getting Started
Our decentralized lottery runs on blockchain technology, ensuring complete transparency and fairness. Each round lasts for 7 days, with the possibility of extension if not enough tickets are sold.
Ticket Price
Each ticket costs 0.002 ETH. You can purchase multiple tickets to increase your chances of winning.
Selecting Numbers
Choose 6 unique numbers between 1 and 99 for each ticket. Make sure to select different numbers as duplicates are not allowed.
Lottery Rounds
Active Round
During the active phase, you can purchase as many tickets as you wish. Each round starts immediately after the previous one ends.
Drawing Phase
Once the active period ends, the contract requests random numbers from Chainlink VRF to determine the winning numbers. This ensures fair and verifiable randomness.
Register Winning Tickets
After the winning numbers are drawn, there's a 3-hour window where winners must register their winning tickets. You need to check your tickets and register any winners during this time.
Claiming Prizes
Once the registration period ends, the prize pool becomes claimable. Winners can claim their portion of the prize pool. If there are no winners, the prize rolls over to the next round.
Winning Mechanics
How Winners Are Determined
You win if all six numbers on your ticket match the six winning numbers drawn, regardless of order. The random numbers are generated using Chainlink VRF for true randomness.
Prize Distribution
The prize pool consists of all ticket purchases for the round, minus a small 1% fee. If there are multiple winners, the prize is distributed equally among all winning tickets that have been registered.
Important: Don't Miss Registration!
Even if you have winning numbers, you must register your ticket during the registration period (3 hours after drawing) to be eligible for prizes. Set reminders to check your tickets when the drawing phase begins.
