# Lottery **General Lottery Details** * Cost to enter: 1 ticket = 1 GBONE * Lottery Entry Limit: No overall limit, but only 50 tickets can be bought at a single time through the UI * When you purchase a ticket, you will receive a random 4 digit combination, each digit ranges between 1-14, for example “3-9-8-14”. This 4 digit combination is to be used to to compare to the winning numbers for your chance to win! **The Rules to Win** In order to win any of the prizes, a user must match the 4 numbers on a ticket with the winning numbers (**must be in the same position, order DOES matter**). Additionally, there are prizes for matching 2 and 3 numbers in the corresponding positions!\ **Winning Payouts & Rollovers** * Match all 4 numbers in the exact order = win 50% of the pot (or split the pot if more than 1 winner). * Match 3 numbers in the exact order = win or split 20% of the pot. * Match 2 numbers in the exact order = win or split 10% of the pot. * 20% of the pot will always be burned In the event of no winners, the match 2, 3, and 4 rewards will be rolled over as well. So in that situation 80% would rollover, and 20% would be burnt. Let's look at an example! If the final 4 winning numbers are “3-9-8-14” then… * “1-2-3-4” = match 0 * “1-9-8-4” = match 2 * “3-2-3-14” = match 2 * “1-9-8-14” = match 3 * “3-9-8-14” = match all 4 ### **Lottery Phases** The lottery will occur every 24 hours with the winning number draw occurring at 02:00 UTC! Right after the winners are selected, there is a 1 hour period where ticket purchases are unavailable. An example of the a lottery session is below: Phase 1 - Purchase Tickets (1 hour after the previous draw ends, between 03:00 UTC - 01:59 UTC) * You have 22 hours and 59 minutes to buy tickets (starting at 03:00 UTC). * For every 1 GBONE spent, you will receive 1 ticket. * Every ticket purchased is added to the lottery jackpot, which you can see in the upper right of the page! Phase 2 - Lottery Draws (02:00 UTC) * The winning lottery numbers are drawn and will appear on the page. * Each participant’s winnings will be automatically calculated based on their ticket numbers and shown on the page. * If you won you can claim your winnings! Go tweet and share that you won! * Additionally you can see the total results of all users who matched 2, 3 and 4 numbers * The next lottery will start immediately after **Winning Number Draw Process** The lottery aims to be completely random. Even though the ticket numbers given out are determined by a front-end logic, there is an extremely low chance that anyone is able to determine the 4 winning numbers ahead of time. * The 1st lottery number will be determined based on the %10 remainder of a hash encoded by the blockhash and the number of participating users at the entry deadline. * The 2nd lottery number will be determined based on the %10 remainder of a hash encoded by the blockhash and the total pooled GBONE balance at the entry deadline. * The 3rd lottery number will be determined based on the %10 remainder of a hash encoded by the blockhash and the timestamp of the last lottery participant at the entry deadline. * The 4th lottery number will be determined based on the %10 remainder of a hash encoded by the blockhash and the block difficulty at the entry deadline. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
